Comments Thread For: Photos: Groves Hands a Bloody Chris Eubank Jr. a Boxing Lesson

[TheBigLug]

Groves has issues, major ones, but Chris screwed himself by keeping his father too close, not getting good coaching, not taking better fights. I've been saying this for years. He had so much potential and he threw it away. Now, he's a stiff fighter with 2 punches, who can't adapt.

You're not wrong.

Also, people are talking about Eubank needing to go back to basics and learn the fundamentals...he's 30 next year, he isn't a young prospect anymore. He needs to learn things that he should have been learning as a teenager.

He will never really compete with top guys in the division. He simply hasn't got the tools to do it. Being athletic will only get you so far. Not saying he's a bad fighter, he's good to a certain level but that level isn't world class.

In my opinion, if he does want a real crack at world level again. he should get away from his team, go with a proper trainer and spend the next 3-4 fights at fringe contender level trying to put what he's learning into practice against guys he can't just rush and bowl over.

Can't imagine him going with another trainer though. He went with Adam Booth and that working relationship lasted about a month.

Eubanks Jr. is a tough kid but he’s a B level fighter.

Think his performance yesterday was poor but i think he froze i had him fave until i seen both walk to the ring he just looked on edge nervous groves looked calm confident and on point i new then groves would win and put a bet on groves eubank can come back groves has from alot worse his ego and the hype is why hes taking such a back lash now i put him at the same level as billiw joe saunders who was classed as a bum more a less a year ago now with one win v a walking punch bag lemiux hes a world beater i would put money on eubank winning a world title within 18 months

Eubank Jr trains like a beast and has great athleticism...but that alone is not enough.

Ultimately in boxing it's skills that pay the bills.

eubank never followed up with his aggression. no jabs. got completely out boxed. I guess there was a legit KD also that was denied.

Please go ahead and train under Abel Sanchez or Robert Garcia

I was wrong about this fight ,I didn’t think Groves chin or stamina would hold up. So glad he won.

[Warrior Scholar]

If he'd respect the training, his opponents would respect him more, after the fight. What greater honor is there than to have your opponents respect you...after the fact. that is what you want

Perfect comment, summarizing all that needs to be told about him.

[Travycat]

Did he really say he thought he did enough in the later rounds to win? Not even close. What a sore loser. And there shouldn’t be a rematch.

When the dust settled it's there to see that Jr. is clearly deluded if he really thinks he won that fight then this explains his odd behavior.He doesn't seem to have any level of reasoning.Even Sr. who is not right seemed humbled when he admitted Jr. never got going.

There is no reason for a rematch Jr. won two rounds , Groves basically won a shutout and showed how little Jr. can really do against a good solid boxer.Jr. was shockingly disappointing and has built his career on false confidence but was painfully exposed last night.
