Comments Thread For: George Groves vs. Callum Smith Not Likely To Land in UK

[5000boxing]

Because he's **** average ... Lost to the only two opponents he's faced that haven't been c level and treated his IBO belt like it was the best thing since sliced bread.

Tried charging a fortune for himself on ITV PPV after trying the same at matchroom when he fannied out of a contract Infront of him for golovkin. The fight he'd been saying he wanted for months.

Eubank is a cancer..a cancer with no jab and a piss poor defence.
Il bother watching him when he starts to realise firing 50 punches a second at a heavybag doesn't make you a good boxer.

I honestly gave him the win against saunders.. 7-5..

I would rather see a Groves-Eubank rematch. Callum Smith is garbage.

I'd rather watch Eubank.. I need to know why Eubank gets so much hate aww in the u.k.. he's entertaining, and talented.. so im wondering.. is there a article or something I missed to make the general public hate the kid so much?.. I mean.. dang, did he beat his wife or something? I personally would like to see him fight at 160 again.. that division is on fire!

I know when i went off him. He posted a video of him knocking out a novice amateur, showing off taking a complete liberty. The constant use of the Blackwell tragedy in promoting hes dangerousness looked pretty bad too. He also makes me feel guilty because he made me root for Billy Joe Saunders, who i now think makes Chris look like a great guy lol.

Ah.. I see.. but I watched all the trash talk, and hype from blackwells camp.. an blackwell took a beating.. so he looked dangerous and proved that hes dangerous.. especially if he goes back down to 160.. I want to see him vs Andrade, Charlo, GGG, Jacobs, derymencheko, Canelo. These fights I would definitely pay for.

Nobody outside the UK cares about these two fighters so this fight needs to happen somewhere in the UK.

Think the problem is Groves injury has pushed this right into Joshua territory. Think Groves/Smith supposed to be happening 8th Sep, youve got Joshua 22nd taking a massive chunk of the ticket buyers, possibly Saunders/Degale 15th. All 3 maybe PPVs, chuck in Golovkin/Canelo. Gunna be overkill in September.

Its more the use of the Blackwell fight in the press release when he pulled out of hes title defence next fight. Sure, theres hype, but using a tragedy to sell a fighter isnt a good look for our game. But sure, Eubank is tough and brave, hes limited but would make a good fight for any middleweight. Hes just got no class as a person so hes kind of hard to root for.

Eubank has no place in a ring with Groves until he's gone away and demonstrated he's learned his lesson. He needs to rebuild his career and show that he has at least the fundamental skills needed.

Can't imagine Groves Smith makes more overseas, so maybe this is Sauerland trying to get people talking about it.

Fair enough.. I don't put to much energy into what fighters do out of the ring.. most are bad people.. but hey.. They are fighters.. u need a certain grimy mind set to be a fighter
