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

[Fenster]

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

is that true? Did Groves say that? Because I specifically remember when he was sat on the apron after the fight, he was nearly in tears, giving credit to Paddy Fitzgerald for coming in after Booth fucked him over (ok, he didn't quite say that. )
And he eventually got rid of Paddy (rightly or wrongly) because of the need for a top class trainer in his view.
ps. I'm buzzing for this fight for 2 reasons.
1. To see Groves outclass that Clown . And
2. Because I will then become a "Saddo prediction World Champion!" "And the new!"

Pps. I have got one minor panic attack. Does anyone know how I book this through Virgin Media? I haven't seen anything come up.

I am sure there is a channel that you can order it from hidden away in the 900 channels near the adult channels. Not that I look there or anything.

Otherwise phone the virgin.

Or listen to it on radio 5 live with me.

I didnt hear him say it himself. The commentator mentioned it during round 1 I believe.it was probably said out of spite about Booth after the break up. George was in tears in the post fight interview thanking paddy but it reminded me that in the face to face (black room promo) in the build up to the rematch with Froch, groves was asking why Carl needed a sports physiologist and that he (George) doesn't need any help and Carl said there's no problem getting extra help. It's very similar to the dismissive approach eubank has now to external support whereas groves had to go though a learning experience (3 times) to realise you need Help and there's no harm admitting it
