Comments Thread For: Eubank Sr. Admits: My Son Didn't Perform, Didn't Show His Level

yea but all I heard for 2 weeks is eubanks work rate is so high Groves will be worn down and taken out

I didn’t say that but I know other people did. However I didn’t think was going to win as I didn’t think Grover stamina or chin would hold up.

I think Eubanks engine is nowhere ear as good as we have all been led to believe. Lots of boxers would have a good engine and finish fights without breaking a sweat if they were being fed clowns and not being hit back. Groves heavy handing really sapped him. He is advertised as the best engine in the game but even 2 weeks before we saw someone with a better engine in action in the same tourny, Gassiev. Bloody joke he is lol

Yeah. To me a good engine is someone who can remain relatively fresh even when things are going all their own way.

If you're allowed to do what you want in the ring, it's easy to remain fresh because you can exert energy when it suits you i.e Eubank against his usual opponents where he postures for a far chunk of the round and the rest he leaps in with a barrage of shots.

His engine didn't look all that great last night when he wasn't able to do what he wanted. He looked more exhausted than Groves in the last part of the fight and getting sloppier. Groves remained sharp until the shoulder injury in the last round.

No, he showed his training. And his corner was TERRIBLE. His cutman shook like Roach does. And spent a lot of watsted time

But... But...
It was da cutmans fault doe!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Jr is the SM version of Adrian Broner. While Broners is more skilled both guys have power but don’t let their hands go enough and neither will ever reach their potential.

lol
No they don't....

Groves didn't show a lot of movement - but he showed excellent balance and ring generalship. Eubank Jr needed to give away the first couple rounds to assess Groves, but after that, he needed to slip inside and work the body in the middle rounds, then try and close the show in the later rounds.

I admit it's very easy to comment from afar, but Jr really embarrassed himself with this display. I agree with a previous commenter about the shabby corner work, and I really believe Jr needs to get away from his father as a trainer. He needs a Roach or someone who can improve his technical skills because he has the heart, chin, power and supreme conditioning.

To me Eubank jr looked not in his best shape. He was slower than I used to see him. Maybe he looked bad due to the better opposition, I don't know. But he was physically not in good shape.

PS: I am not an Eubank fan.

hes pound for pound number 1 at sparring!!!!

yeah!!! )))) he has beaten Froch and Groves

[Dip_Slide]

he needs a better camp and better sparring partners, all the sparring videos I've seen of him were him sparring extremely overmatched guys.
