Comments Thread For: Groves: Eubank Not Good Enough, His Very Best Can't Beat Me!

[Ham Porter]

Although Groves isn't the world beater he thinks he is, Eubank has showed nothing since Saunders to suggest he can cope with a decent boxer who moves he's head and has counterpunching skills. I've never seem such a fuss as the one being made by Chris beating a completely unskilled opponent as he did last time out. Even when he lost to Saunders the press were going on about how well he did in the last few rounds. In fact, he was supposed to win in 5 rounds and be the future of UK boxing. He got he's ears boxed off.

Saunders won by virtue of being a little more seasoned and experienced. He was in survival mode through the second half of the fight and Eubank Jr is undoubtedly a better version of what he was three years.

Well that's the part I'm not sure about. Eubank hasn't fought anyone who is skilled as a boxer or who has any head movement. I watched that fight again and even during he's late surge Eubank was very inaccurate. But how can we know hes improved on the type of guys he's fought, all static non boxers? I don't think Groves is great but he's decently skilled, outside of Saunders who can we say that about who Eubank has faced?

euank by the narrowest margin, 5/6 whilst groves is evens. so basically 50/50. for the record i think groves will beat him quite handily

Thank you. I'm slightly leaning towards Groves but I'm thinking of playing the rounds instead of a winner.

I dunno, these boxing hooligans I guess. Didn't even know it was such an issue

My mistake sorry, I thought you were suggesting crowd violence was a British based problem. We have a well deserved poor reputation at football and wasn't sure how we were perceived globally in boxing.
