There was a Behind The Scenes documentary on Sky earlier this month. Hopefully not the same one.
-
I see Joshua has also backed Jnr to beat Groves, saying his speed and engine will prove decisive. Just saying like..
-
There's no doubt Whyte has issues finishing opponents but he's probably the most durable heavyweight out there. The punishment he absorbed in the AJ fight was ridiculous. The real shame is he hasn't progressed in the way many thought he would've since then, even moreso with the revelation he fought Joshua with a shoulder injury that later required surgery.

Step up Dillian Whyte [emoji23]
-
I'd say he probably is to be honest.

[emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] Not a Whyte fan then?
-
And you know what? Having said all that I'd fancy him to upset Wilder.
-
I'm struggling to get anyone to go with me [emoji23]

I'll be honest. I'd like to see that again [emoji23]

Same script with the Eubank night. I've paid £100 for the VIP package. Photo opportunity and personal greeting on arrival etc. What's Brunos mental condition these days? Seems to be up and down.
-
On a sidenote I'm going to a night with Chris Eubank at Ayr Racecourse next month.
-
Well er no. It's usually random punters all wanting into the unofficial singing section. -
I see the bookies have Eubank very slight favourite at 4/5. Groves evens.
-
I've asked myself these same questions. I'm not sure you can say he hasn't inherited his Dad's chin though? I don't recall Spike having him rattled tbh. As I say one of us will be proved correct in January and I can't wait.
-
It'll be the usual free for all anyway. I usually end up to the right of the stand sharing a seat with another 3 folk [emoji23]

Shocker!
-
I disagree. I think his work rate is precisely what will win him the fight with Groves. Eubank will be able to sustain a relentless pace for 12 rounds and eventually I think he'll wear Groves down who let's not forget has always been suspect during the back end of fights where he tends to fade. I can't wait for this fight as it'll answer a lot of questions about Jnr and for me prove he is 100% the real deal.

The fight with Burns was probably Crawfords' watershed moment and he's gone on to become one of the top pound for pounds since then and Burns has racked up a substantial amount of mileage on the back of that loss. All things considered I think there's every chance Taylor would stop him and I'd put decent money on it happening.
-
Fair enough and I should add I'm a huge Burns fan. I think the vicious body shots Taylor threw against Davies (another relative novice I know) could be what would be Burns' undoing. A fight I'd love to see happen and if it does I reckon it would be the back end of next year -dependant on the outcome of any Crolla rematch - and Rickys swansong.
-
I agree but I think you're playing Devils Advocate here. If I handed you £50 to place a bet on Burns v Taylor next weekend who would you stick it on?
-
Fair enough, you're right I don't know but Taylor looks to have a lot more in his locker than Burns. Too young and too fresh and has shown far more than Burns did at that age. I reckon he'd be the first man to stop Ricky.
-
So you DON'T think he's got any better? Really? At what point does he start getting credit? After beating Groves? Fair enough the best he's fought is Abraham but he looks to be boxing well within himself. I can't see anyone left in the Super 8 stopping him and with the unbelievable engine on him he won't be outboxed.

I've watched virtually all his fights.

Anything is possible but I reckon Smith is a bigger threat than Groves.
