Yeah I saw that the other day too. I'm sure his ego has taken a big hit today. Excuse the pun.
I personally wouldn't say he was outclassed though, obviously subjective.
I think the boxer had better skills than the brawler, and used that little bit of extra experience to dictate 8-10 rounds of...
Groves won because he landed more with much less waste.
Yes he was on the back foot for 60-70% of the fight, but that's tactics. Think 'less possession and counter attack' in football.
Jr really needs a proper coach/trainer.
He's a very good brawler but at the highest level, you've got to have world class boxing skills. Which he really doesn't have.
I'm a big fan of Jr, and I've been saying the above since the BJS loss.
Here we go then. WBA & IBO on the line at 10pm tonight.
Post your bets/predictions here!
Going for a Jr win by stoppage between 10-12.
Anyone travelling up to Manchester to watch?
