I'm picking Johnson to win by ko or stoppage.
I think it will be far harder than it's supposed to be for Groves. I have Groves via close/controversial decision.
P.S It's weird having a new avatar isn't it?Quote:

I agree, but it'll be the toughest fight either him or DeGale will have had, which is essentially what both their careers are based on now. They will never be seperated.Quote:

If he wins, advantage Groves, what you got DeGale?
Johnson looks so fucking old though.do u think he will have much left?
I dont.Quote:

Groves will get a stoppage over a name that will look good but realistically, Johnson is a shell and Groves will still be fragile. Id see Froch stopping Groves. Iv seen someone mention Groves has good stamina but against who?
I think groves will stop him late on. And I agree it will be a good name on his record but we will not know anything new about George groves. Problem for groves and degale in this weight class is it's such a huge jump in class when you Start talking about the big names like ward,froch, Kessler
Groves isn't bute!Quote:

And Johnson fucked his arm up in that fight early so he only had the jab!
The polish guy is a quality fighter that would stop groves.
I like groves but Johnson can cut him easy and pressure him to hell.
Johnson is getting stopped. He is coming down in weight and Groves is a better fighter than the polish lad who has a couple of losses.Quote:

Groves does mark up cuts etc, he has a good dig Johnson is past his sell by date but he can punch a bit,
I can see it being tough but Groves wins on points.
I said he has the stamina advantage.Quote:

Groves will win a wide points decision. No way he stops Johnson, he's a road warrior.
Froch really must have ruined Johnson if groves is to win
Who is he?Quote:

Sprott just beat Gerber in Germany.
I'm going with Johnson in a Thompson v Hayes type scenario.
Anyone watching the undercard? Smith/O Meara on now.
What time is the Johnson fight on ??
No idea but the boxnation coverage finishes at 11:30. So I assume with no Burns it will be about 10:30 to 11ish. That is a total guess though.Quote:

Ive only seen him last month against Wilson and he wasnt too impressive in that fight, he must have a lot to learn if hes losing to Sprott.Quote:

I like Saunders too.
I'll like him even more if he stops Blackwel after the 6th
Blackwell hurt him to the body there
Cert KO coming up. Facy.
Fucks sake commontater JOnes almost apologise for giving Blackwell the round
Saunders looking like a fat powderpuff middleweight
Warren just called for his pills
Saunders just doesn't seem to have the stopping power his kind of punch output would usually be rewarded with. Points win looks more likely than a KO.
Pretty impressed with Blackwell here. Saunders is just running away at this point.
Blackwell must have broke tje wolrd piroet record there? imporesive>
(: are you wearing gloves or have you had a tipple?Quote:

I was watching the clock thinking Blackwell still had a good chance of a stoppage as there was half a minute left and Sauders was getting caught then the fucking round ends about 21 seconds early!! At least the commentators made a point of mentioning it.
Saunders isnt a middle weight and any strong experienced middle will stop him. He needs to move down a weight.
If you gave Blackwell 3 rounds you were being generous, 5? You were obviously pissed.
Johnson is ridiculously old and looking less and less effective, but I am supporting the road warrior as I hate attempts to get a name like this.
Even though you're not a betting man you'd could safely, and I mean safely, put your money on me wearing my boxing gloves. Booze has nothing to do with it. Fact.Quote:
