    Groves by a mile, he came back at the end but far, far too late.

    The issue with boxing (even if you accept the sport) is that the judging is ****ing mental sometimes. You have only got to hope they see the same fight as everyone else.

    Groves is a seasoned fighter, eubank will never get past an amuetur status while listening to his father

    George Groves produced a superb performance to retain his WBA world super-middleweight title as an enthralling points win against Chris Eubank Jr took him into the World Boxing Super Series final.

    From round 1 there was only one boxer in it.

    I'm genuinely surprised by Eubanks performance having seen him fight in the past.

    I thought that he was better than he was.

    Turns out I'm a bad judge of potential <laugh>

    If it makes you feel better, I thought Eubank would go on to be a all time great...

    He and his father have heart, but lack boxing intelligence. The whole world knew how Groves would fight, but Eubank looked bamboozled from the first round.

    No combinations from Eubank is bizarre, he was swinging for the fences every time, and mostly missing. It was just bizarre.

    I'm genuinely gutted, I mean congrats Groves, but when he's the best in a division, there's a lack of talent.
