Groves-Di Luica/Ryder-Khomitsky/Hibbert-Martin - Saturday/Sky Sports. Fact.

[Master]

Groves should go for AA and win the title with ease.

[Primo Carnera]

Ryder doesnt have enough to beat this fellow.

He made a fool of Buglioni and showed where he is at world level. Nowhere.

Ah, ok then!

Ah, ok then!

Fucking hell Primo give it a rest you weirdo. I can give you my email so you can snd your shit direct without boring everyone if you want?

I get the feeling you were rabidly waiting on the result of this. I havent watched any of this fight. I watched bits of the last couple of rounds of the Groves fight inbetween start g to watch the first series of only fools and horses and Groves is not world class.

Ha ha, you talk shit, don't like being corrected and I'm a weirdo? I'll keep that one for future reference , clown!

[Primo Carnera]

Anyway, enough of that twat!
on another point, Martyn Murray wants Groves? Has he beat a SMW in the top 100? Why doesn't he call Callum Smith out?

[beenKOed]

What happened?

Are you still without Satellite channels?

Relying on you twats to tell me what is happening.

I'm thinking Master isn't known as a big spender!

I think Groves-Murray is a terrific matchup.

My initial thoughts are to slighty favour Murray. His form in defeat against genuine top drawer world-class fighters is arguably superior to 75% of the current UK "world" champs.

I highly doubt either of them will face Callum Smith unless a title was on the line.

I believe Groves beats Murray. George is all round better than Murray.

[Silkeyjoe]

Id say Groves beat Murray pretty easily. Murray doesnt have the power to trouble Groves and stylewise looks perfect for Groves. Groves Callum would be a fantastic fight.

[Primo Carnera]

First of all, I like Martyn Murray , and he's got to earn the best money he can because it's his career, so I don't blame him. But , he didn't deserve a world title shot at SMW because he's beaten nobody at this weight, and he doesn't deserve a shot at Groves. I think it's a backward step for Groves and a lose-lose fight.
Murray should be fighting the likes of Paul Smith, Buglioni , Feigenbutz , Rebrasse.
The only 2 Brits I think Groves should be looking at are DeGale for obvious reasons and I hate to say it , but Callum Smith . I think the Smith fight is risky for both of them (more for Groves) , hence I don't think it'll happen until one of them is World Champ.
The reason I hate to say it is because I reckon both of these fighters are near the top of the division and one would have to take a backward step, and I like them both.
But, like Silkeyjoe said, it would be a great scrap.

No facts to back this up but I would guess Groves has a decent ranking as he just lost a world title fight. If this is the case it makes sense for Groves as could be an eliminator or even final eliminator.

Groves is a good 6 round fighter after that he struggles he does seem to run out of gas, will he be Champion yes maybe the division is not blessed with any outstanding talent.
George could just be a nearly man as some are but boxing is a funny old game.

He tries to be dynamic and a puncher and suffers as a result. Like a marathon bolting off at the head of the pack only to start flagging halfway through rather than knowing how to calm down a bit and pace himself better.

Not sure why Murray doesn't "deserve" to fight Groves? He lost two tight decisions against top world-class fighters and got chinned by Golovkin (although taking him 11 rounds is worth a medal in itself).

Groves has a win over DeGale when they were novices, got ironed by Froch and lost against Jack.

Murray doesn't need to prove anything to get a fight with anyone at supermiddle. Especially someone that doesn't even have a "world" title. He's not a puncher and doesn't have the most exciting style but - barring the freak that is GGG - he's not a walkover for anyone at middle/supermiddle.

It's not so much about "deserving Groves" , per say. It's more about
a.) as far as SMW Goes, he isn't on Groves level. What does Groves have to gain from this? and
b.) there are other guys who've worked their bollocks off in their careers at SMW that aren't getting these fights. A decent example of this is his stable mate Rocky Fielding. Now, you could say "he got ironed out early last time out!" Well tbh if Murray fought Callum Smith, who's to say the same wouldn't happen?
Like I said, there are decent fights out there for him that I mentioned before that would earn him decent money AND make him more credible in the division.
Like I said, at SMW , he has beaten nobody in the top 100! And I could easily be as dismissive of his sob story achievements as you were of Groves's.
