I had Eubank in this, but he's getting chumped. Not over yet, but he's going to have to turn up the heat a LOT and Groves to wilt.

What an end to the 9th!

Groves edges it for his earlier work.

6-1 Groves after 8

Just highlights why Eubank desperately needs to be working with someone. He has no idea how to set anything up. No imagination, no strategy, just swinging for the fences hoping to get lucky. I like his determination but hate his arrogance..

Groves is useless and panicy up close, and his chin isn't great. I expected Eubank to improve a level, close the range and wear him down by forcing the pace from the start.

He's not done it. Groves is still fresh.

I think Groves dislocated his left shoulder in the last round.

To little to late for Eubank.
Groves win for me better boxing throughout.

Anything other than a wide unanimous decision for Groves is an utter joke.

Looked like it. When he extended it and Eubank threw that wild right I wondered.
