Jnr needs a decent trainer and fast, hopelessly one-dimensional tonight. Completely agree , he needs to ditch his dad and his ego to an extent. He’s a good fighter with a lot of potential but needs a fresh approach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porto Red Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Disappointed in that. Eubank got everything badly wrong and ended up looking outclassed. Trying to pick a knockout shot when he couldn't land anything and it was anyway questionable whether he had the power. Would have liked to have seen Groves press Eubank more, he was there for the taking I thought. Interesting that the crowd, who were initially roaring Eubank on, were towards the end jeering his wild misses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stortz Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) Good pro beats what turned out to be a rudderless hype job, happy days! Jnr could be naturally good, but he needs to get rid of his old man and get in some honest pros around him rather than yes men. Hope Groves' injury doesn't ruin the tournament.

TRL Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 I can't believe Eubank has got to nearly 29, with all the people around him,and still looks like a bang average amateur when he steps up in class, he should be coming into to his prime,he still looks like a newbie at this level. Gobshite who doesn't have the the talent that his dad had in his little toe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED4LIFE Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Very mature performance from GG. Kept Eubank away with the jab and never let Eubank get close to let off any combinations. I thought Eubank was definitely the more aggressive fighter, but he wasn't landing anything meaningful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stortz Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 5 minutes ago, JonDolman said: What is Naz on about. Groves was class, an absolute masterclass of boxing skills. Eubank clearly not a middleweight, but no excuses with that performance. Amazing heart, amazing chin, and clearly got speed. But throwing huge shots from the outside without setting them up is unbelievably bad. Groves just moved out the way almost every time. And when Eubank landed a left hook, he would just stand there and not follow it up. I'm not surprised by Eubank starting slow, and not surprised by his wild punches missing by a mile. He's done all this before when stepping up in class against Billy Joe. But I am surprised by how ineffective Eubank was on the inside. But then how much heavier was Groves on fight night? At least a stone , surely. When he's so much bigger and heavier, it shouldn't be a surprise that Groves coped easily with him up close. When Eubank did catch Groves flush, it seemed to have zero effect on Groves. If you can't wobble a very suspect chin with flush shots late in fights, then that shows the power is not there. Eubank is not even that powerful at middleweight, let alone super middle. He has to move back down in weight now imo. As for learning the fundamentals of boxing like Duke suggested, I can't see how he can change as much as he needs to this far into his career. CEJ is a busted flush, there are levels and he is clearly not near the elite after the performance tonight, cross referenced with the BJS one. His career seems a triumph of style and hype over substance so far. Good luck getting any promoters to deal with them in the future too. I agree that Naz should have given Groves far more credit than he did, but Mundo will go straight through him imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stortz Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Anyone got any idea wtf Kevin Mitchell is on about here? 'From this vantage point at ringside, the first semi-final was closer than two of the three judges reckoned. Howard Foster scored it 117-112 and Steve Gray had 116-112, both for the winner, while Marcus McDonnell’s card of 115-113 for Groves was closer to many estimates. The Observer gave Eubank six rounds, Groves five, with one even, or 115-114 in favour of the Brighton fighter.' From here: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/feb/17/george-groves-chris-eubank-jr-fight-report Seriously, what sort of lunatic thinks Jnr won that fight ffs? This man gets paid to write this. Put the crack pipe down, Kevin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob k Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 I don’t think I’ve been as disappointed in a fighter for a long time as I was with CEJ. He went in with a plan similar to what I would, ie throw some wild shots and see if one lands. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yardy Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Terrible performance from Eubank, it was obvious from the first few rounds that he needed to change tactics but hasn't got the mentality or team to change things. He has the tools to beat Groves but i fear his ego and his father are holding him back. To get instructions from Chris senior is just madness, the guy is nuts. Ultimately the guy with the most experience and better tactics won the fight easy, Eubank really needs to re-think his whole career . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
