Comments Thread For: Groves-Eubank WBSS Semifinal Set for February 17 in Manchester

Whaaaaaaaaat?

What has either guy actually done? Nothing.

James Degale is the CLEAR Number 1 Super Middleweight.

Really???? Cause I thought Jack beat him 116-110, Medina beat him 116-112, Bute fight should've been 114-114, and he only won 5 rounds in the Dirrell fight but should have been 113-113 because of the knockdowns, so he's never really impressed at world level, and he was beat by Groves

Goddamn that's still a long time

Good Domestic Fight but lets not get carried away.

Groves isn't a Top 5 Super Middleweight.

Eubank Jr isn't a Top 10 Super Middleweight.

Neither Guy is any thing special and have failed at the highest level, multiple times in Groves case.

Eubank Jr has run away from every challenge presented with whether it was BJS Rematch or GGG.

What garbage. As if Warren would agree to a Eubank rematch. Eubank doesn’t walk around fat nor needs to drain to make 160. Eubank’s physique is super slim. GGg or BJs gotta see him northbound. If Eubank wins the WBSS the UK will hone in on it and deGale can’t pretend but acknowledge that fight. Besides DeGale lost to Groves, he has to see Eubank.

If Loeffler is up to the task until then without Hearn in the mix, Lil’G gotta see Eubank at 169 as well.

BJS is easy work come the rematch. As if their last bout wasn’t close or Eubank couldn’t handle his power like the way Andy Lee did...

Don't think either Jack or BJS losses were all that close personally speaking.

Let's be real though, neither has beaten a Top 10 Middleweight or Super Middleweight in their careers.

How can Eubank Jr be Boxrec Number 1 Super Middleweight when he's never beaten a Top 10 Middleweight or Super Middleweight in his career let alone held a World Title...Complete lunacy!

I could think of 5 Current Supermiddles who i would have no hesitation in picking over either Groves or Eubank:

Gilberto Ramirez
James Degale
Anthony Dirrell
David Benvenidez
Andre Dirrell

Until Groves or Eubank beats one of these guys, they are definitely not Top 5 guys although might just sc**** into Top 10 because as you say, Super Middleweight division very weak at moment.

How are Benavidez and The Dirrell Brothers "definitely" above Eubank Jr and Groves? Benavidez only has 1 legit win and The Dirrell brothers have been struggling big time lately

Triple DDD is the UK's second most talked about Boxer according to current internet Traffic statistics.

Also Groves is only popular because of Froch fight controversy and Eubank Jr because of his father.

Triple DDD has achieved his popularity in only 5 fights and 8 months of being a Pro without getting it from another boxers fame or a famous father!

He may be talked about but he ain't no draw or ticket seller yet. He's not in the same league as these guys, he ain't even topped a bill yet.
Could be a draw in the future though..

This could be a career ender for Groves, if his defense is off he's done, Jr will upper cut the life outta him

Not all about levels and rankings of fighters when gauging matchups. Styles make fights and Groves-Eubank will make for an action packed fight.

Ranking Defail above Groves..... ******ed. Groves has beaten him twice ffs. Defail impresses literally nobody.

Anyone know what day tickets go on sale?
