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

[skanksta]

R7 clearly for Walsh - he hurt IL and backed him up repeatedly.

RW 65 - 68 IL

[Yes We Can]

4-2-1 Lowe.

[Neil Gee]

I've still got it even. Lowe is throwing a lot but much of it is being slipped by Walsh. 3-3-1.

Is anyone else noticing that SKY are giving this a bit more attention for a fight they are not broadcasting? Seems like loads of SKY's boxing team are there.

[Yes We Can]

4-3-1

Lowe starting to look more ragged, still having success but it feels like the tide is turning.

[East End]

Isaac's low hands are ok while his footwork is fleet enough to avoid what's coming at him but he appears to be tiring a bit now so needs to get the hands up

[East End]

That ninth was a superb round of move/countermove boxing and deserved a helluva lot better from this crowd than the near silence with which it was greeted

[Yes We Can]

5-3-1 Lowe.

Good fight and i wouldnt mind seeing a rematch.

[skanksta]

87-87 Walsh has evened it up and is coming on strong as we start the 10th...

[Like a Boss]

What should be an intriguing fight not far away now.

[Neil Gee]

I thought Lowe nicked the 8th and clearly outmanoeuvred Walsh for most of the ninth. Lowe 2 up.

[Yes We Can]

6-3-1 Lowe....

could see Walsh just getting to him before the end. some very close rounds again and i wouldnt complain if it was even now.

[Yes We Can]

6-4-1 Lowe.

much better round fro walsh. Still feel he could grind out a knockdown.

[skanksta]

I've got Lowe a point up thru' 11.
It's all on the last.,,,

[Neil Gee]

10th & 11th close but thought Walsh just nicked them both. All even going into the last for me.

[skanksta]

Walsh wins the last 115-114 on my card, good fight

[mustlogin]

Lowe clearly won this.

[East End]

Again, we are not looking at fighters who are going to be bothering the likes of Santa Cruz, Russell, Valdez and Selby but what a cracking quality domestic title fight. Well worthy of its place as chief support for what's to come

[Neil Gee]

Too close to call. If I couldn't have the draw and had to pick one I'd say Walsh, just. Great battle.

[skanksta]

Fair draw.

[Zubrei]

A draw isn't a terrible call there. Walsh was stronger in the final 4, but couldn't hit Lowe in the first 4.

[jamamb]

draw is very fair

to the guy who said lowe clearly won--no way.

[MightyWarrior]

Love Chris Eubank he’s genuinely of another planet, beamed down to earth.

[Like a Boss]

Eubank:
“Complete and utter victory. Domination. The tactics are to win by any means necessary within the rules of boxing. I don’t want the fight to go 12 rounds - I want a knockout, I want to make a statement to the rest of the tournament, and to the boxing world.”

Groves:
“He knows that once I find my range, he’s got no chance."

[Cholo_cws]

Eubank Sr.'s probably too clichéd even for the movies.
