George Groves vs Chris Eubank Jr WBSS Semifinal set for february 17 in the Manchester Arena

Junior will also win the tourney. Smith is good but the way Eubank has been improving in each an every fight I think he will surpass his father

 

I agree mate, its why I said momentarily, his legs jolted a bit, but Spike is more like a LMW and GG is more like a LHW

 

I can't believe how many people are so deluded to actually think Jr can beat Groves. St George is going to take Eubanks Jr to school. Jr has never fought anyone on a level approaching Groves a seasoned technical boxer puncher. I hope he has a very good hin as he is going to need it to last to the final bell.

 

The kids getting better and better with each fight, whilst I agree with you st George is easily jnrs toughest fight to date , can’t help but feel that the kid is special, maybe better than his old man, it is what makes this the sport we love you think groves , I think jnr, it’s gonna be a barnstormer for sure.

 

Jr may be getting better but his opponents since his defeat to Billy Joe Saunders a fight he should have been able to win have not prepared him for a guy like Groves. Put Jr in with a guy who comes forward direct at him like Yildirim and faded Arthur Abraham he looks the business. There is a reason why they are not putting him in with technical boxers. You will notice Sr has been very quiet and it's because he is worried about Groves. Look I like Jr but have to be honest I don't like Groves at all for him. Groves is a much better boxer, puncher and has superior technical skills and fought and beat better fighters. Like I said I hope JR has a great chin because he is going hit very hard and a lot in this fight. Jr will start of paying attention to his defense but his true instincts of recklessness will take over and it will be good night Irene.

 

I didn't think much of Jr. after the BJS fight. I underrated him. I think he proved himself at the top 5-10 level, he's not domestic level as I said he was.

So vs. Groves, I really can't decide. Groves has the bigger experience, is the more proven fighter. We also know about his vulnerabilities and his weakness to fight in spurts. To me this is a real pick 'em, it should be a really exciting fight because both men leave nothing in the ring. One of them will go out on his shield, can't wait to see this!

 

He is probably overrated based off of what I've seen, he's far from being a complete fighter and a long way off from living up to the Eubank name, but comparing him to Broner is frickin laughable. Broner was never any good, I said it before he was exposed, I saw the huge flaws in his game back then and they dwarf Eubank Jr's shortcomings as a fighter.

Jr has flaws. He has no right hand for a start, it's all left hooks and uppercuts. He really needs to learn to throw a straight right hand properly, he loops it horribly. He also squares up way too often and I don't believe he's fixed his issue with head position when in close. If you watch the Saunders fight he is always pushed back because BJS puts his head in his throat and is able to force him back because of this. Even now Jr just rests his head on his opponents shoulder like they are slow dancing, he needs to learn about head control in the clinch if he is ever to rematch BJS or face any good inside fighter, because if he doesn't he'll get pushed back all the time.

 

It's been said many times now, he can't throw the straight right because he has hyper-extension problems with his elbow which is why he throws more short punches, hooks etc..

 

I actually didn't know that. That explains a lot, with his movement and defence he would be a far more effective out boxer than the fighter he is currently. But I guess without the ability to throw a straight right he has had to alter how he fights.

 

We will see , think like a few you are gonna be surprised, the Billy Joe Saunders fight was terrible instruction from the corner, I think daddy had to much input , but from round 6 Eubank won every round, it’s just a shame he didn’t start fighting until said round.

 

According most here Jr isn't very good at all so I struggle to see how he is overrated?

George Groves is a great champion and has always put up a great fight win or lose. Groves also has all the stylistic advantages you can imagine so is really a nightmare fight.

If Groves can't beat Jr than nobody will @ 160 or 168
