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
people often forget some important factors about the BJS fight though :manny:

First that Eubank improved since a lot
Second that when he started to push BJS and threw the previous not working game plan out the window he won every of the remaining rounds, if he steps on the gas just a round earlier we might wouldn´t talk about a loss here

I get what you are saying though, yes Groves is more experienced but we can´t pick based on that always. Fighters have to "start winning" at a time.
Just like with Brook vs Spence, Brook was more experienced but I still picked Spence because other factors to win.

I guess you left off a 1, 2 or 3 before that 2
I looked 12:38, 22:38, 32:38 he didn´t look hurt to me on any of those
19:38. I doubt he gets caught with that again but Groves can hurt him is what I mean. And Groves should use bodywork to slow him down. Its a 50/50 fight imo Groves is no joke

@HeruDat does Eubanks go back to 160 after this tournament? Lots of big fights for him there including the BJS one.... unless Degale regains his belt

Yeah I think so. He's not a 168 but I think DeGale could be the easiest fight to make.
nah I don´t think he goes back except if a super fight coming up

he will stick around

Groves is not the biggest smw but the hardest opponent in smw for Eubank style wise and probably quality wise too. Eubank does better against fighters who come at him, if he can handle Groves he did the bulk of the job. He would beat Zurdo, Benavidez and Smith easier imo all of them would try to walk him down building on their size only to get stopped on their tracks
