    Eubank Jr 5/4 from 5/1
    Smith 9/4 from 6/4
    Groves 5/2 from 2

    Eubank now made the favourite since the win over Yildirim.

    Groves definitely worth a bet at those odds, I just can't believe the bookies think he is only 3rd.

    Yep, going with Super Groves in this one.
    Like I said in another thread, Both Groves and Smith would have decimated Yildirim too, plodding forward with that porous defence of his.

    You would have to believe that Groves ,assuming he beat Cox that is, should be able use his size and keep Junior at range and grind out a points win ? however I think youthful toughness and a great engine could enable Eubanks to stage a big finish and snatch a win. If it were a Smith v Eubanks final Smith would be well advised to run like a thief and steal a decision

    Astonishing the hype surrounding Eubank jnr who to date hasn`t beaten a single world class fighter and has spent his career fighting cherry picks until he got found out against a bang average middleweight.He has fought cherry picks since and he has zero chance of beating Groves..............Feel free to bring this post back to the top if Eubank were to suddenly become a quality 168 pound fighter and beat Groves.

    The naysayers are panicking. They know deep within their heart of hearts that Eubank will destroy Groves.

    EUBANKS GONNA GET YA.. EUBANKS GONNA GET YA

    It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Eubank Jr wins the tournament.

    Although it is great for happening, it is not a strong competition. Super middle is weak just now.

    Groves ain't the same fighter since the Froch ko, he doesn't have that same confidence.

    Jury is still out on Callam Smith, who imo has the most talent. Maybe the Skoglund fight was dusting off the cobwebs, or the Swede was better than we thought.

    Jr may pull it off however judging by his recent fight you can tell a classy operator would outbox him. Groves or Smith would need to be at the top of their games to beat Eubank, which I'm not sure they will be.

    Nonetheless looking forward to Groves - Eubank.

    Your right, he lost a step since Froch but added little bits to his game since, patience and a bit more disciplined or it could be maturity...One thing I've noticed with him that I haven't heard anyone say yet, is he seems to have a bit of a vacant look to him, slightly imo damaged !

    Groves vs CEJ is the fight of the tournament now.

    CEJ has come on a lot, and Groves has slightly deteriorated.

    CEJ also showed what a mature man he is in dealing with the drug addict and long time schlong rider Lily Allen.
    Never has a private school girl faked a "London twang" so badly and never has a virtue signalling hypocrite been so badly exposed.

    It was the lowest of the low for her to try to grandstand about someone's personal life like that, all to stand up for some escort ring card girls.

    Yeah I would agree. Groves is seemingly poor at sparring, and has been turned over on numerous occasions. I'm not his biggest fan, I find him odd, however I hope he does not suffer (or already is suffering) from punch drunk syndrome.

    You for real?

    Tonight made me even more confident that Eubank destroys Groves. Groves will pull out - he was shook. He couldn't even bring himself to look at Jnr.

    Where was the Groves ramrod jab that is going to keep CEJ from going to work inside?

    Groves best hope is his big right hand and it can't be discounted, but on tonight's evidence Eubank is fitter, faster and in a better position to bring his best attributes to bear on the fight than Groves. If CEJ can get inside and it goes past 5 it's career ending for GG.

    Eubank will look tiny when in the ring against GG, trust me. And he has zero power to affect Groves.

    If anyone is pulling out it's Eubank, y'know like he always does when up against a proper fighter.
