Did anyone in his corner have a word, I know he likes to do it alone but during 12 rounds of wildly swinging you'd have thought he might have tried something a bit smarter. Really got found out.

Not been mentioned but that tweet nonsense from his dad was well over the line.

[Shaggy]

What happened?

[labourRed]

Mind games trying to imply that Grooves could get hurt.

Oh dear

To be fair to snr he did tweet this in the early hours

Christopher Eubank
✔
@ChrisEubank

.@StGeorgeGroves was skilled at moving and nullifying @ChrisEubank ‘s attack’s.
&it’s not the first time I’ve been wrong.
A gargantuan congratulations to him&his team😊
The injury Mr G sustained to his shoulder is a draw back for him but he won&both men are safe &that’s good😊

Mad thing is there is still a chance that Eubank jnr will compete in the final and not Groves.


There is talk that there will not be an extension given for Groves's shoulder to heal up, and that the final will not take place at a later date.


If this happens then the losing semi finalist, Eubank jnr, could be asked to take Groves' spot in the final and then Groves would get a shot at the eventual winner when he is healed up.


Personally I think they should move the final and wait on Groves as Eubank jnr did nothing to deserve a back door entry into the final.

There's not a chance in hell Jr fights in the final.

Sauerland was interviewed post fight and he was damning of Jrs performance and also Sr. Sauerland said may prefer a Brahmer Vs Smith rematch in the final if that's what it takes.

Get the feeling that a lot of chickens are coming home to roost for the Eubanks.

There apparently monumental pricks to deal with on the business side of things.

That's all well and good when you're not getting badly exposed on the biggest stage.

That interview when Eubank stated Jnr would be better than Mayweather

Yeah they really dropped some comedy gold in many of their interviews.

Would be better than Mayweather jr, would school Andre Ward, would beat GGG, and so on.

I didn't see it, that's hilarious. I feel a bit sorry for Duke McKenzie there. But he's not lying "you're either good at boxing or you're not" - 100% correct.

In other news, Danny Garcia KO'd a shot Brandon Rios. Very good right hand, laid him out on his back. Garcia needs to get back in the mix after proving he's ready to be back to the level he's been at and Rios should retire.

Bang!
