There i said it..the guy has improved more than i thought he would, but hes Euro level and nothing more.
His Footwork is terrible, no defence, dreadful head movement. Even against this Turkish guy, who is C level at bes, he was getting clocked and showed not high punch output until he landed.
His win over Abraham, was a good win ill give him that, but we all Know Abrahams limitations. but i feel assuming Groves is even 70% of the fighter that fought Froch, then i expect a easy points win.
I will give Eubank jnr this, i think he has a good chin like his father, but other than that hes technically awful.
If he somehow lucks out against Groves i expect the Callum Smith to Body shot him to Death.
Cannot believe the numpties on here fall for this guys hype???/
In Professional boxing everyone is trash until they beat a top quality fighter.
Otherwise they are just hype.
I respectfully disagree, bro. Even journey fighters deserve credit. It takes heart, skill and years tp enter a ring in the pros.
but is he trash? Not by a long shot. People need to choose their words carefully.

I agree 100% - ATM its just all hype.
The actual FACTS are;
He has not beaten a single prime top 5 MW or SMW
He is does not carry serious KO power
He has limited defense and footwork
On the plus side he has the 'Warriors Code'
The whole Eubank setup depends on the intimidation factor, that is why his father is ALWAYS telling anyone who sticks a mic in his face that Junior is and 'Animal' etc.
If he loses against Groves, he will be exposed as the limited boxer he really is. If he wins, then we just have more of the twitter BS to put up with for a few years until his father spends all his money and goes bankrupt...for the third time.

Great post.
We will see whos correct. But ill state my claim. He will get destroyed with his dreadful footwork,Average power and terrible punch output.
As i said before,The plebs on this thread will be private messaging me, apologising to me and begging me for further correct predictions. The only time im wrong in predictions is robberies i.e Kovalev schooling Ward.
Problem is, despite being schooled ,Ward is levels above eubanl Jnr. And groves, degale and smith will all prove this.
We will up this thread come semis/or finals.
Haha you ****ing idiot, the amount of **** predictions, innacurare threads you have made down the years....
lol at saying Kell brook is better in every category, Kell Brook doesnt even know how to fight on the inside where Eubank is clearly a beast on the inside
People saying he has terrible defence but it took a world level southpaw in BJS (whos very slick) to land anything substantial on him, and lets be honest he scraped a decision against a very Green Eubank. Furthermore its not like BJS even landed that much, a left hand and right hook here and there, enough to win him the early rounds but never hurt Eubank in the slightest.
Eubank is hitting his prime and at this point in Groves career hes in serious trouble, he wont be able to keep Eubank off of him.
If it wasn't for ITV he'd have to resort to being a road warrior, Glen Johnson style, to even get fights. The only criticism I have is them lauding the IBO title as having any meaning.
Yeah, IBO belt is a joke but the ITV deal was a brilliant move on their part. Remember classic ITV boxing:
If Eubank throws with the bad intentions at Groves like he did at the Turk. It will be an entertaining prize-fight to see. I am not sold yet that Groves is on a level above Eubank.
I think he will knock out Groves with skill, speed and power and luck will have nothing to do with it. You make Euro level sound bad. Loma, GGG, Kovalev and AJ are European and Eastern European so it's a good level to be. Eubank will be very hard to beat by any 168 pound boxer from any part of the world in my opinion.
If he somehow lucks out against Groves i expect the Callum Smith to Body shot him to Death.
Cannot believe the numpties on here fall for this guys hype???/
LOL Really??? Callum Smith will beat him if Groves doesn't? Did you even see Smith's last fight?
Cannot believe the numpties on here fall for Smith's hype???
agreed. and the thing is every chin can be cracked. eubank jrs got a great chin but so did froch and groves showed he could badly hurt him. eubanks going to get hit and hit hard. He can get away walking into shots from these stiffs, but not world class fighters with world class power. I think groves is the level above him. I also cant believe the hype hes starting to get cause hes beat quinlan, shot to **** abraham and yildirim. Impression i get on here is hes now dead set to win the tournament cause he beat a bum whos fought noone of note. Yildirim being undefeated doesnt mean ****.
Great post.

Zurdo would beat the breaks of that guy.
Hard to tell yet, against Abraham I thought Ramirez was the future he boxed beautifully but never capitalized on the momentum, as I've now I'll have to give the edge to Eubank, they both fight on the inside which favors Eubank cause Ramirez doesn't have much power, but it's still a good fight
He just knocked out the Rambo of the division and the other guys who chose not to fight but yet he's trash?
It will take a nasty punch or someone who fights exclusively off the backfoot to beat Junior!
Only guy who uses lots of movement is Degale while the others just basically sit there and pose to find an open shot!
Junior is gonna overwhelm Groves with shots till Groves throws a haymaker and then gets caught in the exchange like Yildirim did and get dropped!
Who else at 168 has the talent, hand speed, stamina, foot speed, angles, and combinations that Junior has?
Closest is maybe Benadivez or Zurdo but both are more wide open that Junior is!

He's no worst than caveman Froch and we saw what he did to Groves.
Chris i a good, explosive boxer. He's far from being trash. I expect him and Callum to be the last two standing in the finals.
May the better boxer win.
I think his power is decent when he puts more into his shots. I think in the past he's looked flashy with his flurries without really sitting down on them. He just KO'd an undefeated guy in 3 rounds that some people rated. He put Blackwell in a coma, and put a beating on Dmitrii Chudinov and some other guys.
I don't think he's a huge puncher, but i think it's a myth that he's not a puncher either. Nobody is trying to walk through him. The only guy he's failed to stop in his last 8 fights was Abraham and plenty of big punchers have barely put a dent in Abraham before.
He has a good KO% but always took a lot of of rounds and a lot of clean punches to get those stoppages. Against world class opponents he wouldn't land as many clean shots as he did on Blackwell .. but he didn't need to with Yilderim. That surprised and impressed me.
