    I feel dumb for thinking that Eubank could have won, I thought that Groves was going to win but imo it was a 60/40 kind of fight, Eubank showed no skill, he is quite athletic but George nullified everything with his craft along with a great jab and head movement, I also think that George dropped Eubank and the referee said that it was a slip, George is a fighter that learns from his mistakes and is one fight away to become the man at 168.
    Eubank said that it wasn't about experience but experience matters, a lot, if he wants to reach his potential, he needs to change his corner.

    Eubank misses more than me missing my ex.

    To be fair tho he did take some big boy shots and didn’t go down. But I don’t think having a good chin is really gonna do much for all his other glaring flaws

    I feel you but Saunders can make anyome in the world look bad though hes a elite quality operator. Groves is no saunders.

    Eubank disappointed me tremendously tonight.

    Sloppy, wild and had no idea what to do when Groves tied him up on the inside.

    Fair play to Groves. He said it throughout that Jr is too raw

    It was the same feeling I had in the Wlad-Fury match, only the opposite direction..... since I was rooting for Wlad in that one.:lol:

    I hope the shoulder injury isn't too bad and doesn't delay the final or worse has any lingering effects.

    The bookies bought the hype, and I bought their money.

    To be fair to Eubank. You can't teach heart and desire, so a trainer/coach has a lot to work with.

    Eubank Jr. Said he might have underestimated Groves a little. A world title fight, his first, and he underestimates the defending champ. Jesus christ...

    And his defense sucks, so it won't be long until his chin cracks.

    :lol: I got a strong feeling Fury was going to win during his ring walk, prior to that I was sure Wlad had it by KO.
