i fell for it a bit too, but deffo not as bad as other did
hes a decently athletic, fit guy who can take a shot but has next to no skill, ring iq, and lacks serious pop at a high level
ive also seen ppl saying he had the 'it' factor of self belief, intangibles, etc, but funny that doesnt come out when he actually fights top opponents

It's just hype easy to believe but no way was he beating Groves wasn't close imo.

Losing to BJS & Groves does not make you crap. He’ll come again. Should deff go back to 160

i didnt say it made him crap. overrated means the difference between how ppl rated him and how good he really is. honestly i think by groves standard that wasnt even a tough 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

Got taken to school, and this is the only way he'll learn. He needs to change things up in the gym, but I fear it's too late.
Put someone in front of him who stands still and he'll always look brilliant, but anyone with good footwork and a good jab is going to cause him problems.

Too late for him, having his dad talking twaddle and blowing smoke up his arse hasn't helped.

I knew it would be a shut out, really what has Jnr ever done? Groves was vastly more experienced and proven world class, not to mention much bigger. I was try to get the Mrs to get a grand out the savings account to bet on it all week but she wouldn't have none of it. :lol

I know I should've listened to CP
Think Eubank was hurt slightly in the 2nd from a right hand BTW, the only success Jr had was from those wild swings, everything else Groves dealt with ease
