Snr the best promoter in the world? I ask as he got most people including dozans of respected boxing figures thinking his son would destroy Groves. This is unbelievable hype that these experienced boxing people bought into when they are trained in the sport and his views blinded thrir vision. Lets face it before this fight it was clear Eubank Jnr only had the engine to fight in bursts but people started believing he had the best engine in the game. Hes showed throughout his career he lacks power and suddenly he was a killer. Yes always had bad footwork and bad Ring IQ but suddenly Snr got people believing his son was the next all time great. Has anyone seen a fighter ever be promoted as being so great when there anything but nd lack so many boxing fundamentals ?
He is a good promoter. And he was class last night after the fight. Watch the post fight presser. He tells Junior that he lost the fight when Junior stated that he thought he nicked it in the later rounds. And then Junior said he'll rewatch the fight to give an informed opinion. No excuses from Sr and congratulated Groves for a perfect game plan. A lot of the pre fight talk is just promotion and Sr is a master in the art of promotion.
he was saying Jr would beat GGG years ago yet they failed to sign up for the fight .... sometimes if you say something enough times people start to believe it..it becomes a fact! He has no chance of a strap at 160 or 168 lb
