WBSS super-middleweight competition update - Groves vs Eubank Jr set

I think you're letting the performance against Zurdo mess with your head a little, CEJ fights nothing like Ramirez, and without a doubt in my mind Ramirez shuts CEJ out in a similar fashion. As far as Smith and Murray go, no they're not all that great, but both of them gave career best performances against AA, and still couldn't quite get the job done, Murray was holding the majority of the second half, and Smith was almost stopped in the rematch.

IMO Krasniqi, De Carolis, Smith, Murray, Sjekloca and Stieglitz are all a level or two above O'Sullivan, Blackwell and Quinlon, and from what I've seen post his CEJ match, Chudinov is about as average as they come. Murray handled Blackwell far easier than CEJ, and I'd pick everyone of the guys I listed on AA's resume to beat the guys on CEJ's resume.

CEJ has faced one truly live body, and lost to him 8-4. He hasn't improved, he hasn't changed, he's still the same guy. CEJ can't outmuscle AA, he's not strong enough, so the holding probably won't be as effective, most guys don't lunge in on AA without paying a price, and even now, most opponents are heading in the opposite direction as AA walks them down. I see CEJ lunging in with attack after attack eating massive straight rights and jabs, both of which AA still throws very well, over and over until one of them finally catches him and does some damage, and possibly won't recover, and he'll be stopped late.

 

Hey guess what, I picked Berchelt over Vargas, Sor Rungvisai over Gonzalez and Horn over Pacquiao, and laid out the ultimately very valid reasons why on Kirk's thread, as @KiwiMan can attest, so eat a dick. No one will ever top those three predictions in a 7 month span on this site, ever.

The only time I pick with my heart is when they're genuinely 50/50, like Brook/Spence and Wlad/AJ. I'm not picking with my heart on CEJ/AA.

 

So wait, you hype the match saying AA is no gimme and will be a stern ver y tough test for Jr., but when I step on your boyfriend's toes in a big way and lay out a reason why AA will beat him, your inner fangirl comes out baring your claws and fangs I see.

I guess you really don't believe anything you said anc actually do think Jr. will sweep this tournament. And you say IDKSAB.
