    He just puts more wrap around the knuckles and less around the wrist.

    Everybody has to use the standard amount of wrap

    Seen Jr do this before, I actually think it might take some pop off his punches

    He would be better off getting someone else to do it, it can't be a good thing IMO

    It's the most padding I've ever seen covering knuckles. It has to reduce his power, no two ways about it.

    Prince Naseem has certainly enjoyed his retirement.

    Unless Eubank gets the KO, this is Groves to lose. And I say that as someone who backed Eubank.

    This is grim from Eubank.

    It was a done deal by round 8. Never been happier to be wrong about a fight. Well done Groves, a deserved win for a fighter who's had the short end of the stick far too often.

    Anyone who has watched Eubank knew he couldn't cope with a proper boxer like Groves. They got all excited at him pummelling some Turkish taxi driver.

    Disappointing from Eubank, but full credit to Groves. He dictated the fight & played it out how he wanted it.

    Levels apart, couldn't see scorecards, joke Groves won around 10 rounds ! Should have had two knockdowns
