George Groves-vs-Grandpa Johnson Dec 15th. Fact.

[nuggetdotcom]

Not sure Glen Johnson will come here again, he was robbed twice here against Clinton Woods, then a fight was set up with calslappy who pulled out with 'a bad back' at the last minute. At the time I read that the cancellation cost him £100k in expenses as he and his entourage were all in the country. The subsequent rumour that there was nothing wrong with Calslappys back, it was that he had been carted off by the police a week before the fight after a row with his then wife (now replaced by a model).
So don't be surprised if Glen's enthusiasm for coming over here is not as high as our promoters think.

JC, classy as ever

Seriously though, this fight seems so surreal. Watching Johnson vs Hopkins on grainy VHS quality and now seeing him in 2012 in the ring vs George Groves who I've watched a few times as an amateur in York Hall. Very strange, the unlikeliest of meetings from different eras. In his prime, Johnson would be too gritty for Groves in my opinion but if he still has an ounce of that grit left, then he may at least provide a small test for George. At least I hope that's the logic in Groves camp otherwise what's the point?
