    A guy who is clearly not crying and asking him if he's going to cry? Literally play ground stuff.
    Its mental games
    He understands some people can't control their emotions when being spoke down to
    Made for a great build up

    I liked it

    Ali did similar things

      Yeah somehow I just can't see Ali sitting accross from Joe Fraizer or Sonny Liston and coming out with the great line "Are you going to cry"

      His emotions were just normal. He was just sitting there totally normal answering the questions.

      Then Groves says "Are you going to cry? He's crying" just randomly out of no where.

      It's not funny it's just a weird, childish thing to say. No one really knew how to respond because it was just strange and random more than anything.

            trashtalk in pro sports is generally ****** and pointless. They all high five each other later on knowing they won the lottery by promoting the fight to well.

            In this regard it's actually better when it makes no sense and just seems like bad WWE writing. If you're gonna be cheesy then double down.

              He always gives his best
              He has had highs and lows
              And I have no problem with saying he is one of the best British fighters of recent times

              Yeah he may not be an A+ Fighter but not everybody can be

              Anyway give it up for George "UglyKid" Groves

              The Man Deserves some credit.....


              Heal up for the final
              We are rooting for ya
              Scuse me mate? are you refering to the governor?

              You hit the nail on the head... A plus or not, he is hard nosed, fights a full round, has skills and carries himself well. I actually felt sorry for him...Eubank really threw him around. He hung in there and might have had his shoulder jerked around by the kid. He is a good champ and has some polish and skills to show for it.

                I get it. I get what trash talking is and I get what Groves was trying to do.

                What I don't get it how saying to a guy who is completely calm and not crying "Are you going to cry" is in any way funny, witty, or anything other than just flat out strange.

                But yeah to each it's own I suppose. Agree to disagree.

                    He's trash, Brahmer would have won this whole tournament had he not pulled out lol, Smith is a joke.

                    Eubank had zero game plan.

                    If Eubank learned some actual fundamentals and learned how to get on the inside properly, he would've KO'd Groves. He has the tools he just doesn't have a proper coach or training.
