Groves gets a 4th Shot!

[Master]

Idiot.

I think Groves wins too but he faces Degale, which would be very poetic.

The DeGale/Jack winner is Mandated to fight Smith and Matchroom won't step aside. Are you saying DeGale beats Jack,Smith and then fights Groves? And who wins between Groves and DeGale?

Yes to the above and Groves beats De gale again.

I hope Groves wins it, I've always thought he's a bit of a prick but fairs, fair, he's paid his dues. It's got decision written all over it. Chudinov is a hard cunt and will keep coming all night long, but Groves is by far the classier and should be able to control him.

In short, even Groves can't mess this one up.

Groves is a nice guy I remember talking to him in the M E N believe it or not. They are determined to make him a Champ it seems.

He deserves the shot

1-unfairly/at the very least controversialy stopped against froch
2-KTFO by a cracking punch which would have leveled many a fighter, hr was on top at the time
3-close fight I had him winning

He hasn't been outclassed in any of his championship fights, yeah he looks like he has stamina issues when it gets into the later rounds but I have certainly seen worse world champs (especially in today's climate) and he seems like he marches to his own beat,he was with channel 5,box nation and sky but has never allowed himself to be tied down to one promoter.

I hope he gets the belt and I think he will.

P.s he does come across as a bit of a cunt and he is mates with David Haye so I should really dislike him immensely

[Master]

He is also a Chelsea fan so I should hate him too but just rate Groves because he is funny, great jab and good boxer.

George Groves says the injuries sustained by Eduard Gutknecht in their super-middleweight bout will haunt him until he retires from boxing.

Briton Groves beat Gutknecht on points in December and the German was taken to hospital with a bleed on the brain.

Gutknecht's wife Julia revealed in April that the 34-year-old was not able to walk or talk.

"Selfishly, while I'm still fighting I'm always going to struggle with his situation," Groves told 5 live boxing.

"It's a horrible thing. I struggle with it, my wife struggles with it."

In her interview in Germany, Gutknecht's wife said he had made "little progress" and had also had "several strokes".

She explained the right hemisphere of his brain - which controls the left side of the body - is "almost completely damaged" and she also highlighted her battle to finance home care.

Groves, who visited Gutknecht in hospital, said he had not seen him since the German left the UK.

"It's very distressing," the 29-year-old said. "We don't know if his situation will deteriorate or if anything will happen.

"We feel for him, his wife, kids and family. It's horrible."

London-born Groves has not fought since that bout but will go for his first world title when he meets Russian Fedor Chudinov at Bramall Lane in Sheffield on 27 May.

The contest is part of the undercard as Britain's Kell Brook, who is from Sheffield, defends his IBF world welterweight title against American Errol Spence Jr and will be Groves' fourth attempt at winning a world crown.

I was gonna say what @Master has posted regarding Groves last fight, Gutknecht is pretty much a vegetable after suffering brain damage in their last fight, he can't walk or talk and the entire left side of his body barely works and is showing no signs of ever working again.<br>Is this gonna effect Groves mentally especially against a fighter like Chudinov who will just keep coming at him relentlessly to the point where Groves will have to beat him and beat him exactly like he did Gutknecht in order to win.<br>Hope Groves can hold it together and win because to be fair he deserves a world title
