    George Groves: The point must be made...

    Yeah, I'll be that guy.

    Groves won in a hell of a performance, the scores were too close, Eubank had the wrong strategy. That's all fact.


    HOWEVER...just to point out.

    Groves' performance: "Masterclass!! Eubank exposed!! Eubank can't fight!! Eubank didn't show up!!"

    Floyd does the SAME performance against Manny: "All Floyd did was RUN! Floyd didn't do anything!!! Robbery!! Crooked judges!! Too much holding!!"

    ...just sayin.

                Eubank is just an idiot that's all and he can't even throw punches. No strategy. A blind folded monkey could have coached him to a win. He lost this fight because of his ******ity

                  I agree with all of this. And my thing is, that's exactly the same opinion I had about Manny that night. Especially the bold part.

                  But the other point: Groves clinched A LOT. I thought Clinchko was in his corner for a minute. He did what, if it were anyone not of that shade, would have been called "running" most all night long, yet he's praised.

                  I saw a boxing masterclass today - and this is from a guy who was 100% that Eubank would get the knockout. Instead I saw the same type masterclass Floyd put on against Manny. Same as what Saunders did against Lemieux.

                  Yet I struggle to understand why people to this day will give credit to Saunders and Groves yet say Floyd ran and hugged all night - despite all three doing the same strategy to win against limited, one-dimensional opponents.

                    He lost because he doesn't understand boxing as a science, he thinks its all about hitting pads and instagram.
