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

I wouldn't classify Groves as a technical boxer, he's more a technical puncher as you stated in your other post.

Groves doesn't fight off the back foot, he's usually looking to press forward, standing in front of opponents and either leading or looking to slip and counter. When Groves is forced to move he's usually less effective as he isn't able to set to throw when constantly being pushed back.

But I agree Groves is likely the best fighter CEJ has fought to date and he will definitely get hit hard at some point with his aggressive style. This fight will come down to how CEJ deals with Groves power. If he can't handle it he's in serious trouble, if he can then Groves will struggle to keep Jr off him and will be pushed back and get ground down.

 

I will root heavily in favor of Groves!
