    Default Groves v Kessler

    I have to say, in his prime, Kessler may have been too much for groves down the stretch

    could be a good defence for the saint now tho

    Groves could beat AA with ease and Kessler needs to show what he has first before stepping into a title fight.

    I would much prefer Groves v Eubank Junior.

    I think I would quite like that........because Groves would fucking hammer the useless twat!!!!! Having said that , I wouldn't want Eubank to get the payday, he doesn't deserve it.

    George Groves thinks he's bigger than he is - James DeGale



    George Groves "thinks he is bigger than he is" and does not deserve "a 50/50 split" from a rematch, says the man he beat in 2011, James DeGale.

    The 31-year-old made the comments as he revealed he will be out "for a while" to undergo right shoulder surgery.

    Degale is the IBF super-middleweight champion, while fellow Briton Groves holds the WBA super-middleweight belt.

    "Groves has gone backwards," said DeGale. "I'm not being disrespectful but he's not got the same sharpness."

    London 2012 Olympic gold medallist DeGale added: "He has, however, fulfilled his dream of becoming world champion and it makes our potential rematch even bigger."

    "Negotiations will be difficult and the terms will have to be right for the fight to be made."

    Groves, who beat DeGale six years ago to win the British super-middleweight title in a majority points decision, won a world title at the fourth attempt by stopping Russian Fedor Chudinov last month to claim the WBA belt.

    DeGale's last outing saw a unification fight between him and Sweden's Badou Jack end in a controversial majority draw.

    DeGale said a fight scheduled for 1 July had been agreed with Callum Smith but that he "decided to go down the WBC route and will challenge for the vacant world title later this year".

    On his injury, he added: "My arm will be in a sling for a few days and I'll be given exercises to do on my own.

    "A few weeks later, I'll start my rehab with my physio and within eight to 10 weeks I should be able to spar. I will definitely be able to fight before the end of the year."

    Now these days it feels as if my life is speeding ahead at an alarming pace but I'm surprised this was only 6 years ago, I would have guessed at 8

    I still remember that fight, my mate went mad at me cuz he found out I was trying in on with his cousin

    Groves would get a heap of sh-t if he fought Kessler. Does he have to fight Zeuge soon?

    Groves has worked his arse off getting the belt..if a Kessler fight gets him a load of money as his first defence after Breaking his jaw then that's fine until Degale is ready.

    Groves has fought better fighters than the majority at 168.

    Agree Groves deserves a gimme but Kessler has no right being anywhere near a title shot. If Paul Smith keeps getting shots then I could see how Kessler could get the (cough) opportunity.

    ​Prime Kessler would have battered George to a 7th round stoppage.
