I guess the Irishman got paid well but he had the chance to put himself in the shop window tonight and he took his pieces of silver.
Eubank did what he had to do, can't say anything against him

Absolutely disgusting interview there, he (interviewer) was just trying to get a reaction out of it, actually Eubank Jnr showed some class there to not get involved to much.

Yeah - I remember the Skoglund fight and peeps on here shouting "big, stiff idiot" at Smith and the internet.
:yay: that would have been me
Well you weren't wrong were you ?
Smith has got a lovely size, range and one-punch power, but he IS a kinda slow 'big stiff idiot'.
IF GG was guaranteed to be injury free he'd be more like 80/20 favourite.

Is there nothing happening boxing wise just now? Im watching the Croatian broadcast on Arena Sport 2 but they cut to champions league highlights after the Eubank interview. I get the sense they have no studio set up and are filling a gap until the main event starts.

I'm going out on a limb here, Groves is shopworn after Eubank fight, gets taken out by Smith in 6th

Groves is know where near the fighter he once was but I think Smith is overrated and wont be the fighter to show it. Groves by decision

I guess, the fight will appear to be pretty even with Groves taking the decision.

So no one thinks Smith can come out like he did with Rocky?
I've not seen him do it since, but he does have it in him for sure.

I was just reading BS breakdown of the fight, Keith Idec is picking Smith. I really don't know.
Great to have a 60/50-50/50 final fight though :yay:
