Most skilled fighter he's faced since BJS. Abraham and Yildrim good but expected wins against a certain type of fighter like others have said, and none of them close to Groves' level. Groves' jab, timing, body work and natural size/strength advantage for me will decide it. But them lingering question marks over his engine! If CEJ takes him to deep waters it'll be his fight
You have both statements completely backwards. Cej tko's gg easy, saying this gg ain't a bad fighter. Too weak in the chin once his stamina dips after 5,6 rounds to ever dream of having any chance what so ever vs cej. I'll be honest, it's going to end up being a mismatch. How some can't grasp there's certain match ups that have a single possible outcome. This is one of the way too obvious fights with only 1 outcome that's even possible.
Bro, you literally can't keep your heart out of your thrown out ridiculous options. Cej is simply on a higher level than groves, talent wise. Never mind gg is a 5,6 round fighter, after 6 he's a dead man walking. Those are the facts
Well said. This fight is so easy to read. I wish I wasn't skint or I would have made truck loads on Eubank to win this tournament from the beginning. I hope the bookmakers are still harsh on young Christopher. StaminaKills & Galvatron (or Gannicus - not sure) say some bold things for many people, but a lot of the times they are just saying what your eyes are telling you. Eubank is incredible. I refuse to believe that people can't see it. You's don't want to believe it. It's ok.....come to the dark side.
It's groves size, jab and right cross versus Eubanks work rate, engine, athleticism and blazing combos. If jr can deal with the groves jab....take away groves main weapon...then jr can win. Jr has prob more strengths than groves overall. Size, jab and one shot power lie with groves. All the rest prob lie with Eubank. Great fight.
I never thought he had even that. CEJ looks to have a sturdy beard that appears stronger than any Spike has cracked!
You were right. Cej does have a good chin....prob inherited from his old man. Spike is just a limited slugger. He can punch a bit but CEJ is in a totally different league. It's all about levels as they say....
People mentioning Abraham as a `Top Fighter` who Eubanks beaten, I still stand by Paul Smith beat him in that first encounter, says it all about how past it Abraham is.
So, wait? You're telling me that after I hyped a bunch of people who had little to no chance at beating CEJ, because I had my fingers crossed hoping for a robbery or a lucky punch, that I'm going to freak out and jump ship just when he's going to face someone who's stylistically very unfavorable to him and can actually beat him? Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
I I'm not sure it's going to be as cut and dried as we first thought. At the relate cej is improving these days he ...might....be able to find other ways to win besides simply out working and outlasting Groves. Would it really be all that shocking if he was able to outbox Groves from the start? I wouldn't rule it out.
