Groves boxed well tonight and had no real issues with JR.
After the shoulder heals and he potentially wins the tournament..how much longer can go he stay in boxing and what else can he achieve?
Unify or move up in weight?

He wont beat Braehmer or Smith on that performance.
Too slow, too inaccurate, too weak a finisher.
Fix the shoulder and win the final
How bad is ITV. Not one commentator noticed Groves fighting with arm and a great lump on his shoulder. Shit show, apart from Naz who obviously had a load of wedge on Jnr and a lot of Colombian up his bugle.
I think he beats both.Quote:

If he's dislocated his shoulder, forget about the final. Rehab then fight basically whoever he wants to fight. Everybody else knows that to taken seriously, they have to beat Groves.
With a $50 million pot on the line i'm pretty sure Groves wants a part of the final.
His lawyers went into overdrive the second his shoulder broke.
I'm particularly confident Braehmer has the style to give him kittens, so you have a challenge should the old boy get through the Smith fight.Quote:

I think shane and Groves will master a plan to beat the winner.
There ain't no $50 million pot on the line. The winner gets just over £4 million and the loser gets half that.Quote:

3. Unification against on of the other champions.
The WBSS Needs to get a decent replacement for Groves to give the tournament, which has been an overwhelming success so far credibility. If Groves was in the final, there was a title on the line. If Sauerlands screw their loaf, they should try to get Truax. That way , there will still be a title on the line. And then whoever wins, fights Groves in a unification for 3 titles, WBA , IBF and most important of all...................the IBO!!!;D;D;D
I think the WBSS needs to extend the dates..putting someone else in there makes no sense at all.
Groves beat Cox and JR and has earned his place in the final...the WBSS must wait.
They will wait, injuries happen and it will be taken into consideration.Quote:
