Eubank Jr vs. Groves analysis
By Tony McKenna: It was the night Chris Eubank Jr came of age. In Wembley Arena, on 15th July 2017, Eubank Jr put on a masterclass of boxing. He exhibited the full superfluity of his movements; that ceaseless, undulating flow of hooks and uppercuts, opening up his opponent’s defence like waves cascading across a crumbling sea wall. Easy, nimble on his feet – quick darting feints of the head left him tantalizingly just out of reach, but on those few occasions when his rugged, tank-like opponent was able to land cleanly with a whistling left over the top, Eubank Jr seemed unphased, his smooth chiselled features lighting up momentarily in an amused smile.
