Comments Thread For: Groves Unsure if Eubank Jr. Will Get Past Yildirim in WBSS

[RuslanChagaev]

No one speaks about Rob Brant so, what about Brant? is he skillful? If he not, i think Callum Smith has easy way!

Crolla essentially walked down that Barroso lad.

I think Eubank Jr can hit a bit not buying that he's a non-puncher.

jackblack008 - It does mate, but your right in the sense of not as much,,,recent examples would be both froch/groves fights and even more recent would be spence/brook. Also when Charlo was getting out boxed bad against John Jackson only to have the tenacity and durability to eat his punches and eventually get to him.

It still happens it's just not many fighters have that gift.

Same, i remember an interview on IFLtv with degale talking about when he sparred yildrim, saying how tough he was.

I completely agree about being shocked they chose him,,,like i said earlier that could bite them hard when they fight, if Eubank can't hurt yildrim, he will continue to pressure and walk him down...should be a cracking fight though

"Walk him down" is a myth. it does not happen anymore. Ask Kovalev

[SugarRayCurtain]

I believe Eubanks biggest threat is not George Groves, but Callum Smith
His size, height and power are dangerous so Eubank needs to be very cautious if they ever fight

Yeah I actually think he'll have a tougher night against yildrim than he will with groves. I'm very shocked they chose him as the opponent

Seconded, he'll be way too big for Eubank jr if they meet, tbf i think he'll be too big for most people in that division, plus he's a really good fighter with a good inside game, good counter punching and good power.

Plus I don't think people realise how tough a fight yildrim is for Eubank that's a tough tough fight for a opening fight, I can't really call how that one goes.
