    Was close to a shut out m8 and I think Groves never got out of second gear all night.

    He beat the best! George Groves was arguably Britain’s p4p number 1 before the fight.

    Eubank ruined Groves? lol thats some pure BS and just something to make Eubank Jnr fans feel better.

    The reality is Callum Smith was just much better than Eubank was vs Groves and did a job on Groves. The Eubank fight had nothing to do with it. Smith is just far more of an accomplished fighter than Eubank Jnr is.

    I know he’s ticked the boxes on the way up but would he be so successful without his freakish physical advantages? I see him getting KO’d badly some day...:)

    Meh. Groves looked utterly bolloxed after that fight and shipped some very heavy punishment.
    Calling it a schooling and comprehensive victory masks the reality that the fight took a heavy toll on Groves and, in a few people's opinion, cost Groves any chance of being ready for the final against C Smith.
    I'm not trying to degrade Smith's achievement but putting him on a pedestal for winning his 3 WBSS fights ain't happening either.
    If Eubank Jr was 2-1 for a fight against Smith I'd take it.
    Edit: I meant 200%......

    A message from Callum,
    He'd like us to thank,
    @lencoreastside
    For the nickname of 'Plank'
    For they're usually strong,
    If they're made of good wood,
    And strong's a good thing,
    If a Boxer is good,
    Now he's number one,
    And the plank they all fear,
    And the belt that he won,
    Makes a lovely veneer,

    The Plank is going to fight nobodies for next 2 years.

    They will avoid the top champs at 168 and wait for GGG or Canelo to make the jump.

    You heard it here first. Tesco Joe wont allow him to lose his belt so quickly. THey both need to get paid and being champ they get paid well.

    Everyone is a nobody when you’re the man. Just ask Joshua.

    Ha ha, yeah I meant 200% profit on a bet.
    I think evens on a CEJ fight is still acceptable, but I wouldn't do it.

    What i meant his fights will be the most rubbish people he can get away with. Not like AJ has been fighting. Lets be honest no way they will risk him against a killer so soon.

    @168 Smith is the killer,

    Please name me some fighers he will be running from?

    Gilberto Ramirez is his biggest test imo, Uzcategui and Benavidez would get hidings.

    Uzcategui isnt even very good imo, ffs Rocky from stocky would probably beat him lol. Must be the most overrated bloke going around. Caleb Plant will 12-0 him. Hopefully Young Christopher gets a chance to wipe him out first.

    Benavidez still hasn't developed man strength, he could be the goods one day. He has a lot to learn

    Spiffing!
    Your odious tones are, however, misplaced. One cannot simply judge Young Christopher by the usual metrics of the noble art, he is a enigmatic, prime stallion and will be victorious as and when he chooses.
