WBSS - Super Middleweight - Groves vs Cox - Oct 14th

Another weekend fight, winner faces Eubank, the winner of last week's contest.

PPV is on ITV for a tenner. Con I know.

Groves needs to make quick work of this lad and make a statement. I fancy him against Eubank. I can only pick Groves over Eubank as the latter is still an unknown quantity. If Groves and Eubank meet and Eubank gets the better of him, he'll start getting far more plaudits than he currently gets. You just can't have the gob and attitude he has and fight taxi drivers forever, that's how you become the state that Kell Brook is right now. Destroyed twice, permanent injuries to both of his eyes. Eubank has to step it up. Super Middleweight isn't a stacked division because the Canelo's and Golovkins are still lingering below.

Problem with this division is absolutely none of them beat Golovkin at Super or standard Middleweight. If Eubank gets through this, I fancy Eubank vs Canelo as a matchup. If he can survive shots from Groves I think he can lay claim to a decent chin and the way he fights inside would make an interesting matchup with Canelo. Eubank just has to be wary of any Groves shot, he's beyond underrated at times, Froch made that mistake heavily in the first fight, only two fighters can lay claim to nailing Froch and watching him fall. On the other hand, Groves can't let Eubank get inside his guard and box from there, otherwise he'll lose. There's no real indicator to where Eubank's power is at, but if Groves gets tagged enough times, does it really matter?


Onto Groves vs Cox, Groves via TKO.
