Comments Thread For: Eubank Sr: After My Son Sparring Him - Not Worried About Groves

[thack]

Sparring of course is only an indication and as always both are saying they have each others measure.We will see Saturday who is right.

If Eubank has the chin of his father then he can win on work rate if Groves starts slow.
I can also see Groves frustrating Eubank and picking up rounds but I just can’t see him dominating for enough of the fight.

Is it possible to read those quotes without hearing Eubank’s voice?

hahahha. Nope. I hear the voice, too.

Eubank Jnr & Snr are f***ing d***heads, I hoep Groves f***s that little s*** up and drops the IBO belt into a garbage can!

I wonder if George can handle the fast assaults of Jr. and the hurtful consistent uppercuts .Will G. have time to get his jabs going but one thing is for sure if he can then Jr. won't be in for the easy night he suggests.If George can land his big punchers early Jr. might go into a shell and be taken to the cleaners by Georges excellent ring craft.I lean towards Jr's fast hard punchers doing the job but you'd be a fool to count Groves out.

Sr. knows this and is giving his son the confidence he should .....no surprise.

Froch wasn't worried about groves after sparring with him either, was plenty worried enough in second fight though.

I have got a feeling that Eubank Junior's power could let him down in this fight! At some point in the fight, George Groves is really going to test Junior's punch resistance! This is the first time Junior has been inside a ring with a SUPERMIDDLEWEIGHT who is fast/accurate enough to land on him! (Interesting fight anyway, I predict that Eubank Junior will probably win most of the rounds but? Groves will be looking to counter him or produce a Bernard Hopkins vs Oscar De La Hoya type performance! Hopkins early on in his fight with De La Hoya realized that there was no point in trying to compete with De La Hoya's hand speed or try to hard in landing head shots so? He just kept things simple and went to the body....

Look at how slim and petite Eubank Junior core and mid-section is, he has his fathers will power and mental toughness! But I don't know weather physiologically he has been built as robust...

I will still pick Chris Eubank Junior to win!
