    If Jr wins the Tournament it's like BJS won the tournament

    I really think English Jr has bitten off more than he can chew here. Groves at 12/5 to clean his clock sounds more than fair.

    I hope you're wrong. Personally I'd like to see GG score a highlight reel fall face first sucking the canvas savage KO, but I'd gladly settle for a savage highlight reel out cold spreadeagled on the canvas foot twitch KO too.

    He wont put that on even if it was possible
    If he bulked on that much in that time it would slow him down by at least 10% . No trainer would allow this The focus would be on re hydrating and being in a food energy positive state at the hour of the fight

    The closer this is getting we are seeing more and more people involved in boxing picking Groves to win.

    In the words of Adam Smith.. Fascinating

    Groves is bigger, no denying that, but it won't matter.

    It won't be near a stone difference Jr is a good sized super middleweight now and was a massive middleweight.

    Jr was for sure a bigger middleweight than Groves was a super middle so can't see how it can be more than 8lbs, add the fact that Jr has put on size and I say 5lbs is about right

    If I were being a fan boy I would say it is closer to 2 stone difference but it is my honest opinion.

    I think Yildirim is just as big if not bigger than Groves and Jr didn't look a hell of a lot smaller in that fight.

    Groves will be bigger but nothing to write home about

    George Groves is an excellent skilled technical boxer puncher. He is not Billy Joe Saunders, he is much better than that. He is going to do a number on Eubank Jr.

    14lbs is nothing for a super middle weight to rehydrate after the weigh in, That's pretty normal. joanna jedrzejczyk cut that amount for a fight at 115lb, Thats a tiny woman, A man that normaly walks around at 200lbs can cut that amount of water no problem at all.

    Shocked people don't see Groves as a clear winner in this. Wouldn't even shock me if he wins by KO. Not even Groves biggest fan but Spike (Before getting a beat down) buzzed Jnr a couple times. Groves landing that right hand continuous for 6 rounds and Jnr doesn't make it out of there
