Eubank Jr. vs Groves is only two weeks away!!!

[LA_2_Vegas]

Can't wait for this fight, I like both

GG was always one of my fav prospects....been a while since he has been able to put together a comprehensive fight and turned it into a win - the Degale fight is the only one. The talent jumped off the screen early on against Froch I but then he lost focus. The early knockdown against Jack was especially frustrating because Groves then fought pretty well after that, he just stumbled early and it probably cost him the fight. There definitely was point where it looked like he was in decline...but all in all though, he does seem resurgent lately. Eubank, for his part, really has an edge about him now. definitely will be watching this

Groves won't be able to avoid backing on to the ropes which is where he lost both fights to Froch. Can see Jr taking his chances to tee-off on him and that uppercut will do damage.

Yeah I see this happening too but I would love if he detonated a total bomb on Eubank and dropped him to his pants.

I would like to see this fight more than D Garcia vs Rios (sho) and Alexander vs Ortiz (fox). Hopefully they will stream in on youtube also?

Froch thinks eubank will win.
So I'll go for eubank.

I just think Eubank will relentlessly maul groves into a TKO late on with an exhausted groves laying on the ropes

If eubank is hesitant or does not bring it every second of every round then groves will simply pick him off with the jab and win a decision.

This ^. I read a comment above that Groves 'lost focus' against Froch... in fact the constant pressure and high workrate - not to mention Frochs consistent but largely uncommented upon bodywork simply took it's toll. Eubank Jr appears to be in superb physical condition and I believe his cardio is exceptional - his gameplan should be to get close and stay close and never step off the gas. For me Groves is the better boxer, certainly he is on the outside, but with a smart strategy I got young Eubank in this one.

Groves is the underdog on every betting site. I'm gonna toss some money on him, I have a feeling that he's gonna outbox Eubank

Any idea if this will be on US TV? Often the channel AWE picks up the UK fights.

Really hard to call. It's about 50/50 right down the middle. Probably the hardest currently scheduled fight to pick a winner.

Two things go against Groves for me on this one: his tendency to lose discipline in the later rounds, and Shane...

If Groves BOXES, he will win this. Just like Saunders did, he needs to move and not let Eubank set his feet or get too close. I heard Groves saying something like, 'He's not that fast'... maybe so, but I'd wager in the second half of the fight that Eubank's hand-speed will be superior to that of Groves, and if he can get some of that inside work, I can see Groves getting stopped. More than this, though, I think Shane will be the weak link for Groves. When George is looking to Shane for advice on how to keep Eubank off of him in the later rounds, I don't see Shane having any answers

Anyway, should be a great fight!
