    eubanks jnr is one of the most exciting fighters around atm.

    I think vs groves will be an interesting fight. gg held his own toe to toe (before ktfo) against froch plus he can fight at long range where those uppercuts will be punished.

    eubanks was breathing heavy in the third round as the turk was keeping the pace frantic. we haven't seen how his stamina will hold up when someone good is also throwing accurate hard punches.

    Just watched the post fight interview.

    Man, senior cracks me up when he does his new habit of starting a sentence by saying "we" before he corrects himself and changes it to "he"

    He absolutely was not breathing heavy. He's proven time and time again he has an elite gas tank, truly elite endurance. No SMW throws his level of output for 12 rounds.

    I see Smith winning this tournament.I think he is fresh and has a big performance in him.Groves is not at his peak anymore but will beat Eubank.jnr in a tough fight.I see Callum being too fresh for Groves in final,and too good for Eubank.jnr should he get there.

    He's fresh because he hasn't done anything, and it's a joke he's the favourite. Was poor against skoglund.

    Based on what I saw vs Skoglund, I don’t think he’d be too good vs Jr. Plus he’d have Joe G filling his head full of guff.

    Smith granted he did not fight for nearly a year v skogland so bound to be rusty. I did have my doubt about Jr moving up in weight facing seasoned SMM. For me Jr is now the favourite after the devastating performance last night. A lot were saying against yildirim would be a really tough fight and the guy is a bull. It really was devastating and made a big statement.

    Quite a few already said Jr has a great engine and speed, has a good chin and good strong power. He will be too good for both groves and smith. Of course its just my opinion.

    I thought callum smith wud win it but I'm changing my mind to eubank. Too young and hungry for groves and he'll stop smith in the final

    I can't see GG knocking out CEJ and I question whether Groves can match CEJ's pace for the full 12 so therefore I see CEJ being the favourite for the final. Should Smith do as expected and reach the final, then Eubank needs to overcome Smiths physical advantages. Beyond that, Eubank holds all the cards, more experienced, better engine, much quicker hand speed, although not as powerful I feel Eubank is the better finisher and Eubank has that killer instinct and no doubt.

    What had Yildirim done before the Eubank fight besides knock DeGale’s teeth out? Are we not getting carried away here?

    Massively. That fight has no bearing on how a Groves fight would go.

    I just watched the yildirim fight back, last time I watched jr fight was highlights against quinlan

    he's improved a lot and I like the fact that he was using the jab loads which looks pretty sharp now

    groves might be on the slide as he looked spent against chudinov before he got the stoppage

    it'll be a really close fight with groves but I'm giving jr the advantage as he looks fresher if he beats groves he should go on to win the tournament although ive seen nothing of brant yet

    He has no big wins on his record, that true, but....
    People were saying he had certain characteristics....big size...apparently boxed at light heavy etc. Great engine, comes on strong late on in fights etc. He was genuinely regarded as having qualities that would trouble Eubank by many people.

    He got a decent win against Periban, although he got tagged plenty in that fight. I thought his size might cause Jr problems and assumed he had more solid whiskers but he got clocked big time and folded. OTTOMAN GLASS
