I don’t really care who wins (unless they are a Scot or Danny Williams I generally never have) but I honest believe that Groves scuds Eubank here, and I realise that’s a minority view. I just don’t see anything in Eubank that makes me especially impressed.
I mind years ago watching Abraham at middleweight and just not understanding what all the hype was about, he just looked like a very tough plodder who got some fairly generous decisions and fought some uninspiring opposition. Eubanks a different fighter but I view him in the same way. Nowt special. Groves batters him either late or wide on the cards IMO
Eubank won’t know what’s hit him when Groves lands. He’s a much bigger puncher than anything he has faced. His jab should give Eubank all kinds of trouble too

Yep, I'm similarly inclined... and seeing footage of Eubank preparing by beating up on a novice in sparring doesn't make me feel any differently.
I'm rooting for Groves. Always had a bit off a soft spot for him.
I think Eubanks been incredibly well matched since his lost to BJS. Guys like Abraham, Yildrim, Quinlan are all very static targets, which suits Eubank.
Groves should be a much harder fight. I think Groves will have a pretty handy early lead, Eubank to come into the fight later on but Groves may just hold on to win a narrow points decision.
Deserter- Even Eubanks highlights make me think he'll lose, he finished that last fella throwing about 16 consecutive hooks with both hands, all squared up and chin in the air. How many world level blokes who actually know what they're about are going to get done that way?

The Brighton man, in camp for his World Boxing Super Series semi-final on February 17, dished out some punishment in a segment for talkSPORT.
Father Chris Sr., himself a former two-weight world title holder, had to step in TWICE as things threatened to get out of control with boxer Craig McCarthy.

Using his trademark combinations and crushing uppercuts, Eubank Jr. was clearly in the mood for a scrap before the training session was halted prematurely.
