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

[Ron Swanson]

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.

I know but he's putting it on thick, Jr also said that he took Groves too lightly.
The blood was bothering him but it didn't look like he was completely blind for 100% of the time after the cut came.

Jr does what he does, I want to hear him admit that he is a jumped up prick who isn't as good as he thought he was....although that's never going to happen

And his next fight will sell and his next because people will want to see him humbled. Adrian Broner gets great ratings because of this. Losing doesn't matter as long as you still act above it all. People will still hate you and tune in to see you. Backwards world we've made

George Groves: WBA super-middleweight champion has surgery



WBA super-middleweight champion George Groves has had surgery on his shoulder but hopes to fight in a delayed World Boxing Super Series final in July.

Groves, who defeated Chris Eubank Jr this month, said he was going for a "minor operation" on Monday morning.

He was in line to face fellow Briton Callum Smith, who beat Dutchman Nieky Holzken, in the final in June.

But the 29-year-old says he has applied to postpone the bout for a month to allow him to recover.

Groves retained his WBA title with a unanimous points win over Eubank Jr on 17 February, but was taken to hospital after the fight with a suspected dislocated shoulder.

He tweeted the news of his operation and said he was "hopeful" he would be granted an extension.

Smith, who beat Holzken in a unanimous points win in Germany on Saturday, went into the series as the favourite.

The winner of the tournament will earn a share of the $50m (£35.6m) prize pool and lift the Muhammad Ali Trophy.
