By Marcus Richardson: Chris Eubank Jr. (26-2, 20 KOs) feels he did enough to deserve a close against WBA Super World super middleweight champion George Groves (28-3, 20 KOs) in their fight on Saturday night at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England.
By Scott Gilfoid: As I predicted, George Groves (28-3, 20 Kos) was way too talented for the much smaller Chris Eubank Jr. (26-2, 20 KOs) in beating him by a 12 round unanimous decision in the semifinals of the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS) on Saturday night in front of a packed Manchester Arena in Manchester, England. The judges had Groves winning 117-112, 116-112 and 115-113. Those scores don’t appear to match tonight’s fight between Groves and Eubank Jr. There are not 4 or 5 rounds in the fight that you can point to and say Eubank Jr. won them. At best, Eubank Jr. won 2 rounds. At worst, he won only round 12 after Groves suffered a shoulder injury.
