Comments Thread For: Groves-Eubank Tickets - Fan Frenzy, Sold Out in Seven Minutes

[PensionKiller]

Yes, sir. You know your boxing! Who you picking?

From what I've read so far, I think a lot of the UK fans are picking Groves, not sure. I like Groves, too, and he's a very good fighter, but Eubank is too fresh, too relentless, too strong, and extremely aggressive. He's a combination power puncher, as well. Groves's face won't hold up.

Chris is at the height of his career right now, with a lot of self confidence (some say arrogance). I don't see Groves overcoming all that at this point of his career. He'll certainly fight his balls off, though. At the end, it won't be close to enough. Groves is worn out, IMO.

I predict Euabank in 8 rounds or less, in a war.

It's very much possible that Jnr wins, but I have seen many high workrate and average powered boxers not win when the other guy is quite good technically and has some power. Groves is vulnerable but remember that Jnr is easy to hit because he is always there.

Maybe Groves gets mauled but if he hurts and controls distance, Jnr can be tamed.

Surely getting a deal with ITV should be a priority then for Hennessy, free to air fights would surely help build the profile of live attendances ?

Channel 5 is free to air. Hennessy is pretty much irrelevant nowadays. Warren & Hearn are dominating. Hughie should try and sign with either of them.

Good analysis. I like both guys. I was rooting for Groves against Froch. He's a tough, tough guy.

I'll have to go with Eubank this time, without bias.

Have genuine sympathy for you mate, I didn't get the tickets I wanted and right up until the last second it didn't look like I was getting any. I was at work shouting and cursing at my phone, selfishly hoping that eubank would pull out of the fight and they'd draft in a turd replacement that no one pay to watch and these low life tout scum would be left with thousands of pounds worth of tickets they couldn't shift.
Something needs to be done, I think that they should check tickets and ID's at the venue and unless one member of your group has matching ID to the card used to pay for them the tickets should be invalid. It's a bit drastic and would lead to longer queuing times at first but something has to change, it's just not fair.

Even though something needs to be done, nothing would happen. They control the market that way. This was a fight i genuinely wanted to see live, but i guess i would catch it on Youtube later.

Am going with Eubank too, timing in boxing is everything and the timing looks just right for the fresher Eubank.

I'm genuinely jealous of how amazing UK fans are. America ****ing sucks man

It's not to late bro, instead of garlic butter gang you could be part of the great britain gang?

I can't see this fight being anything other than a brutal war!

Eubank will be the clearly smaller man in there, Groves is a rangy counter-puncher and has a good jab. Eubank will take shots just getting in distance....all the time. Eubank has a good chin but he hasn't fought a puncher before. I see Groves sparking him pretty early in this fight. Eubank has hyed himself up, along with his father, he truly believes in sparring and gets his confidence for surviving against bigger guys....unfortunately for him he is going to come up against a big punching SMW who can fight on the back-foot and move a bit.

Don't be surprised if Eubank gets hurt badly early on, and his chin doesn't hold up at this weight at world level. Yildirim and an old, short Abraham who turtled up are no gauge for taking on a Groves with momentum.

Course it was.

Stubhub stays winning.
