Groves rumored to be replaced by Eubank Jr. in WBSS finals

[Primo Carnera]

I don’t even want to contemplate all this bullshit.

It would be a very anticlimactic final if this happened. Like has already been stated, not that it’s a terrible fight if Eubanks steps in but it isn’t the actual final.

Fucks sake, we get rid of one absolutely cunt in Haye and then Jr gets given a platform again, and all this with Khans recent comeback as well.

If anything they should give the other semi finalist Braehmer who had to pull out through injury the first offer as technically he remains undefeated in the WBSS.
Thing is Eubank Jnr is the much bigger name. $£$£$£

I can’t be silent on this anymore. They’ve even put this on the Boxing Scene website. What a fucking joke!
And as for all this “it’s a decent match up” bollocks, why?
Eubank Jr. Was CRUELLY EXPOSED as a fucking novice against Groves. It was also evident that he’s not a big SMW, Callum Smith is. And I know Smith hasn’t uprooted any trees in this tournament, but he’s done a whole lot more than Eubank Jr.
If they need a replacement for Groves , they should be looking at:
Braehmer - didn’t lose
DeGale, Ramírez, Benavidez - all have proper belts to give the final kudos.
Uzcategui , Zeuge - both have better belts than Eubanks’s IBO sham.
All of these DESERVE to earn $4 million more than Eubank does.
If fucking LOSERS are gonna get rewarded just because they talk big, then I won’t be long for this sport!

I've got a lot of time for Saurland, having been to his shows in Germany, he is a quality promoter, compared to ours. I think he may have bitten off a bit more than he can chew with this 'knockout' format WBSS. As adventurous as it is it is capable of being bedevilled by injuries, thus disrupting the promotional schedule , and leaving the promoter open to criticism, or even accusations of favouritism over his choice of subs. If he has no subs it buggers his WBSS system if there are injuries and the whole WBSS thing takes 3 bloody years and everybodys lost interest. Overall I think it was a good effort to rejuvenate boxing interest, but in danger of going tits up now. All credit to Kalle for trying something new, but bad luck with the injuries. Oh, I forgot to mention that if EU Jr was re-instated I would throw a shit fit.

Sauerland is the front man for the tournament it's not his dough or sole promotion.

As a standalone fight Eubank-Smith is excellent. Smith hasn't proved himself at top level, hasn't fought anyone close to a Groves or Saunders, in fact he's never faced anyone that can be regarded top 10-15-20 in the independent supermiddle rankings. Jr is a big step up for him. Great matchup.

Braehmer was my thinking, then have the winner face Groves in the final at a later date. I think he had a falling out with the promoters tho.

The Smith/ Eubank fight could be a semi final to face Groves once he's back, Smith got an gimme really.

Whilst I hate the thought of Jr getting the nod it would be unfair on Smith to force him to take another fight (not to mention it's probably against the contract) and what happens if he got injured would Groves have to take another fight in the meantime
