Groves v Eubank

RMJ

I know there are some boxing fans on here. Predictions? 

I can't see anything other than a Groves win. Don't understand the Eubank hype at all

Groves all day long for me....should be a good fight though

Eubank for me. Groves not as good as he thinks he is and Eubank is getting better each fight.

It's all hype.

Groves comfortably. Eubank has better work rate and a possibly a better chin, nowt else.

Just ordered it, if Eubank can take Groves early power then I think a comfortable points win for him.  Froch ruined Grove.

I put a tenner on Groves a week ago.  He's got a much better CV & hopefully he does it.

I'm going on Eubank, he's particularly vicious in the ring and although Groves is the bigger man with the harder punch, i think Eubank will land a lot more. I don't rate Groves, he's not anywhere near in the same league as GGG, he's clumsy and often doesn't press an advantage. I've much preferred watching Eubanks rise, he's very aggressive and definitely has better vision than Groves.

I don’t think it is all hype. He wants to prove himself and Groves is the right opponent for him to do so.

I’m not saying he will win but I certainly think he can win...

Eubank did ok against Saunders 4 years ago. Alright he didn’t win - but if he was all hype Saunders would have exposed him and won easily instead of getting the decision.

 Groves is an underdog with 2.37 odds against 1.61 for Eubank.

It was about 8-4 to Saunders. Never a split decision. And Saunders has peaked since. 

Plus that was at 160. Eubank has fought no one at 168 to prove he can do anything.

Fucking mental!

Just stuck a tenner at 3-1 on groves by ko/tko. I think he will go for it early as Eubank is slicker and imho is the fitter man. Groves can hit and is a lump at this weight.

I think Eubank will  finish Groves career.

That was entertaining...

Eubanks' strategy wasn't great at all - he was missing shots by a mile and that desperate last round could be fruitful but it was already too late.

On a plus side though:

It is a unanimous points victory for George Groves. The judges scores were 117-112, 116-112 and 115-113, so five, four and two-round margins.

"If you can box you beat Eubank. Simple"

Groves had the better game plan although he provided very little entertainment.
