Groves vs. Smith weigh-in

How do you see his one playing out, Butt?

 

Good analysis I agree with your potential outcomes provided Groves’ shoulder holds up. First round will tell us a lot about the condition of the shoulder.

 

I think JB would have upset Smith had he not bitched out of this thing. Groves 116-112 - 117-111 type of decision. Possibly wider.

 

Do you foresee Groves being in any danger at any point? Eubank seems far more athletic/explosive and likely to swing the tide of a fight with a wild shot, and Groves comfortably navigated around that for 12 rounds. I think Groves would really have to **** the bed to implode from the pressure Smith is going to bring.

 

I think Groves shouldn't have much issue as long as his body holds up. Smith has looked incredibly pedestrian past a certain level. He needed a late knockdown to really separate himself from Skoglund and at times in that fight he was being completely outboxed by the Swede. He dropped rounds and went the distance with a short notice kickboxer who everyone expected to be destroyed. Even unhealthy Groves might have enough craft and tricks to eek out a win.

 

It's available at +175, Groves decision that is.... Maybe have a punt on that and protect your ass with a 50 dollar bet on Smith to win ITD at +350?

 

Groves all the way! Quite confident that he takes this.

 

Callum is more basic but has better physical attributes and an ok long range jab 1-2 game to fall back on if he cant blast his man out. Eubank for all of his athletic ability is a pretty stupid fighter who hasn't evolved at all in the last couple of years. He can slug it out with most guys and overwhelm them with his volume but never has a plan b, not even something as basic as Smiths.
