World Boxing Super Series Season 1 thread: 9/28 DAZN Groves vs Smith (WBA Super Middleweight Title)

[Scottie Drippin]

I watched live as Eubank got comprehensively styled on by Billy Jo Saunders so he still has a lot to prove in my eyes. Groves is a slick fighter. Eubank SHOULD get to him, but again, I thought the same about BJS

 

[Dushane Hill]

It's more of a test for Eubank than it is for Groves. GG more proven and gone against better opposition.

Both fighters got power, they've both ended careers. GG bigger and more powerful but he's not as quick.

Fight could pretty much go either way but I think Groves is the favourite. However If Eubank wins he's the real deal IMO

Either way it'll be a great fight.

Wild to me to see Groves listed as such a big favorite. I expected him to be based on his rep and facing better opposition over his career but he's looked shopworn and has been eating punishment against the weaker opposition he's faced as of late. If Chudinov was able to put hands on Groves, Eubanks can do the same and more. I don't see Groves dealing well with the pace and pressure over a full 12.

Groves is not favourite for the fight let alone a big favourite.

He's the under dog in the fight.

Groves will try to imply the Billy Saunders tactics against Eubank but i think Eubank got enough to win it.

Yea an article I was reading earlier from the Mirror had Groves listed as the favorite but its since changed.

Did Eubanks dnearly stop him like groves did? Froch got an iron chin but he's never been in as much trouble as he was with groves honestly. Broke Chudinov's jaw and put Gutneckt into intensive care. Young Chrostopher may have his father's chin but Spike O sullivan had im hurt bad in their fight though he was playing too much there and he's better now. He don't wanna take too many shots from Saint Groves and use all his tools.

if they had just done this from the start I wouldn't even have complained about no TV deal, I'm not going to be home during the fight so its even better to have a YouTube option

I don't know what froch is talking about....groves nearly ko'ed him in the first round...groves can punch too...and it won't do young Chris good to take shots from him willingly

 

[aceboon]

Don't agree with all the grading on the attributes but this is still pretty good

Eubank isn´t some defensive wizard but he ain´t no Mayorga either he´s not inviting shots to his head. His head movement improved actually over the last few fights, he sometimes overextends when he throws those hooks but he usually quickly gets back into position.

Groves´ boxing ability is being a little overrated in the build up I feel, which is normal in the buildup of a fight like this. He became a craftier boxer than he was before but I also feel he is less dynamic and mentally more fragile than he was before, often time even in his wins he looks uncomfortable in the ring and lately instead of distance keeping he backs up to the ropes too much. That flew against Chudinov or Cox but I´m not sure it will be a good idea against Eubank.

My official pick is Eubank mid-late TKO. I´m thinking about TKO in round 7-10

like i said before its jr's time to show and prove..groves has been in with enough good comp to know that hes not a pushover..meanwhile jr got outboxed by bjs..he is still a question mark
