    Assuming Groves dispatches Jamie Cox next weekend, how do you see the semi-final turning out? Eubank's win tonight, as impressive as it was, doesn't change my view that George beats him.

    CEJ gets KO'd in similar fashion to what he did to Yildirim today, Groves will time one of his lunges to perfection, and out will go the lights.:sleeping:

    Martin Murray said Groves hits harder than GGG by a fair amount so it should be a good test. Groves won't just walk aimlessly forward, he's more similar to BJS so will give him problems. Assuming Cox gets beaten anyway...

    Jr has the best chin in the business, an upgraded version of his old man

    I hope Groves dispatches Cox as good as Jr did today. I don't want any excuses.

    I'm tired of entertaining fantasy match ups, will wait until next week but I have always felt Groves will be having an asthma attack and will be in panic mode mid way through this match up.

    We saw tonight that Jr is a true 168lber just like Golovkin is. Groves won't have much of a size difference @ all. Jr is 180+ forget the smoke and mirrors he looked miles bigger than the weigh in.

    Jr wins, groves will break down in the second half like the Froch fight.

    Groves can hit as hard as he wants but jr will take it and ware him out

    IMO Groves will jab and outboxes UD victory. feints, distance control, traps and ko power will erase Eubank jr strengths and his rythm.

    Groves will probably slows down a bit in the second half of the fight but not that much - he did good against Padou Jack and Murray.

    I rate both fighters but styles makes fights and Groves attributes works well against volume punchers.

    Man Cox is a cutie no homo but Groves is going to KO him cold.

    No question his dad had a good chin.

    But haven't seen Eubank's chin tested yet. Definitely wasn't tested against BJS and can't remember anyone else catching him so cleanly where I thought "wow, how'd he survive that?".

    Not always even genetic either, I mean look at the difference between Vitali's chin and his sister Wlad.

    What are you trying to say?
    You think Jr doesn't have the best chin in the business?

    I don't know. No one has pressured him yet.

    Based on absolutely no evidence, I suspect he has got a good chin, but that's just a gut feeling, and that can always turn out to be wrong.
