His old fella is one of my favourite boxers ever, a brilliantly arrogant bellend, so i’m saying Eubank late in this one, that’s probably more what I hope than think though.

Should be a belting fight

Groves in 5 if not Eubank takes it in the latter stages.

Groves owned him, outboxed him throughout. last 30 seconds looked dodgy though

Senior was telling him right from the 1st round to get in closer and Junior ignored until the final rounds. 

Could have been different if if he didn’t ignore those instructions

Senior said before that fight he was that talented he didn’t need a trainer. That’s exactly what cost him tonight, he had absolutely no game plan.

This was my thinking. Eubanks should have taken him late on. Groves is the more complete boxer though. More to come from Eubanks Jr but he must learn to listen to his corner and listen to what the ones who've been there are saying to him. If he does that he can become a complete boxer. I contrast Eubanks Jr/Sr with Schmeichel Jr/Sr. They both do so many traits as their fathers. Eubanks Jr can be awesome if he's prepared to learn from those around him.  It was Groves to lose tbf, but a decent fight.

Did Groves put his shoulder out?
