Gotta be Groves last roll of the dice surely, he wants the Degale fight badly so this is a must win..!
Don't know much about Gutknecht other than he's challenged for a title before at Light Heavy and has a 37% KO kind of non power ;D

I will be doing round by round for this. :cool:
Barry is the best.
Anyone watching with me?
What time are ring walks ?
It is on TV now with the main event probably on in a bit.
Ring walk is now
Im on it, only stopped once due to a cut this Gutknecht and one of the only men to beat Golovkin in the Amateurs.
Could be a tough night for Groves after all ;)
They are announcing the fighters
Haye is in the crowd
Eduard trying to ruffle Groves by charging straight after the bell. Groves jab is beautiful.
Groves win 2nd too with the jab.
3rd round closer and Groves getting caught on the ropes with right hand
Groves hurt him in the 4th and should have put more pressure on him. Groves let him off.
Groves looking slick.
German looks tough I hope Groves doesn't gas.
Groves boxes beautifully to win the 5th round with ease.
Groves wins 6th round but he looks open to the big right hand that Froch landed when he knocked George out.
George wins 7th round Gutknect is too slow to cause Groves problems
Groves wins 8th in competitive round just hope he does not tire in the last few rounds.
Groves batters Gutknect and closes his eye in the 9th. Groves could stop him next round.
Groves slowed down and just throwing power shots. Opponent survives the 10th round bloodied.
Gutknecht was battered and almost nearly stopped in the 11th. Groves should step up and stop him but he could not take chances and win on points. Let's see what he does.
Groves takes no chances in the last but will get the decision.
Groves is a quality Boxer with a huge variety of shots. But you can never be sure he isn't going to gas or get KO'd . Every time he takes a shot , you hold your breath.
But make no mistake, he is class. Interesting what he says is next .
Yeah Groves Jab is a real weapon, super fast too but against a puncher he's vulnerable and seems to lose concentration at times, Staggers forward a bit and can seem wide open.
Tough German fighting the last few rounds with one eye but Groves did really well and impressed me.
He's proving a decent trainer is Shane McGuigan, really clam in the corner too.
Andrew Selby next. This guy is moving up the ladder very quickly.
Dunno why they're not trying to get shows in Wales with him and his Brother heading them. They could go viral!
Selby is world class. Brilliant fighter.
Good little card this evening, Groves looking good, though maybe wanted to KO Gutknecht. Good performance all in all, although it looks like Gutknecht collapsed in the changing room after the fight and is currently in hospital. Hope he is okay, I'm sure we will find out as soon as they release anymore info.
Selby looking good, he's not really been troubled by anyone so far, and doesn't look like many guys want in between the ropes with him. Would love him and Lee to be double heading a bill when they have two world titles. However, because of personalities, Lee especially being quite shy and quiet outside the ring, I'm not sure they can really pack out a stadium like Joe C did in his heyday. I do reckon they could make some good small to medium halls fill out though, maybe the CIA or the Ice Arena Wales in Cardiff (both 3-5k I would imagine.)
Sad news - Gutknecht stopped breathing in the Ambulance - fingers crossed he pulls through
