Eubank exposed again at a decent level, how an earth was he favorite going into that fight? It is amazing really how he has managed to get himself into this comp. Groves v Smith is proper fight. It will be a step up for Smith but he is massively rated by a lot of top ex fighters. Just hope Groves shoulder isn't too bad and is fit.
Groves would have to be favourite, Smith has fought no one, could be his big undoing if he walks straight into a top fight without at least faced someone half decent
If he's fully fit, Groves beats Smith. Smith has never been in a big fight, he's just been beating European level fighters and blokes with day jobs. The hardest test he's faced is a melted down and gaunt looking Skoglund, and he wasn't overly convincing, blood all over his face by the end. Don't get me wrong, I think Callum Smith looks decent enough, but he's yet to really fight anyone.
groves wont be the same fighter when he comes back from the dislocated shoulder, it will be at least 6 months to a year i think.
in that time smith will have fought at least once against a novice 13 fight ex kick boxer and if he wins that against god only knows what the world boxing super six lot have lined up for him in the final, maybe a ex MMA 13 fight novice just to make it interesting
How I'd love the Cuban to send that windmilling f**king idiot crashing to the canvas :lol: he's held the WBC belt hostage for three years now, it would turn the division, and the moneymen, upside down if Ortiz beats him. If Wilder is KO'd his career will be in tatters.
Wilder's been saying that Eddie Hearn is just another white guy exploiting a black guy
Guy's earned about £40m so far without having to extend himself (Klitchsko aside, who'd have beaten him if a few years younger). Oh to be exploited in such a fashion

I was surprised that he stooped as low as to say that, I thought he was better than trying to bring the colour of skin into the equation.
Ortiz wasn't using performance enhancing drugs last time out, it was in his medicine, I actually believe him. The incident before that, testing positive for Nandralone, was stupid, but u don't think he was using that to gain an edge, it was commonly used to aid recovery before it was banned.
Wilder is taller too. How good would it be to watch him fold and flop to the canvas?
Kell Brook should edge it tonight, I really hope Dave Allen wins this one, he's in the shape of his life but still looks like a stocky northerner when up against Lenroy!
Poor old Dave Allen, this must be driving him nuts. Stack up a couple of Journeyman for him to smash up in a couple of months time and get a third fight with Thomas sorted for the summer.
Wilder won't beat the winner of the fight in four weeks time. He was losing this until the KO. A younger hard hitter like AJ and Parker would cause him more problems, Fury would outbox him, he won't have that belt much longer.
Edit - those scorecards are ridiculous, Ortiz was winning hands down
