WBSS super-middleweight competition update - Groves vs Eubank Jr set

Interesting.

 

So Yildrim has a home advantage

 

There should be, CEJ is a bigger draw than AJ according to Senior.

 

Yildirim lives in Turkey.

 

I'm liking the WBC's committment to the WBSS. Not that I care about their diamond belts or think their rankings should rule boxing, but maybe they could mandate that any WBC champion has to fight in the WBSS tourneys, and guaranteeing titlists in the tournies would be great.

 

Any broadcaster confirmed yet? Some of these fights may not be shown in the UK. Its possible that none of them will.

 

Germany is turkeys territory at this point, I was making a joke.

 

Oh okay

 

Jr is also the biggest star in Germany and he hasn't fought there yet lol!

People have to remember Germany is a huge boxing market too, WBSS can be a huge success off the German buzz alone, especially with Jr headlining. Will be good to see Jr vs Groves in Germany too.

UK can keep their AJ and be happy, Jr and Groves are international stars now and have outgrown UK market.

GGG lived in Germany for 10 years and his twin brother was more well known lol, he couldn't sell out his living room.

Jr vs Yildirim is a stadium fight in Germany!!!!

 

Wah wah GGG wah wah wah

 

That's interesting.
If you ask me, Groves and Smith would have decimated Yildi just as easily.

 

I always had Jr as my favourite, but I doubt Groves/Smith beat Avni easy. Styles make fights, Jr is comfortable with guys on his chest, Groves and Smith like to fight long. Yildirim would be making them uncomfortable.

Smith struggled badly with Skoglund, pre tournament he was considered an easy opponent for him and tailor made.

Yildirim did better than Skoglund with their common opponent ancient Glen Johnson, a lot of people think Skoglund should have lost to him.
