It took some mental strength to go into the Turks den of hate, remain totally unfazed and then destroy him in a few rounds.

They are both strong mentally in my opinion. Junior is a cold fish though.

TheLeprechaun wrote: 16 Feb 2018, 14:58 Watched Groves vs Murray and Cox last night and really think there is a chance Eubank can make this look easy. I don't like how Groves defends when combinations are coming his way. Eubank might be a terrible style for Groves with his speed and combination punching. I can see Groves just getting completely outclassed and stopped within 6, as mad as it sounds.
again with you and the murray fight which groves won nearly every round in. he was never in any more trouble than eubank was in rounds 3 vs spike

i thought he won vs cox pretty easily too but he did look gun ho to trade at times and i think he can be lured into a toe to toe firefight that isnt in his best intrests

Does anyone know who boxing news picks in the fight and what method, I like to read the preview of big fights but I don't think I'll be able to get out today to buy the BN.

Paul Wheeler picked Eubank on points. He expects Junior to be increasingly successful in closing the distance and landing effective combinations to catch the eyes of the judges.
