George Groves wants Chris Eubank Jr. To step down rather than taking the rematch with Conor Benn. He feels that eubank jr. (35-3, 25 COs) saw his ‘best days’, and he notes that he was admitted unanimous victory over Benn (23-1, 14 COs) two days after his 12-round victory on April 26.
Why retire now?
Groves says that “No other big battles” is available for the 35-year-old Eubank Jr., so he wants to see him leave the sport at a peak after his victory and great payday. Eubank jr. However, do not intend to retire. He wants the re-broadcast with Benn and possibly a mega match against Canelo Alvarez in 2026. It sounds like Groves is trying to get in the way of eubank jr. To create a dynasty with the money he will make from the rematch and other well -paid battles.
Eubank jr. Throw absurd bumps for a middle weight in the last two rounds. Benn was buried with activities and stopped close to both rounds.
Eubank jr’s punch output
– Round 11: 109 strokes and 52 landed
– Round 12: 122 strokes and 57 landed
Eubank jr. Showed that the youngster could not match him. In the first three rounds, Benn had his moments that threw a single judge pot shots. But Conor was helpless after Eubank Jr. His fighting style changed and forced the fight on the inside. He couldn’t do anything. He is not a combination puncher, and he just throws in the power with power.
Benn could not gain power from close, because he had to be on the outside to bring power on his shots. Eubank jr. Saw that mistake in Benn and utilized it.
Benn could only occasionally end up shots from round four to twelve when eubank jr. To move outside, but it was rarely. Most of Benn’s damage to Chris Jr.’s face occurred in the first three rounds before adjusting to take the action inward.
“No, I don’t think a re -broadcast. No re -broadcast. They had the fight. It was as big as it could have been, ‘Groves told Sky Sports. “I think Eubank should retire,” George Groves said Sky Sports Boxing About him who wants to hang his gloves rather than fighting Conor Benn again.
‘Eubank achieved victory. But I think he went directly to the hospital and only came home on Monday morning. So I think he should leave his career there. I think eubank should retire. His best days are over, past him. But he had a massive night. He had a wonderful payday. There are no other battles there for him that will get close to it. ‘
Benn’s weakness exposed
I don’t see eubank jr. Agree with the recommendation of Groves to retire. Why should he? He knows how to beat Conor and will probably turn him into the rematch by starting faster. Instead of fighting Benn’s fight in the first three rounds, Eubank Jr. Forcing him into a close war and overwhelmed him with activity.
As we see, Benn’s weakness is his inability to throw combinations and fight on the inside. It’s not going to change. Eubank jr. Know the blueprint for defeating Benn, and he will ruin himself in the re -broadcast. Promoter Eddie Hearn will do it well to keep Conor away from the fight against Eubank Jr. Again because he will get even worse.
