    What the **** was that entrance?

    A load of St George cringe, followed by some drummers and a brass section.

    He's washed up now having had two pastings from Froch. Never rated him.

    Woodhouse tweeted 'Groves via stoppage, inside 6 rounds, thank me later'.

    He won in the 5th.

    Curtis us getting good at this, he's got people paying him for tips.

    Doesn't that mean it's all a fix

    George Groves' WBA super-middleweight title defence against Chris Eubank Jr will take place at the Manchester Arena on 17 February.

    He's not the best but his jab is probably inside the worlds top 5 today. Insanely good jab.

    Eubank Jr will destroy Groves.

    It's an intriguing match for sure.

    Groves has the size, jab and harder one punch power. Eubank has the gas tank, volume of punches and takes his power late into fights.

    I think Groves will be on top through 8 rounds or so but will tire and be overwhelmed as Eubank just doesn't stop throwing.

    Eubank Jr is an exciting high intensity fighter. I think he'll have too much power for Groves and a knock down will come in round 6-8.

    I think Groves will 'old man' Eubank. Spoil, jab, frustrate. I see a scrappy, ugly points win for Groves.

    Can also see this happening. Groves will certainly have some old tricks up his sleeve.

    Tommy Coyle and Curtis Woodhouse really don't like each other very much.
