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

[nuggetdotcom]

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?

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.

Just rewatched groves vs Froch and they said how groves was his own man and didn't need a trainer whereas Froch relied heavily on McCracken. It's a role reversal in this fight. Groves has matured since and admits he needs a strong cornerman in mguigan and eubank is the young naive guy who thinks he can do it all on his own. Wonder if it will play as a big a part as it did that night in 2013

ironically eubank was boasting about what he was doing at such a young age and groves pointed out he is only one year older than Chris. Groves had already had 3 world title fights by the time he was Eubanks age now. Eubank hasn't had 1 yet
