Groves does seem to rely on his trainer and should start taking credit in himself..he done a fantastic job winning that world title

I think Groves looked and sounded nervous.

When Groves talked about his relationship about his dad that is when Junior got upset. Groves should do that more.

Let's talk weight.

Eubank is not a natural 168 fighter..how will that be an advantage or disadvantage for him.?

Eubank has grown into the weight and is fresher. It is not as if Groves will use his natural superweight strength to beat Junior. Groves has to use the distance, his jab and set up the right hand. If Junior gets too close those uppercuts will knock out George.

Jab is the key for Groves.

Body language tells me he seems flustered.

Just watched that. That was fun. He's not relying on his trainer. He was banging on about that to highlight to his opponent the importance of a proper training team. Don't be mistaken into thinking Groves doesn't have self belief. trust me, he KNOWS he's got too much for Jr.
As for being nervous as Master said, nah, I don't think so, I think he loved it.
Jr. - "When the going gets tough......"
Groves - "what, you gonna start singing now?" Fuckin priceless!
And when Sr. starts talking, Groves says "I thought you weren't gonna say anything!!" And then pisses himself.
Groves was having a blast in there, and all Jr. could come back with are the same old sound bites , yawn,yawn, yawn.
Then you have Sr. talking about Jr's "Internal navigation system." Another one for the meaningless dictionary.
Groves is gonna win this, 100%

Never seen Jr that talkative/animated at a press conference (and i'm nerdy enough to watch most), he was absolutely oozing respect for Groves (amongst the pre-planned statements), something he's never shown before, and bit several times from Grove's little digs.

I was surprised Groves was significantly bigger, even though it was ones-and-twos vs bumpers. Groves speaking about Jr's basic style not being cute enough to cause him problems was a bloody good point.

Jr has no chance from the outside. And will walk into the hardest/slickest shots he's ever "not" seen trying to impose himself on Groves. Nearly convinced me to change my mind from a Jr win. Hmmm...

Is he off his nut here?

Always off his nut...sniff sniff.

Very entertaining though and is doing a great job with this super series.
