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?
