What the second fight? Froch was on his A game an clearly better than Groves in every department

No he wasn’t. The second fight was close until Froch closed the show

OK maybe my bias has changed my memory. I'll watch it again I remember thinking Froch outclassed him in all areas and it was a matter of time until he kod him

Two years ago I would have said Groves all day long. I just think Eubank is peaking and looking to make a statement where Groves has achieved his ambition of a world title and did get a bit too involved in his last couple of fights.

However Yildrim was made for him and so has everyone else he has faced since Saunders. This is the true test to see if he has improved from that loss.

jamamb wrote: ↑23 Nov 2017, 20:01 ppl have a really strange sense of how groves was before froch. he really wasnt much different. its lazy commentary really.just assuming those fights took it out of him. theres good reason froch was a big big favourite first time and degale was a large favourite. groves wasnt looking much better then at all. in fact he had that scare vs anderson and could look really sloppy at times.he also faded vs degale, before the froch fights.

i think hes actually tightened up his boxing.

You may have a point there, I'd say the Groves who fought Jack was technically a clear couple of steps ahead of the one who fought Anderson or maybe Froch

To me the difference now is he has lost something in the snap/timing of his offence, could be as James McDonnell says loss of confidence in his offence, I don't know I just intuit that his punches haven't got quite the same pizzazz.

I wouldn’t necessarily say I actively think Eubank Jr will pull out. But I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he does.
