Can anyone in the UK tell me whos going to have more fan support?

I would say Groves but British fans turn out for any fight that has a chance of being a good scrap. I dont think they should go for larger than O2 though which is 21k, knowing the Eubanks they will think they can fill Wembley.

Certainly looking forward to it though.

Is there a racial element in the UK like there is in the USA? Seems to me they just get behind their guys no matter race

Personality and entertainment is all that matters in the UK. Naz, Bruno, Benn, McGuigan, Calzaghe, Froch etc etc, all massively popular. Nobody cares about colour/perceived race.

Not in the UK we do have problems with the Traveller fights though.

There is always going to be a tiny percentage of morons who think racially, but generally yeah we all get behind our guys whatever creed/race.

JR looks like a badly created waxwork of his dad, that was left in front of a spotlight for too long and has slightly melted.

It's come on a lot over the last 30 odd years. The 70's-80's here was more like America now. Hagler vs Minter is the classic example of that sorry era.

Believe it or not, The 90's rave scene helped massively. Before that it was mostly all white or black clubs, which i've never even seen in my lifetime.

The Stephen Lawrence case sickened the country. The police were accused of institutional racism and were forced to bring in real change.

It's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but in my experience you're more likely to experience tolerance from the average joe rather than not.

Groves has become more likable and humble recently. People generally found it a sweet victory when he finally succeeded in winning a title.

It’s odd Eubank has such a big following, he’s a grade A twat.

I don't find it that surprising. Mainly because most fans of his I know are a bit twattish themselves lol.

Groves has become more humble I agree but every so often he says something that reminds me what a d!ck he can be

As much as I hate Eubanks, Groves is getting KOed. And it will be his last fight.
