Round-By-Round - George Groves (WBA) vs. Chris Eubank Jr (IBO) - February 17th 2018

[Fearful_Freddie]

Eubank would have won in a car park. Not in a boxing ring though. Groves by far the better boxer.

[ShadrachSimmo]

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 did you see in him against Groves?

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.

What fight did you watch?

[SamWise72]

It wasn't a million miles away in that last 30 seconds. Why he didn't take risks earlier is a mystery. Groves was making it hard for him, but he needed to take the risks and he didn't.

[Rexob]

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

Groves better jab, technition and overall boxing.

[MightyWarrior]

Amazing that dopey ring announcer gets the best ringside seat in the house

[Twinkle Toes]

Groves shoulder went in that last round

[TempleSlave]

Groves comfortably NTS but I’m not a fan. He had Jr on a plate and didn’t go for it at all. Kept boxing when he was meant to execute.

[Neil Gee]

Too little too late again. I can't believe I backed E to win that. Can't believe I fell for the hype. I'm truly disappointed.

[jamamb]

eubank has to be one of the most overrated fighters in years. i fell for it too a bit.

[Rob3_142]

Also LOL when the boxer that's CLEARLY lost celebrates at the final bell

What fight did you watch?

I watched this one, and saw Groves look uncomfortable up close still, but dictate the range easily. As I said, I thought Eubank needed to up a level over what we have seen, but I thought he could. I was wrong.

[SAPFO]

117-111 Groves for me. Eubank would probably go harder easier in rematch. No justification for it though

well eubank does have that 'self belief' mate

[lillywhite14]

Levels. Eubanks lucky he inherited his dads chin!

Groves was fairly comfortable until the last couple when stamina closed the gap.

Eubanks too late to the sport. Telegraphs everything

[fizzjambo]

And with that surely the Eubank Jnr myth is finally put to bed. Plodding, one dimensional, lacking in one punch power and dreadfully slow feet. He’s a brave kid with a good chin and is always in excellent condition but he’s European level. In reality he’s never beaten anyone remotely close to elite level and I cannae see how he ever will

[Rexob]

Eubank would have won in a car park. Not in a boxing ring though. Groves by far the better boxer.

To be honest Eubank was pretty poor footwork he's just very fit and Hasn't the style to beat a seasoned campaigner like Groves

[Fearful_Freddie]

Good decision.

[Nightmare Roy]

115-113 GTFO!

[Rexob]

Unanimous Groves well done correct.

[Rexob]

Unanimous Groves well done the right winner there
.

[SamWise72]

115-113 GTFO!

Yeah, it wasn't that close

[gilgamesh]

Ouch. Guess Eubank just ain't on this level. I overestimated him or underestimated Groves. Maybe a little bit of both. Anyway. Well done Groves.

[Neil Gee]

Scores too close. for me I thought GG won every round.

[Rob3_142]

Cannot wait to see the interviews (excuses) tomorrow

[brian13]

What were the scores?
