He's lucky Rebrasse isn't a puncher.
George is punching himself out.
He (Groves) is setting that pace though. If he stops the Frenchman I suppose he still won't be tough enough?Quote:

He is setting the pace. I didn't realise that Rebrasse had such a low KO percentage. Would be why they made the fight. I suppose he feels he can throw everything at him and if he tires as usual late then its not so bad because its not a banger.
Groves doesn't look great in this fight thus far.
Groves is puffing a bit so I know where you are coming from Ross but I think you can get stopped by Froch and still be tough enough.
This is getting rather repetitive. Rebrasse needs to do something, he has not won 30 seconds yet, yet alone a round. Groves is 6-0 up.
Groves has won every round I've seen. At the same time, Groves doesn't look as explosive as he has in the past and more tentative. Is it just me?
Maybe he thinks hes a massive puncher or feels he need sto impress but to me hes now fucked himself. The signs are there taking little walks now, holding. Hes done too much unneccasary work.
Groves once again wins the round. SKY trying to spin it closer, but it is not; Groves 7-0.
Groves may finally be breaking through. Rebrasse acknowledges Groves for the first time. 8/0.
I think this will go to points.
It will go to points.
From what I've seen, I'd continue to rebuild Groves for a couple more fights before he challenges for a world title again.
Groves wins once again. But the Frenchman looks like has a bit more life in him. Groves 9/0.
Groves' hands are going to hurt in the morning. Rebrasse's chin is solid, I think Master was right about the need for George to go to the body. Anyway it is now 10-0.
Groves 11-0. Will Rebrasse give it a go? Groves did looked a little sloppy in eleventh.
I think it safe to say we have a new Champ. Groves 120/108 for me.
That was a hard fight for Groves but it was a solid opponent.
It has been bugging all fight, but I finally remember who Rebrasse reminds me of in both style and look: Who remembers Zeljiko Mavrovic?
I am actually surprised he managed to keep up a work rate! He looked knackered very early.
He still gets caught far too much. Got hurt to the body a couple of times but this is the kind of fight he needed before facing Froch. Just feel what its like to have to work over the distance. Johson offered nothing really.
He wont win a world title. All the champions are too powerfull, even Ward.
118-110 twice and 117-111 Groves officially.
Hmmmm...Quote:

Sooooo, according to Froch and Bellew Groves can't beat Abraham but Paul Smith can.
Styles make fights and all that but even so that is some serious bollocks.
Yeah, both talking shit. Froch beat Groves twice but he still gets riled by him. As for Bellew, well the sooner he gets ironed out by Cleverley the better.Quote:

All the champions and recent ex champions are tough. Boxing is a sport where tough people prevail.Quote:
