George Groves vs Chris Eubank Jr WBSS Semifinal set for february 17 in the Manchester Arena

looking forward to it / i think eubank will be to mobile and too fast.

 

Why are you pretending to not know that Eubank Jr fought 90% of his career at middleweight you weirdo! BJS schooled him at middleweight.

 

no he is not dont get me wrong winner of eubank/groves can still get it done. but my pick is smith. his path also seems easier to the finals.

 

I think Eubank tears Smith apart. Its a cake walk through the competition for him if he gets past Groves. I won't be surprised if Smith goes life n death with Jurgen Braymer.

 

Really excited about this one. What a matchup!

 

Groves will be knocked out badly here

 

I'm really looking forward to this fight. Despite Groves recent success he's looked past his best and vulnerable to me. He doesn't cope with pressure well, he prefers to keep opponents at a distance and to fight in spurts, but usually Groves power bails him out before he can be broken down.

If Eubank has inherited his fathers chin then I think Groves is in for a gradual beat down before being stopped. Could be a bit like Eubank/Benn 1 with the harder hitting Groves putting the hurt on Jr early, but Jr riding out the storm, hitting back and finishing off a tiring Groves.

 

See Eubank JR. Winning inside the distance. Not to sell Groves short....I think he is a very solid boxer and one of the best at 168, but Jr really impresses me for some reason.....he really hasn’t beaten anyone noteworthy or had a spectacular performance but he has been steadily progressing in every fight. Plus, I was a fan of his pops.

 

I think we should wait until after the Groves fight before we crown Eubank Jr UK Chin King.

 

Yeah Jr's chin while seems good so far has yet to be really tested against a proven puncher. Win or lose Groves will definitely at some point chin check him, Jr is too aggressive to not get caught with something at some point. So we'll see how his chin compares to Froch's epic chin.

 

Spike O'Sullivan rocked him momentarily

 

I'm expecting Groves to out box him btw.

 

Yeah fair point , groves at some point hit Jnrs button, we will no more then. Really looking forward to this one, could be epic.

 

If I recall it didn’t knock his senses it just Jarred him, if you look at it a shot like that would close the show on a fair few opponents.

 

Junior will stop Groves.
