Groves v Smith to be held in Saudi Arabia

[Master]

2-2 now for me.

We got there in the end.

[Primo Carnera]

Groves wins the 5th, but I have to say , Smith looks very comfortable. 3-2 Groves

[Master]

5th round both missing a lot and posturing but Groves was busier with the jab and causing some damage. The illegal leg sweep was good.

3-2 Groves

[Primo Carnera]

Smith wins the 6th. They’re probably both connecting with as much as each other , but Smith’s are having more impact.

[Primo Carnera]

Wow! I never saw that coming. Groves will retire now surely. He didn’t want to get up , shaking his head at 7. He’s only 30, but it feels like he’s at the end.
There was talk of retirement after whichever way it went, and I never like that. It has to affect the mindset.
Bit gutted now.

I did not realise Groves was talking of retirement but his chin is suspect at times and he was wobbled in this fight a number of times.

Smith fought a good intelligent fight.

Hold my hands up... didn't think Smith had that in him but he used his 6 inch reach advantage to perfection... Groves just like against Froch had stamina probs for me. Great finish great stoppage kudos Smith. 😎

Callum Smith looked very reassured in their. It’ll be interesting to see who he fights now. Probably a defence followed by getting someone from the other side of the pond to Anfield bext summer.
As for Groves, whatever he decides, I hope he stays happy. He’s given me a lot of pleasure over the years and has been a very skilful fighter. The only regret is that he didn’t get what he deserved in the 1st Froch fight.

[Primo Carnera]

I said on here many years ago that Callum Smith would be a 2 weight World Champion. As time went on, he stagnated a touch and I began to have my doubts.
But I have to say, LHW at World level is a stacked division at the moment, and if he can keep making weight, stay at SMW for now .

I tried frantically to find a stream for this one and just couldn’t. What did Groves deserve in the first Froch fight, though? It’s not like he was stopped in the dying seconds of it, he was done and there was plenty of time left. Froch was a terrific finisher as much as anything else, that fight being seen as controversial is about as ridiculous as anything in boxing in recent years, especially with hindsight.

[Master]

Groves enjoying himself in the 6th.

Sharp and hurtful jab from Groves and Smith not doing as much.

4-2 Groves

[Beanz]

Wow

[Master]

Smith stops Groves in the 7th landing a big left hook that hurt George and finished him off with combinations.

Groves nodded his head as if he knew he could not get up.

That was quick and unexpected.

Right round, wrong guy
