Groves hopes shoulder injury won’t sideline him for WBSS finals
By Marcus Richardson: The injured George Groves is hoping his shoulder problem won’t keep him from taking part in the June 2nd finals of the World Boxing Super Series following his 12 round unanimous decision win over Chris Eubank Jr. last Saturday night. Groves (28-3, 20 KOs) dislocated his left shoulder in the 12th round against Eubank Jr., and he then bravely endured the pain for the final 2 minutes of action.

George Groves vs. Chris Eubank Jr – Results
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.
