Cheers fo getting back to me so quickly. Ive heard a lot about the drinking problems, thats being doing the rounds. But I hadnt heard about other drugs (coke) although I guess thats part of the drink/drugs problem. I hadnt heard anything about him getting done over in sparring though. Is that sparring recent in the training camp for this fight or back when he was an alcoholic and in his time off etcQuote:

He made no secret of it, at least after the Katsidis fight & I've heard it discussed by at least half a dozen people who definitely would know. It's a shame because he was a nice talent & what a boost it would've been for the guys at West Ham, of whom there's at least a couple I can think of who look like they could make excellent pros.Quote:

I mean I'd heard that Groves was having a tough time prior to the DeGale fight, not just with the likes of Dirrell, but was reportedly not having an easy go of it against Chris Eubank Jr. But given the result & having seen Chris Jr live, I can see why it would have been a benefit.Quote:

His mum (who he lives with) was busted for dealing coke a few months back. Rumour was he was mixed up in it.
From what I've heard he's back to a strict regime, but I still don't think he's going to have enough to win.
I'm on my way to watch this at the echo any1 else from uk going?
From the sound of things Murray will win as he has lived a more disciplined life.
How good is Chris Jr?Quote:
