look at what jack did to degale
chudinov scraped past sturm twice (or once depending how you look at it) and sturm was well past his best
I had Chudinov winning both those fights with Sturm. Even Medina had success with DeGale. Jack ain't special. Only worry will be Chudinov's inactivity.Quote:

inactivity wont be chudinovs only worry
another one will be groves punching him in the face really hard
If Groves loses this, how many fighters have won a World title at the fifth time of asking? I thought the Froch rematch was must win, I genuinely thought he'd slip into obscurity if he lost. Groves needs to do whatever it takes to get the job done, I dont care if he has to stab him.
Groves is either the shrewdest fighter in the business or Eddie thinks he's a mug. He openly slates Eddie, even at his press conferences, yet always gets a slot on his big cards.
Frank Bugiloni gave Chudinov a decent fight, even had him briefly (very briefly) jelly at one point (clearly lost, but anyone a bit tasty mullers Frank).
Excellent fight but I make Groves a strong favourite. Chudinov doesn't ever move his bonce, is not a banger and is giving Groves a home, height and reach advantage. Groves long jab has to be about 4 rounds in the bank straight away
It's pretty simple between Groves and Hearn. They both act like a pair of grown up guys doing business.Quote:

Groves can't stand Hearn, but knows he can make good money on his shows , so isn't gonna cut off his nose to spite his face.
Neither of them make it personal.
Yeah mate i'm well aware of that.
I was wondering whether Hearn or Groves get the better of the deal? Eddie hasn't advertised or even mentioned Groves fight once. Now obviously he's not his promoter but if he wanted/needed him on the Brook bill i'm sure he'd have made some noise about it.
That'll help. Chudinov may not move his head but Groves ain't too hard to hit either. Buglioni hit him after the bell in that fight.Quote:

Lucky for us. If I was cynical I would say that like it or not Kell is not box office stuff.Quote:
