He's fighting tomorrow night and then again in six weeks
He's been out for 9 months and has promised to shine
IMO he will be a world champ in 2013, can see him having a trilogy with James degale in the years to come
I'm looking forward to watching his career
far.Quote:

A future major belt holder. Not a calzaghe or anything but...
Yeah he seems a good guy
His interviews with filmlondon are funny
YouTube them there quality
Yeah but how old was adamu ey?
Who cares he's beat everybody that's been put in front of him so far
Wouldn't be surprised if Sierra knocked him out
Good call there VD almost as good as your prediction that Froch would have to rely on an undeserved home town desicion against Bute.Quote:

That was a tough fighter he was in against last night, not great but tough. Groves was landing some big shots and he was just absorbing them. Great combination to finish it though. Groves seems like a genuinely nice bloke but when he has an opponent stunned and hurt he goes in for the finish without hesitation, just like a real fighter should.
He was a bit too wild at times, and does take some unecessary shots himself but he takes them well. There was some ring rust which was to be expected but he landed the best shots when it mattered. He covered up well on the ropes and knew when to hold. Good movement in general.
I just hope he doesn't look past the Kenny Anderson's of the world as he makes his way towards bigger fights because it could be disastrous. I definitely think he has the potential to be a Froch calibre of fighter. He likes a tear up but fights intelligently.
He has a good jab, and some great power in his right. A bit too right hand happy sometimes, could be worthwhile developing his power shots with the left a bit more but nothing major. As long as he stays on top of his fitness and doesn't lose focus I believe he can reach world title level. Injuries have been a problem lately apparently, hopefully that's all sorted.
Does anyone know if that cut has meant his September fight will be getting pushed back, I know it wasn't a terrible cut but will it have healed sufficiently in time?
He has been THE last word on british super middle weights on this forum for years!Quote:

Anyone heard of any outright confirmation that the September fight is off due to the cut?
Booth said that the September fight won't happen now because this cut is going to take 4 weeks to heal and that's 4 weeks Groves can't spar.
So hopefully it will happen in October or something, it's a shame I want this Kenny Anderson farce to go away now. But Groves can't help having a massive noggin smashing him in the head I guess.
I was really impressed with the way Groves finished Sierra off, very aggressive with the combinations. Reminded me of Haye vs Chisora alot. Kind of like controlled blasts with both hands to stop him. Great stuff. Can't help but think he does look a punch away from being stopped sometimes though as he takes a lot too many when he loads up himself.
Always a pleasure to watch though, and like the above comment, I'm not interested in the Anderson fight, don't get that at all to be honest. Groves had a bad night and still stopped him. Reckon Groves stops him in great fashion a second time round.
33 i think. Adamu at any age is not on groves' level.Quote:

I thought that was a good performance. When he's under pressure he throws more punches. He always looks better when his hands are going instead of looking for one dynamite punch.
I think any of the top 7 super middles would have no trouble with groves, I like him but he is very predictable.
Arthur Abraham would takes all his shots and stop him.
Well he's young and has had what 16 pro fights or so? So he shouldn't be in with the top 7 yet as I would expect mosst any fighter in any weight class with 16 pro fights to loose to the top....Quote:

Thing is Bute wasn't chinless. If he was he would have ended the fight on his arse. I always thought Bute was overrated and said so. Thanks for the lesson though. I like your humble unassuming style.
He just doesn't want to give Froch any credit for the win.
Hes still a baby....Quote:

Abraham has real problems fighting guys who are significantly bigger than him. He covers up as best he can and when he gets a chance to throw shots he looks like the Energizer Bunny. How much bigger is Groves than Abraham? Can't even be bothered to look. I don't think Abraham does anything north of 160 and I'm not sold on Groves even reaching alphabet level yet.
As a person, George is a nice guy,I no having spoken to him at the Haye v Ruiz fight, to put it he is
still 12 fight novice. Regardless of him being World ranked, how can you say a 12 fight novice is
this or that, when you are far from the finished article. He has faults yes but judging, at this point
in his career is frankly daft.He has a lot to learn, given time who no's a World Champion in the
making you never no.;)
