It's interesting. The majority of pundits I've read think Groves will win. The public and bookies are with Eubank.
I've been much more impressed with Eubank in the last year and think he'll come out on top.
It’s based on who he’s fought for me. He’s not beaten anyone at world level and his latest opponents have been tailor made for him to a degree. Old man Abraham who has never been the most fleet of foot and the Turkish bodybuilder who was as flat footed as Krusty the clown.
He’s improved massively since his early days but lack of power, very, very average footwork and being too easy to hit spells disaster when coming up against a heavy handed, well schooled accurate boxer like Groves, who has a top class jab when he decides to use it. Groves is the bigger man too. Props to Eubank for entering this tournament though.
I think people tend to underrate George a bit based on the Froch rematch and subsequent fights. He’s always been a very good boxer. Eubanks best hope is that Groves has started to age a bit and can’t keep up with the pace
Looking forward to it though. It’s a very intriguing fight as Eubank is still unproven to a degree. Seems to have captured the imagination
