Now now cst...I seem to remember you predicting Eubank would be left face down and limp on the canvass? Hmmmmm?

I predicted a win, one way or another. I don't give a **** how, someone asked my advice on the fight on Kirk's thread, this is as close to spot on as you can get.

Same here. Eubank is not a natural Super Middleweight, people seem to miss all of his glaring flaws, he leaves himself way too open to counters, he's not nearly as active as most people seem to think, he's actually quite conservative, and risk adverse. He ambushes lands like 30 punches, and then goes on the backfoot and prowls the ring pretending like his a lion hunting his prey, rinse and repeatx12, and like I've said countless times, who has Eubank beaten that's as skilled as George Groves? No one.

His one loss is to a poorly conditioned half assed version of what Saunders is now, and even that version of Billy Joe beat him with relative ease. The one time he's shared the ring against a skilled fighter he lost. Oh boy, he beat Dmitry Chudinov, Nick Blackwell, Gary O'Sullivan and Renold Quinlan...... so? Mock just beat Chudinov, quite frankly Atejovic had his moments, Dmitry is fairly featherfisted, and he had to foul him incessantly to get the win, the performance from Jr. was deplorable. Spike rocked him a few times, and had a freak injury, Quinlon is a bum that lucked out against a shot to absolute crap Geale. Then we come to AA, good for him, he beat a shell of Abraham, so did Stieglitz, Paul Smith, De Carolis and Murray came close, and Ramirez shut him out a year before. Yildirim was an unproven commodity, with a glass jaw. And guess what, not a one of them brought anything representing a genuine skillset into the equation. All of them played into Eubank's counter punching wheelhouse. Groves does not, at all. Groves will dominant Eubank if he doesn't gas, and because I think Groves' power will give him second thoughts about just leaping in with a flurry, he'll be apprehensive enough to not push the pace the way people think he will. You flurry like a Wildman on Groves, you'll get countered and KO'd, you fight tentatively and timid, looking for the counter, Groves takes his time and UD's you.

Groves has lost to Frochx2 and Jack, both of whom would utterly demolish Eubank Jr. that is the reality, no ifs ands or buts about it. Anyone who would pick Eubank over Jack and Froch, need their heads examined.

A lot of people giving Groves too much credit. Groves is a sucker for that right hand, and Eubank will land it.
I see Eubank getting Groves out of position and out of balance, which will make way for those flashy combos and the right hand.
Eubank by KO in 8.

It took Groves dislocating his left arm for Eubank to be able to start landing that right.

Oh boy!!!! Casuals on Parade. Eubank scores one highlight reel KO (not really) and all his past long drawn out mind numbing accumulation stoppages and distance fights have been magically forgotten. Which skilled boxer has CEJ fought since BJS? Not a one, everyone he's faced play to his strengths, Groves does not.

Good calls my man, if only you’d stop hating on the jack attack then we’d find ourselves in agreement on nearly every fight

Well I am rooting for him to KO Stevenson if that counts for anything.

Groves feinted the **** out of Eubank. ****er had no idea what to do...
Completely controlled Eubank.
It was painful to watch. (And also quite beautiful. Boxing at its finest)

Is Eubanks still considered the better athlete? Groves was quicker, more powerful, and had better stamina. Guess someone should explain to me how Eubanks is better at anything.
