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

[Master]

This is getting me excited in anticipation of this fight.

Wonder where I can watch/hear it for free, does anyone know if radio has coverage?

Decent fight, but not a world shaking matchup.

We know all about Groves, good technique, excellent jab and a very sharp right hand. Can be hurt, and he gasses out badly. We know what to expect.

Eubank Jnr is an unknown quantity. He seems solid enough and by all accounts has sparred well and has a good chin. Of course, he has benefited from his surname and his silly media personality.

I think I will go for Groves (marginally); more big fight experience, more ringcraft and he will be much bigger that Jnr on fight night. Perhaps a bit of vaghela ntroversy, with the ref stopping Jnr in the mid rounds, and the Eubanks claiming bitterly that it was a premature stoppage.

of course, this one could go the other way, with Jnr taking control after the mid point when Groves slows down. Or, knowing my predictions, a 30 second blowout for somebody

You bloody cheapskate! I have already offered you a room and a begging pitch in Windsor, perhaps if you bed down outside the Manchester arena you may hear something useful, that you can record on your cassette system, hope the weather gets better.

Surprisingly Eubank Jr seemed really nervous at the press conference. Whatever he says about sparring back in the day he clearly admires Groves,
he can't hide the respect, just listen to how he constantly says he will "PROVE, PROVE, PROVE." All those nights ringside watching Groves (Froch, DeGale, Jack, etc) have clearly left an impression.

Look at Jr nervously shuffling about before the face off, waiting for Groves to take the lead.


(I still can't believe the size difference, Groves never monsters over anyone (ignoring Cox))

Groves looks ice cold and in the zone to me. Eubank seems to be rattling, downed an entire bottle of water at that press conference.
Adam Booth has recently said that Groves is the one who hurt Eubank in those spars years ago and also said that one of them wants this fight way more than the other.
Let's not forget that Groves hand picked Jnr as well.
Really think Groves is gonna bang him out more now I've watched that presser.
Eubank snr is trying to plant seeds in the refs head with his "protect the fighters" B.S..
Only reason he's saying this is because Jnr is a volume puncher and maybe if he swarms Groves and throws enough knuckle the ref might be hoodwinked into stopping it prematurely.
Groves by KO/Stoppage inside 5 rounds.
Still sticking £20 on round 1 and 2 Groves KO though.

It would be cool if the losers of the semi's fought each other on the undercards of the finals for both divisions.

More and more confident in my Groves pick the closer we get to the fight.

It is supposed to be shown on their Facebook and YouTube pages in the States. You might need to use a proxy to set your location to US.

@Master if you were a cool cat you could have gone round to our Nige's to watch it, you wouldn't have to pay for the fight, you would just have to pay for the cocaine and hookers

I have no idea how to do that. I still use VHS to record my boxing.

Buzzing for this now. I've done the ppv on Virgin. I have to say ITV and everyone else for that matter, really need to look at Sky for marketing tips. If this was on Sky , it would be absolutely everywhere! It didn't even come up as a ppv option till yesterday.
ITV have got to use their advantage of being a FREE mainstream channel with far more viewers than anyone else and attract Joe Public by advertising the shit out of this in prime time.
If ITV had made as much of this as they would of a new blockbuster drama series that is coming out, it would've rivalled the great sporting nights of years gone by because nowadays, hype is everything.

[Master]

It is true ITV have not made a fuss about the boxing they have on offer. It is like they do not want to let mainstream fans know. They must have a sky spy working for them giving them bad advice.

Right then I'm on my way round to me Mom N Dads now, I'm guessing my old man won't have a clue how to order the fight.

Can you just do it directly through Sky or is there a load of registering bollocks to go through?
