    Had it 117-111 Groves.

    The fight was always going to be as good as Eubank made it. Was clear from the start he didn't like Groves power and was gun shy. Was always likely to be the case when he came up against a guy who can move and bang as well as Groves can. Thought Groves fought very smart using the feints and jab on the outside and ragdolling Eubank inside. Both size and skills showed. Complete levels fight.

    Still think he'd jab Callum Smith's head off in the final. Hopefully we still get to see that fight despite the shoulder.

    Pure gold. Steak dinners all round.

    What exactly has he said that ain't true , let's break it down

    He hasn't got the ability-true
    He did nothing in there -true
    Face reality chris- Chris needs to face reality, his questions are stupid, the lad got killed


    About time a British commentator called it as it is, which prince is doing

    He needs to be schooled - how much can you really learn at 28?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,232 ✭✭✭Sandor Clegane


    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.

    He's really just not that good. Groves has far more experience and is by far the better boxer.

    What is McKenzie on about? In fairness he’s a black man who ran for UKIP so you can’t really put much stock in his opinions. He says that Eubank can compete against the best middleweights. Can you imagine him against Canelo or Golovkin?

    God almighty like.

    I wanted Eubank to win because his Dad is such a scream. Groves is ignorant, and unlikeable

    Oh he’s 100% correct mate don’t get me wrong; it’s just hilarious how he tells the stone cold truth in the face of all the usual British commentary bullsh*t.

    As a Muslim I didn't think he would drink but he's ****ed on something, did he mow those people down when he was drunk?

    He's a mess anyway

    Yawn. UKIP are a party with a substantial amount of racist dopes as members led by Hooray Henrys; one of their MEPs was banging on about people coming from “Bongo Bongo Land”. The same fella also ran for election in Croydon before declaring to a rally of locals that Croydon was “a sh*thole after all”. He’s a wally. Yeah

    I think you should read their manifesto and the history of specific people of colour in the UK and why they might vote that way before you talk about something you don't have a clue about but then I doubt that would stop you

    To use a man's politics as a put down shame on you, what his political views got to do with his boxing comments is beyond me

    Croydon is a ****hole

    Not at all, he is 100% right, especially in dispelling the Groves 'masterclass' rubbish

    Yeah I’ve lived in London for a decade in one of the most multicultural parts of the city married to a black woman; I don’t need lectures on UKIP and what they stand for. Likewise I don’t need privately educated former city traders telling me how we should have our NHS privatised and how Romanian carpenters are the reason the country’s in the sh*t. Now, as much as I’d like to argue with an anonymous Irish fella with a penchant for the English and unionist far right; I’m going to eat a cheese sandwich and go to bed.

    Unionist far right, you what?
    I think you are right, you should go to bed mate.

    How do I order the smith fight in Germany ��������������

    I wouldn't order that. The fact that Braehmer is even in a semi final shows how poor the SMW tournament is compared to the Cruisers, yet the SMW tourney is getting more limelight.

    Yep. Their goal is the maintenance of the United Kingdom including part of Ireland. Dopey British nationalists.

    You're dead right but it's not my fault your man is as delusional as Eubank Jr. Anyways, away to dream of spending my millions.

    big deal, you lived in london for 10years
    so did I
    how does that make you an expert
    is there any part of london that isnt multi cultural
    you do realise there were immigrants from all over the world
    in london long before you were born

    Junior was thoroughly outclassed last night. Groves came to box (cleverly), Eubank came to throw & land with haymakers.

    I think they may look back on the split with Adam Booth, as a critical point in the Eubank journey. Booth is a very good tactical trainer, and Eubank was with him a while back. But they had a falling out, I think it was cos of the old man.

    Imagine how much help he could have given Eubank for the Groves fight!
