Sparring

[mikeeod]

Groves seems to be a much larger man. He is a large 168 pounder, n GGG probably should be fighting at 154, and is rather small at middle. Groves is notorious for not being very good in sparring, so from that perspective, it would shock me a little. I don't put much stock in a sparring performance or mishap though, remember when Spadafora got the better of Floyd during that one session?!?

I agree Groves is the bigger man, and I agree sparring and fighting are totally different, but
it's a mater of interest if GGG moves up in weight, I like GGG and Groves.
Just a talking point adds a bit of spice to the game.

Not heard this one but I know that Murata was very complimentary about Golovkin's power and the training camp.

Rumour Eubanks Junior gave Groves a black eye before his fight with De Gale.

Was that not John Ryder?

Why should GG be fighting at 154?

It's not like he moved to 160 from WW or Jr WW.
He began his career at MW.

Dude is almost 6 feet.

Stop trying to make GG into some tiny little guy that can barely make the weight.
