    George Groves should. He has more rounds under his belt and he has fought Carl Froch twice. Indeed, Froch has been reminding people of Groves’ punching power.

    Hopefully it's a double KO.

    I think Eubank Jr will - ferocious punch power. Groves has good punch power but a questionable chin.

    Eubank Jr can pack a punch but has he got the ring craft needed? I’m not sure which is why I think Groves will shade it. It should be a good fight.

    I'm certainly looking forward to it. Both big punchers - battle of the strongest chin.

    I quite fancy watching it, but resent paying £17 for the privilege.

    Eubanks going up a weight really. Groves more a naturally bigger man.
    It's a good match up.
    Hopefully there's a stream.

    Chris Eubank Jnr warned George Groves 'he doesn't realise the danger is in' as the two fighters came face-to-face for the final time before their much-anticipated showdown.

    Eubank is expected to give up almost a stone in weight when the two meet in the ring on fight night. But at Friday's weigh-in, the 28-year-old came in at 11st 13lbs 9oz, with Groves tipping the scales at 11st 13lbs 2oz.

    if true that's a lot. George will be leaning on a lot through the fight.

    That's a terrible nickname for a boxer.

    Hitman, the beast, marvelous, hurricane, yes.
    Hopefully!!

    Just no.

    Groves will go all out to stop Eubank early doors. However,If it goes past 7 rounds I fancy Eubank.

    Eubank for me,TKO round 11.

    If that's true true Groves will be 7oz lighter than Eubank.

    Yeah but they can put on as much weight as they like after the weigh in and George will be able to put loads more on as he’s naturally the larger man.

    I think Chazz put 11 instead of 12 for Groves weight.

    Eubank for me, and Froch is also backing him.
