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

[Primo Carnera]

To be fair the blood was bothering him, every time the action broke he was tilting his head to gush it away (did it a million times). And fighters have been making excuses since the dawn of time, nothing new.

Yes , the blood did hinder him .

Yep. I thought he was intentionally trying to get the refs attention on numerous occasions.

Why did you only quote part of my post? Just curious.

I quoted the part that had any relevance to what I said in relation to Batman's post, which was specifically about Jr's eye bothering him, the how, why, where, when is irrelevant to my post.

The cut had no bearing on the outcome (in my opinion).

Deffo won’t be seeing @ross back anytime soon now. Jnr. Was his other bum chum!

Somewhere on another forum ross is currently educating another bunch of saddos about how Eubank was robbed (proved by one judge having it 115-113), will win the rematch and Peter Fury will make him P4P no.1

Wait a minute, Ross is on another forum? You shouldn't have told me that. I'm gonna spend all fucking week trying to find him now.
Saddos, it's been good knowing you, but if I find Ross , I'm gone! See ya.

I know you miss him but stalking him is getting weird.

I'm not sure if I'll go to the trouble of watching this again. It was a decent fight but not one to relive over again. I flipped and flopped on this one and in the end went with a Eubank win on volume, with the caveat that he'd have no trouble with Groves punch power. He didn't deal with the power IMO. I cant remember exactly when it was but it was Early doors. Groves chinned Eubank pretty good and he went backwards. The perfect antidote to the come forward bruiser, an early chinning.

I couldn't help but think that Eubank was making no effort to win the fight, he was scared, like he was for half a fight with BJS. Maybe fuelled by all the 'we don't own towels' talk after Brook got beat by Golovkin/Spence but I thought this fucker is quitting on his biggest night. You don't have to own a towel to chuck it in.

Fair play to him though, he was back in the gym immediately, hitting the pad contraption like he does, making those noises like he does. He's got some raw ingredients but he needs direction and he needs taking back to bare metal. Some boxers go on to make great trainers, some I wouldn't trust to train a fox to kill a chicken. Eubank Sr would appear to be the later. Great talker, I could listen to him till the cows come home, but the proof is in the pudding and something is going horribly wrong at Eubank towers. They thought they'd built the Worlds best, they were very very wrong.
