Groves injured, pulls out of Steglitz bout

[TigerFan]

This could be a blessing in disguise for Groves. If he were to beat Stieglitz (which is no guarantee) he would have to face Abraham in his first defense. Abraham, while being faded still has a punch and big promotional backing which could send Groves back to Germany. Artur is a big star over there and the Sauerlands seem hell bent on getting him a title...even shipping Kessler up to 175.

Just checked Groves' boxrec page and it says he's fighting Anderson again in late June Has this been confirmed. He could use a bit more seasoning like this before mixing with the top guys.
