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

I hope he is fit and ready because I do not want tha shoulder poppoing out against Smith and Groves retiring and losing through injury.

If he steps in that ring, there's no excuses.

Groves really does need to be in the final tho.

Watch the video in the above link, he looks ready to go to me but hitting pads for 30 seconds and getting in the ring are miles apart so the longer the fight goes the riskier it is for Groves Shoulder to fuck up again.
Maybe Groves will go for a quick KO and come out like he did against Froch in their first fight?
Smith has a massive 6 inch reach advantage over Groves and a 4 inch height advantage at 6ft 3 tall to Groves 5ft 11 tall so has all the physical advantages.
Groves relies heavily on establishing his superb jab but might struggle to against a guy with much longer arms?

Just see Smith as tough yet limited in overall body movement and skill
Groves more all round and able to establish himself no matter what happens

Heard Smith was saying he would prefer to wait for Groves for the final. Hopefully they can get it sorted.

I've just heard they will wait for Groves after all and not replace him.

That is great news and common sense prevails.

Inevitable conclusion.

They saw sense and realised that despite cost of moving the date, this matchup of the right people completes the competition that way it should be.
