Groves v Cox

Comment Deleted by Site Moderator

should be a good fight

with the winner probably facing calum smith

Wouldn't surprise me if Braehmer beats Smith, still don't rate Smith.

Groves vs Eubank is gunna be a war, really can't call it

was surprised at how cox came forward, groved always looks out on his feet but seems to find that one punch from somewhere, groves gets tagged far to easily and frequently, favour eubank by tko

I'd say Groves is at his best now, wouldn't say he was great or in his prime in them Froch fights, first fight he literally did just catch froch off-guard, and Froch still rallied and was on his way to knocking him out before the farcial end decision anyway, and the 2nd fight Froch comfortably won.

Groves was always the nearly man but finally won that world title and now he looks like he's coming into his own especially listening to him.

Winner of Groves/Eubank vs Degale is going to be a cracker too

I'd have to disagree.

Groves looks slower to me and there's something missing mentally in my opinion. He gets hit far too often and he isn't as slick as he used to be. He became a world champion by beating a one dimensional fighter who most expected him to beat but Eubank Jr is a different animal. The punch volume,speed and conditioning may prove too much for this lesser Groves.

The winner of this fight will fight Callum Smith(If he gets through to the final) and I expect the winner of this tournament to face DeGale.

Was having this discussion with my cousins yesterday. Groves doesn’t quite seem to have that slick style he showed vs Froch. It’s as if he’s taken the transition from young and fresh to wise and seasoned pro a bit too literally. Think if Eubank can take the power and weight difference he can wear him down and take it on points. I’ve not seen enough of Eubank’s fights to see how well he can take a shot.

Still got my Q marks over Eubank about his power and chin at this level. Will answer them all and sell me completely if he beats groves convincingly / stops him
