    Just out of interest I'm just a very casual fan but what's next for Eubank Jr in your opinion lads? That fight was a disaster really - where can he go from here?

    Back to middleweight where he belongs.

    Eubank will come again. This fight could be the making of him. He's no super middle though that's for sure. He'll win a world title again at middleweight.

    groves will be out of action for a good while with the shoulder.

    Getting real messy this.

    Your blatant bias for eubank the whole way through the fight had been enjoyable to read

    Everyone else 8-2

    You 6-4

    The WBSS super middles just don't have the same quality as the Cruisers. It's like a different ball game.

    I hate boxers that constantly hold. Groves did it all fight. 115-113 was about right for me.

    Win a world title against a nobody, he's an average boxer. The 2 fights he's stepped up he's been schooled, he's a journeyman

    Scorecards we're hilarious, I had groves winning everything bar the last round

    If it's 4 months for a rugby player I'd imagine 5 months minimum for a boxer

    Eubank has his eye on Truax, the guy that took De Gales title last December. De Gale was trash talking Eubank a huge amount before that fight, and then lost to a nobody himself.

    116-112 to Groves. I gave Eubank 3 rounds (1 of which could have been other way)

    Smith v Braehmer next week on PPV not sure anyone will be buying that crap!

    Groves will win the tournament no doubt

    Naz talking sense

    I'd say he's just saying what a lot of people are thinking! Jr just isn't good enough

    When did Eubank win a world title?

    I presume you dont recognise the IBO title. fair enough, I always felt 3 belts (WBA, WBC, IBF, )were enough but in this day and age there are so many variations .

    Money for absolute jam. Naseem is still gas.

    Pure gold. Steak dinners all round.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,071 ✭✭✭UrbanFret

    I've been sold a lot of snake oil in my time by hearn et al, but i don't recall ever having seen a main event fighter looking that wild and unpolished.

    “RETIAH CHRIS. YOU’VE NOT GOT IT SON! WHICH CAMERA DO I LOOK IN TO TELL HIM THIS?”

    Ha ha Naz is better than the fight itself.

    Haha pure banker Naz is on the old devil’s dandruff.
