I have this fight in my Virgin package, happy days.

Just looking at jnr's record, tbf he's only lost to BJS (split decision) and Groves (outclassed).

I think I maybe unfairly judge his entire career on being badly schooled by Groves, but gotta remember he was a bloody good boxer. 

George groves wasn’t a elite fighter and lost every time he stepped up to world level

Never said elite, but I liked Groves. Remember seeing him fight in LA, he got a horrendous cut early doors but went on and stopped his opponent.  Tough lad and good boxing brain. Also involved in two of the biggest ever fights on UK soil. 

That night he made Jnr look like an amateur

He was in with some good fighters Groves- DeGale, Froch, Badou Jack, Callum Smith. always gave an excellent account of himself- even when catching that tonking from Mundo.

Exactly my point,groves was good and that’s about it, but think you said along the lines without going back that Eubanks record wasn’t that bad,if losing to a European standard fighter in groves isn’t bad then Christ

Marshall, very rare for a female boxer with genuine KO power, the best woman's match v Shields??

Seen shields a few times and her jab is so fast but when she attacks she is all arms and legs and is just hoping to connect,if Marshall is smart enough to let her come on she’s more than capable of picking her off

Shields punches to the body like Ricky Hatton, she absolutely rips them in.

Hi Stortz, I've taken my eye off the boxing a bit recently.

Feel a bit fed up with it in all honesty particularly the British fighters, feel like we keep getting robbed of the fights we want. 

Hope you're keeping well mate.

Come on, we're getting the ghost of Khan v the ghost of Brook in 2 weeks!

Groves still had Froch on his ass and not many do that.  It was an absurd stoppage 

It was a world title fight. These guys train their whole life for a fight like that and then the ref stopped it then? As you rightly say, absurd stoppage and you won’t find many people who would say otherwise
