    How do you see this fight panning out?

    I personally see Eubank outworking Groves for a later stoppage with a flurry of shots(with the referee jumping in)

    I think there's a chance of what your saying actually happening. Groves has peaked imo and looks jaded compared to the one who battled Froch. Eubank is fresh, strong and fit as anything and when Groves tires midway, Eubank can really come in to it. If he doesn't get caught with anything big off Groves in the first half I think he stops Groves as you say

    Tough fight but Eubanks is the real deal, and people really need to accept that! Eubank by late KO.

    Groves a few year ago was sharp bigtime. I think we have seen the best of him though now. He still has his power and has become more calculated over time but I think Jnr takes him. Groves of the Froch fights I would pick to beat Jnr

    He has a vacant look about him I think when interviewed Groves. Never like that a few year ago

    I read a couple of comments here about it not happening for some reason. I know there's 2 Brits here, so the chance on one pulling out is probably significant. But they're part of a tourney here, with a lot of prizemoney going around.
    Do you really see one pull out for some reason?

    That said, Groves by close but clear UD.

    This fight will make Eubank look incredible. I dont think Groves is the fighter he once was, his mental side has taken a absolute battering. I think Eubank outworks, outhustles Groves and the mental side will get the better of Groves when he realises its round 6 and this kid is not tiring at all and yet im starting too feel like an old man. Eubank will show off how granite his chin is and withstand some bombs early on. Eventually Groves will tire, his arms will start staying too low and i wouldnt be surprised if the referee jumps in to stop it, but if i was too place a bet, id say Eubank by Decision based on punch output and aggression..

    I think Groves could score a few Knockdowns in this fight.

    Eubanks feet are terrible especially when he attacks and is open to a good right hand. If groves uses his Jab correctly them Eubank is in for a very long night

    The fight is the next mandatory matchup in the tournament, neither side has much choice do they?
