Chris Eubank Snr has constantly been banging on about the Ref stopping the fight and protecting Groves while mentioning Watson, Blackwell etc etc.

Is he right to do this?

Is he a crusader for safer boxing?

Is he just trying to get inside of Groves head?

I've been a fan of his since about his 2nd fight (reading about him in the overseas section of Boxing News) but he's really getting on my tits with this.

and there was the whole seriously worried for tommy langfords long term health thing too

meangwhile lets post footage of junior battering lowly sparring partners!

I've never seen him be anything but

I've always viewed him as odd but he's just too much now

All this BS will be forgotten about in the first round when Groves is jabbing Jnr's head off, its laughable the way he talks about his son as thought he's some devil reincarnation, he's basically a novice with average power who makes a lot of mistakes, he's fought one world class fighter who was out of shape and had to loose 2 and a half stone in a few weeks, and he lost. It's good to see Groves not getting caught up in the hype, but he wouldn't, he's knows it's gonna be an easy night.

It's Chris Eubank.

I'm going with yes.

There's plenty of threads about the fight Roy.

This is just about Snrs comments in the build up

Ok yeah he's a fcuking helmet, used to have his posters up as a kid, can't stand the pudendum now

Senior has been a grade 1 knob since his pro days, but this is the Eubank selling point. I very much doubt Sr would have had the career he had if he was a 'normal' bloke.

This is why people love to hate the Eubanks, as much as the Kardashirans'

I'll be honest Mimmy. I think the pre Watson Eubank had the potential to be so much better than he was post Watson.

Just a feeling on my part but I feel he didn't put 100% into his punches after that.

He's always been a character of his own choosing, also someone whom I imagine to be great if you're on side with him. (like a lot of loveable arseholes )
He made a fortune bring hated, and he had everything required to back up that character.
I haven't seen or heard anything recently to think he's felt the need to change in any respect whatsoever.
I know a lot of people who say things I don't like and definitely don't agree with but they're alright ; likewise Eubank was always a knob but always alright in my book.

I'd forgotten all about that, but remember it being a thought and talking point at the time.

Apologies Mimmy, I repeated much of what you posted because I hadn't tread the thread til after I posted.

Eubank snr is an articulate guy. It‘s easy to slag him, it would be harder to actually debate/argue with him.

Getting on nipple ends was his whole thing for years! Endlessly booed everywhere and he stood there smug as it gets, indestructible ego that ane.

I actually liked him growing up. Remember watching him on tv with my old man when I was a boy and I couldn't get enough! He's a fuckin annoying bore now man!

Also he may be trying to put doubts in the refs head and hope he dives in early.

I fvcking hate him a lot of the time, but kind of admire him for it. Just like some of my longer standing acquaintances and many close friends

He pulled out injured after contracts were exchanged, then English went round telling everyone they really pulled out because of the discrepancy in levels and damage Jr would do. Fwank sued, and won.

That's what I'm thinking he's doing.

Half of me now wants Groves to win by early, controversial, stoppage

It would have been nice to see Sr mix it with the best in the division at the time but I feel money was his motive for fighting and not really glory in the sense of world titles. I think he was happy with the title he had and exploited it by being a knob and selling seats to his fights.

I'm not saying he would have been beating the likes of Roy Jones and Mike McCallum for example but I dont think he would have embarrassed himself
