    He was fully found out in this fight. Sad :/ The Billy Joe fight he legit did pull rounds back and arguably lose a close decision but on this attempt to step on to world level he was shut out completely. Thee's nothing for him to do, what does he do, go MW and operate at british level because for sure Groves is no Canelo, GGG, Charlo, BJS, Jacobs.... LOL

      Who would've beaten him at 160? He had a close fight with a current MW who is elite in BJS and that's it.

      DJ gets labeled as an elite MW for a close fight with ggg. Unlike DJ Eubank has never been KTFO before either.

        Very close?

        Tonight wasn't very close at all. Groves was comfortable apart from a few moments.

        Saunders was very, very comfortable for 6 or 7 rounds but he was about 60% fit and faded. A dedicated Saunders would've 12-0 Eubank and would if they fought now.

        Not knocking Eubank but he just hasn't got the tools at that level to deal with intelligent fighters. it is what it is. Not everyone can be world class.

          Bjs wasn't half as good as he his today so that's irrelevant to me. Eubanks ducked Jacobs by dropping his belt to go fight Blackwell( a nobody), he doesn't beat any top 10 guy in either division. And because Jacobs got knocked out by a very good fighter in pirog that makes him less then eubank? Ffs what kind of logic is that

            BJS & Eubank are the same age, they both progressed equally, Eubank got a lot better as well.


            Jacobs got KTFO by Pirog and dropped by Mora, his defense is absolutely horrific. There isn't a single fighter on his resume better than a guy like Chudinov. If ggg had fought Eubank and beat him he'd be top 2 on his resume easy.

              You really think because they're the same age that they somehow progressed equally? In what world is that ever the case?
              You are trying to make eubank out to be something just to reinforce your argument, facts are eubank openly ducked jacobs. Eubanks has fought 2 good opponents and lost. He isn't world level. I would put money on kell brook every single day if they ever fought at 160, as would I Jacobs .

                He fooled me. I thought he was going to KO Groves. I overrated him and underrated Groves. I thought he was the best at 168 but obviously he is not.

                    Yes, you had people on here saying he would beat GGG, Canelo, Andrade, and Charlo.

                      No wonder he lost his pen when he was offered the ggg fight he thought he wouldn’t get it but when **** got serious he realized he’s gonna get knocked out for real and damage his career, he managed to prolong it a couple years but the jig is up.
