George Groves said that although Chris Eubank Jr is holding knockout power, he was unable to hurt him in a square circuit. In what is settled as one of the greatest British boxing matches of the generation, Eubank Jr has a rivalry with Conor Benn to bed for life when they meet at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium on Saturday.
Of course, in medium weight, Eubank Jr enters a fight as a master of Ibo with a general 34-3 record, three inch higher and a advantage with a capacity of four and half inch to 23-0 BENN welterweight. However, if Groves’ claims have something that could have repelled, he may not be able to finish his work when he finally has his day with one of his biggest rivals. Talking to IFL TV, Groves said about Eubank Jr: “I mean he was physically forceful, but I don’t remember any shots that came, where I felt as if my legs stiffened or buzzing me at all.
“It is certainly so massive that you would not like to give any free shots, he caught me with a few cuffs with left hooks and the like, but I think that everything was really good, so every time he could miss a little, which he could see as a success, I closed him. I closed it with massive hands to the body, it’s a shot.
“He is certainly a physical guy and a forceful guy, but when it comes to the power of impact, you see many of his shots, because he loads so much and made him miss them, especially many combinations he cast. I think my power was at a different level.”
One of only three career losses in the Eubank JR record, Groves took the head of his Pugilist in February 2018 with a unanimous decision after 12 massive rounds. As a result, Eubank Jr gave up the Super Middleight belt, and also lost the Super Middle belt in Groves (Super).
While Eubank Jr traditionally fights with two classes of weight over the weight of Benn, two men are to meet at 160 pounds during a fight in the capital on Saturday evening – with a hydration clause that will not allow Eubank JR to add 10 pounds to your night fight.
With losses with Groves, Billy Joe Saunders and Liam Smith, Eubank Jr, he fights with the winning run at the age of 35 with 25 knockouts in his name. Meanwhile, Benn will hope to protect his own flawless record that saw how he controlled such as Peter Dobson, Rodolfo Orozco and Chris Van Heerden.
The 28-year-old has not yet won the golden world championship during his career and hopes that he will be able to put in the title photo with a win with a much more experienced opponent.
