Chris Eubank senior much more than his son is coming in for a lot of home truths today after years, and years of telling the public his son would be a world beater.
That notion, as we predicted on here, was dispelled by Londoner George Groves.
A capable boxer who stuck to an efficient game plan to win a points victory over a brave Chris Eubank Jr last night.

Whatever you think about Chris Eubank senior, the reality is he’s braver than most men walking this Earth.
He stepped in between the ropes in the first place and was one of the best super-middleweights of his era.

This video has been going viral all day so far since the Groves loss last night for his son:
