    Who ever thought eubank would win was blinded by the hype, they posted sh** of him throwing 10 punches per second then his rubbish win against some unknown robotic Turk..that kid was and will stay a sh** fighter.

      There is nothing "Next Gen" about him. The only thing he has going for him is speed and somewhat athleticism.

      Poor ring IQ. Poor technique, poor balance, poor footwork and just mediocre boxing overall. He needs to fire his corner (read: father) too.

        I agree with everyone saying he need a to admit his flaws, get a new trainer and work in basic footwork and fundamentals because he's an amazing athlete and has the things you can't teach.

        But how do you get the basic fundamentals and good footwork when you're 28 and has been making these mistakes his entire career? He should of been learning these as soon as he walked into a boxing gym because they take years of practice and drills before it comes natural.

        All these guys with good amateur pedigree were practicing fundamentals and footwork at least twice a week during their childhood/amateur days, now it's natural and they don't need to work on it as much.

        At the level Eubanks at, at the age he is I just can't see him turning that part of his style around, most coaches would say it's too little too late now.

          Great fight

          I scored it for Eubanks . Scorecards were too wide and the commentary was pathetic

            I know some folks who went to the fight and they all thought Eubank controlled the fight.

            I didn't see it personally. I thought it was a clear win for Groves.

              a ****ty stream with no audio, in SD at 3:30am after a 12 hour shift.

              Oh, and it also didn't show the corner stuff between rounds, so it took quite a while for me to find out WHO was bleeding (I could see it on the refs shirt, but couldn't make out who was cut) By the time I found out, I wasn't going to revise my card for blood, especially since I couldn't tell how it was caused.

                I gave Eubank 3 or maybe 4 rounds.

                He looked clumsy, clueless and was clearly rocked a number of times.

                No jab, no footwork, spent most of the fight following Groves like a puppy around the ring.

                You need ringcraft and more than basic boxing knowledge to win a World title.

                Eubank saying he doesn't need a trainer is just pathetic, he is an entitled child who has had smoke blown up his a$$ by his lunatic father.

                Anyone who thinks Eubank actually won that fight needs to be confined to an asylum.

                  I'll be rewatching it tonight if a HD stream is available. Sounds like I missed quite a bit (confirmed that at least one of the "slips" was a KD, etc.)

                    I've watched it twice now. second time you can clearly see just how limited Eubank is, quite shocking how poor he is technically. Groves also rocked him to his socks 3-4 times with hard right hands. Eubank was completely lost in that ring.

                      yeah, I was so scared about finding a spoiler when I got home last night I just went with the first stream I could find. SD, no audio, the between round stuff was cut out, etc. I noticed Eubanks got rocked and looked hella hurt in one of the late rounds (I think the 11th?) But I couldnt tell if he was really shook, or if he was backing up and playing possum.

                      The stream was so bad, that I didnt even know Euabnks was cut until like round 10. I just saw red on the refs shirt for a bunch of rounds and thought "hmmm....someone get cut?"

                      Also, in my defense for giving Eubanks the fight (by one round, gave a few tie rounds) I awarded him the closer rounds just because I found Groves to be clinching, head locking and rabbit punching. I'll rewatch the fight and acquiesce that my scorecard was crap, but I think we can all agree the ref was even worse haha
