[Ruthless-RKO]

Poll ended. Majority votes go to Eubank stoppage.

[jamamb]

although actually in total nearly 60 percent went to groves

77 groves (40 decision 37 stoppage)
56 eubank (15 decision 41 stoppage)
3 draw

eubank for me though, hard to decide between points and late stoppage. think hell eventually get groves into his kind of fight.

I still have no idea as to the outcome of this fight.

If Jnr overwhelmed Groves early or put on a boxing clinic I wouldn't be surprised.

If Groves starched Jnr with one punch or put on a beatdown I wouldn't be surprised.

And I wouldn't be surprised if we can't separate them after 12 rounds.

It's tough (for me) because Eubank is still an unknown quantity at this level while Groves can be fragile or tough depending on any given night.

I swear Eubank is the most overrated fighter of all time. Who has he beat? His best opponent was an unfit/un-bothered Saunders ages ago and he still lost

His not even that skilled. He throws wide shots, his footwork and positioning is amatuer and his head movement is hardly Mayweather

Couple that with being small as fvck for a super middle

Where on earth are people getting this 'he'll blow Groves away' crap from?

How is he even favourite?

he's talented and defo top 15 in the world but this over egging is ridiculous. Groves beat better opponents in his first 15 fights than Eubank has now, maybe excluding Abraham, who is old as sh1t

Bump

[Counter-puncher]

I'll give Eubank credit

His head movement was like 30% better than I expected

He definitely has a chin

I suspect at 160lbs he is something of a beast

Trying to work out why I picked Groves KO on this poll, but Groves decision on PTBF

Really? He can’t touch BJS/Alvarez/GGG. Not even close

Nah, he'd get beaten badly by Saunder, Canelo, GGG, Jacobs etc.

Good natural ability, but utterly lacking in fundementals and ring IQ

[Taansend]

I think we can all agree that if it goes to the cards, it's Eubanks fight?

I don't agree with that at all, Mate

You c*nt

He lost a split decision to Saunders. Id like to see the rematch. Saunders thinks it's easy work so get it on.

To be clearer Dan, I should really have said a beast to anyone below the GGG/Canelo level. I'd have to assume a fit BJS somewhat toys with him too, the only thing Eubank add to what Lemieux had to offer would be higher work rate- but let's not get too excited about that, his record throwing high volume against actually moving targets- did he even throw 50 a round against Groves- is literally non-existent. However on his physicality alone I think he'd present signicant problems to world level but not elite fighters, at middleweight.
