    I just fan not split the 2 when you weigh up the pros and cons of each its so difficult, which I suppose makes this a great fight... Of all the exciting fights (British) this excites me the most!

    My prediction is points but controversy and split decision

    He was in camp for the Abraham fight, he was the only guy that had to fight to get in to the tournament

    Still not 100% convinced it goes ahead , i'm more likely to predict a Eubank injury ,, BUT if it does , a good big en ,will always beat a good little en.

    groves makes better noises when he hits pads so I think he will win.

    Nope. If it's a draw then a fourth judge hands in a scorecard to try and determine who goes through. If it's still a draw after that then they go by who won the 12th. If that was even then the 11th, then 10th etc.

    Groves all day long. Too big, too accurate and hits way too hard. Either keeps Jnr on the end of his ramrod jab all night long and wins a shutout with Eubank's face looking puffy, or stops him to the body late on. Wouldn't even be surprised if he wiped him out early. Either way, Eubank doesn't win this.

    Keep changing my mind. Groves if he can box wins. If he has to fight at Eubanks pace he gets beat.

    Groves has more power, more experience, he's the bigger guy but I've just voted a late Eubank stoppage...
    The styles mesh so well, Eubank is fit as hell and if he can keep Groves under pressure and working without having to take a breather himself he could well find himself winning. Groves has been in a lot of hard fights thought. We haven't seen Eubank really have to dig deep yet.

    Ive changed my mind again - everything on paper points to a GG win. For some reason I just think Eubank who is a bit fresher and will come forward and try ripping into GG might just have the style to win

    In the pre fight vid, gg states that hes seen a lot of flaws in jnrs game and he (gg) will be looking to capatilise on this.
    Everyone has a plan until they get hit and all that but gg does seem very confident.

    If Groves somehow manages to KTFO Eubank I hope the camera switches immediately to a close-up of Snr's face.

    Groves on pts. Remember how Eubank performed against BJS - another boxer whereas Eubank is a fighter- Groves needs to use his jab and not stand still, stamina could be a problem though- here's a promo

    That pretty much summarises the "mainstream" view mark. The "alternative " view is that jr's superior athleticism wins the day , his relentless workrate and output overcomes the bigger man....etc etc

    The closer it gets, the more confident I am of Eubank getting snoozed zzzz.

    Usually, as the fight looms the more nervous I am about predictions but not this one.
