Comments Thread For: Groves Aims To Make Statement, Send Message To Eubank Jr.

Eurobums hold more world title belts than any other single country. What does that bum mean? Does it mean every euro bum won on a fluke or robbery of some kind?

Eubank is just all wrong for groves. Can counterpunch well and has shown a good chin. Plus when Groves starts to tire, Eubank will pour it on.

Can only see a Eubank stoppage, I hope Chris get sparked though.

Despite Eubanks impressive KO at weekend I still regard groves as the puncher in this fight.

I also don't expect him to walk into mid range and exchange combos giving eubank the opportunity to counter. The onus isn't on George to come forward, he has much the better jab and I think he will let eubank come onto him and box behind the jab. The only opponent who didn't box at the range eubank was comfortable with gave him an L.

I don't see Chris as a come forward pressure fighter, which are the type of fighter George seems to flag against, suggesting his stamina problems are due to the mental pressure of fighting at a pace/range he doesn't want to. If he can keep him at the end of his jab and fight in his comfort zone I can see a fairly comprehensive points win for groves.
