    Looks messy but Groves' holding must be tiring. Eubank looking better than he has the first 4 rounds.

    Eubank getting schooled here.

    Not really been a fast paced fight so don't think Groves will fade as much as he normally does, can see junior getting more frustrated and getting caught.

    Great mind games from Groves!

    Groves controlling the pace, leaning on Eubank to take some energy out of him and Eubank uncomfortable when he gets tagged. However when Eubank is on the inside he struggles.

    I’ve got groves 69 - 67 so far. Brilliant night

    This is a shut out for Groves

    Thought Eubank would come on more when he improved in rounds 7 & 8. Turns out he's just gone more ragged and being picked apart now.

    Got by three round for groves. Eubank desperate as he’s gained so much muscles yet his power punches not really effecting him.

    He can’t go as fast as he’s gained so much muscle to what he’s used to.

    Great British boxing fight though

    Eubank has a hell of a chin though to take that Groves shot.

    Shows how important a corner is, this self trained stuff is utter nonsense.

    Junior can't seriously think he's won this?

    Groves won by quite a few rounds. Tied Jr up in the clinches quickly and won with his jab from range in the early rounds.

    Eubank is tough as nails though, took a lot of punches from a power-puncher and didn't look in trouble chin-wise.

    I gave Eubank 4 rounds and that's it. Groves pissed all over him.

    George fought the right right. Eubanks fought it like any other fight, and that's why his tactics didn't work.

    Anyone got the odds on Eubanks excuses please?

    Eubank fought like an idiot. (Should've clarified I was taking the mick) - so so sloppy

    Boxing masterclass from groves. Absolute world class in my book. Jabbed him
    To keep him from coming inside and the leaned on him to tire him when he did get inside. Quality from Shane mcguigan to.

    I had 117 - 114 to Groves

    Credit to Eubank for pushing it to the end, but the amateurish corner set up will hold him back when it matters.

    The contrast between the two was so clear.

    Would love it if he threw it in to the crowd!

    As for excuses, the judges were influenced by the fans!

    Shocked the commentary team never mentioned the obvious shoulder injury until long after the fight when they were told at ringside.

    The only time Groves was troubled was while Eubank had an entire limb advantage

    Would be funny if he vacated it straight away. Show how much it's worth.
