    Round 11: George Groves v Chris Eubank Jr

    Eubank swings for the fences, with another wild uppercut. He is certainly the aggressor, and has been for a while. Groves looks like a man who thinks he has done enough and is not engaging in a toe-to-toe brawl as Eubank wants him to.

    Round 11: George Groves v Chris Eubank Jr

    Eubank needs something sensational in these last six minutes.

    Round 10: George Groves v Chris Eubank Jr

    It may not have been effective and it has been wild, rather than pleasing on the eye, but give Eubank some credit. His face is a mess. The cut, sustained in the third, has affected and hurt his performance. It's not over yet though.

    Round 10: George Groves v Chris Eubank Jr

    Eubank takes a breather after another attack. Has he burnt himself out? He is going for the glory punch. It hasn't happened for him just yet.

    Round 10: George Groves v Chris Eubank Jr

    Eubank loses his balance and falls to his knees. No punch though. No count. Seconds later the same happens. Again no count.

    Round 10: George Groves v Chris Eubank Jr

    Eubank lands with a fine left hook, but it is just one punch and there is no follow-up. Signs of encouragement for Eubank though. He needs much more of that.

    Round 9: George Groves v Chris Eubank Jr

    No messing about by Eubank, the haymakers are getting more frantic. But they are still not landing, certainly not clearly.

    Both men punch each other after the bell. Eubank's face, quite simply is a bloody mess. How much can he see? Is the blood dripping into his eye from the cut just over it?

    Round 9: George Groves v Chris Eubank Jr

    If Eubank lands with any of his big lunges, his big swings then Groves will be in trouble. It's a big 'if'.

    Rwitter: Groves is showing his class. He’s just a better boxer, plain and simple. It’s a Groves masterclass so far.

    Gary Jones: Groves taking him to school.

    Round 8: George Groves v Chris Eubank Jr

    Eubank dives in, but gets caught by an alert Groves. But Eubank throws a number of big hooks, none of which seem to land. If you like the boxer, you're loving Groves' work, if you love the aggressor and crazy swings, then Eubank is your man.

    Eubank tries to taunt Groves at the bell, standing in the middle of the ring, laughing at his fellow gladiator.

    Round 8: George Groves v Chris Eubank Jr

    Does Eubank need to resort to plan B? He is wasting energy diving in, it looks ungainly and awkward but if any of these wild swings land then the fight will instantly be transformed.

    Gareth Evans: Eubank Jr being shown up by a much better boxer here. All or nothing gamble on landing a knockout.

    Round 8: George Groves v Chris Eubank Jr

    Groves has certainly been more effective with his punches, but Eubank has thrown more.

    Round 7: George Groves v Chris Eubank Jr

    Another wild, lunging right from Eubank. Once again, George Groves sees him coming and moves out the way. It is ungainly from Eubank, who nearly falls on his face on to the canvas. At the moment he is looking short of ideas on how to actually land anything on his opponent.

    Round 7: George Groves v Chris Eubank Jr

    Another Eubank attack, another failed chance as Groves slips away on to his heels. Frustrating for the man from Sussex. Groves then lands one, Eubank shakes his head, in a 'that-didn't-hurt' way.

    Round 7: George Groves v Chris Eubank Jr

    Halfway through our 12-rounder. At every break in round Eubank's corner dab away at that cut, trying to stem the flow of blood. Into the seventh.

    Round 6: George Groves v Chris Eubank Jr

    Chris Eubank is having to become a bit more attacking and is starting to dive in. He again tries to rough up Groves, with the Londoner forced back on to the ropes. Once again, Groves is smart enough to hold when he needs to hold, duck when he needs to duck and nullify the power.
