    My favourite part was when Jr realised he had absolutely no answer to the Groves jab, so he went for the head down, charging bull tactic. It's the equivalent of being soundly thrashed on a computer game and then you start to mash all the buttons in wild hope..

    Groves was the better fighter on the night but the fight showed they're on the same level or thereabouts. I just didn't see this schooling some saw.

    Groves will still be exposed when he takes another step up.

    Think Junior probably has been hyped up too much but Georgie looked average in there, never looked like stopping his opponent, got caught a few times.

    Two average fighters tbh.

    Present day BJS would deliver a genuine schooling to both fighters.

    i am talking about just charging in at waist level. What Ward did in the second half of his first fight with Kovalev.

    Oh Eubank Jr was very much himself during the fight. He just ran into a better boxer. Plain and simple. His pops knows all about that after having shared the ring with the 168 GOAT Calzaghe.

    Fighting George Groves is completely different to fighting Lemieux.

    Groves has height, reach, weight, power, good jab, good right hand, is a good mover, a smart boxer, good counter puncher, is strong on the inside. He gives Saunders real problems.

    no, he outthought phd grad wlad. Sports science study isnt all that.

    wlad got lucky in that brewster ruined his eye for the rematch though, so that wlad could beat up the now helpless, retired brewster without fear of getting koed.

    Without brewster needing eye surgery and retirement, wlad would have yet another "unavenged" loss.

    yeh i'm agenda driven that you dont notice wlad getting beaten by middlers serially.

    needs an agenda to get you to realise it. need a frekin fatwas, a bomb in your breakfast for you to cotton on.

    he lost what? six out of about seventy fights? that is hardly serially. as for you saying brewster somehow had that fight planned, you are an imbecile.

    you seem to be taking it hard and personally that middler brewster saw wlads weakness and exploited it.

    As you've pointed out, he had 60+ other wins - so take your own advice, cherish those 60+ wins and stop reacting personally to his serial losses to middlers.
