I'm going for Groves. It's hard to judge Eubank jr IMO. His performance against Yildrim drew praise, but Yildrim was as straight up & down basic as they come. No inside work, very little jab to set up attacks, bait or probe. No active guard, high guard constantly. No change of angles or distance, no change of speed on his punches so Eubank should have looked good.

Groves doesn't move as much as his younger days but sometimes that was wasted movement, he uses subtle moves/steps to adjust his range. He doesn't commit to the jab all the time, he draws leads and counters well. The right hand remains a weapon, & unlike Yildrim who just stayed on the inside & waited to be hit, Groves will at least hold or attempt to gain some kind of control on the inside.

Groves may have lost some hand speed but his timing will make up for that. Could be that Eubank jr is a superstar & breaks Groves spirit and stops him but I see Groves timing him often enough to keep him honest, maybe even buzz him or drop him on the way to a clear enough UD.

Not entirely sure on what I've seen from Eubank makes some think he'll walk though Groves but I guess I'll find out soon enough. Can't wait.
