Groves v Eubank Jnr - WBSS Semi Final 17/2/18

[nuggetdotcom]

Might have a rare bet on this,

I'm now getting a gut feeling that Groves will bang him out in the 1st or 2nd round as Eubank walks straight onto a massive right hand just like Froch did early on.
I'm thinking with Eubanks chin often in the air and also being physically the smaller man (by quite a bit come fight night) can he really take that same punch that very nearly wiped Froch out?

Odds of 40-1 and 50-1 on an early Groves win.

Might stick £20 on each

Admire your bottle, who dares wins! Another week to pontificate, but from Sunday all we will get is mediabollox from the papers, and each of the so-called boxing writers have their own favourite promoters, depending on who buys them the most lunches.

You could be on to something with that Smashup. Groves does hit very hard and if he is going to stop Eubank it will be early. Myself though I think Groves might score an early knockdown, will bank the early rounds, but could be floundering a bit late due to his engine problems. It could well be a classic. Of course Calzaghe would stop them both inside of 3 rounds, but that is because Calzaghe and Toney dominate any discussion I might have. It is still a good fight.

I'm gonna go for the bet still but am also secretly hoping we get a Benn v McClellan style out and out war (minus the injury)
Everyone's talking about this fight and Eubank Jnr was on Good Morning Britain earlier hyping it up.
