George Groves-vs-Mexican road sweeper (on Marquez undercard)

[Fenster]

He momentarily looked troubled when caught in the first. Hit the guy with everything including the kitchen sink yet didn't even wobble him. Thought the stoppage was OK because the guy was never gonna get the nod but he could have made it to the end.

I think Groves has cloned Haye's style too much. He doesn't throw enough punches for a super middleweight. Don't think he clumps as hard as he thinks.

Thoughts?

I genuinely think a lot of journeyman fighters in the states would probably be at a similar level to most British or on the odd occasion European champions.

Was definitely wobbled early on with that temple shot, but he did ok afterwards. Looks like he lacks something to me, though to be really top class.

I don't think you need add anything to this analogy , it pretty much says it all.

I haven't seen the fight. I've seen him look impressive against low level Brit fighters but then I've seen Daniel Jacobs look outstanding against better quality US fighters. Let's see how he looks in a few fights against a decent level of opposition. Him and De Gale both have a lot to do to convince me they can be anything better than British/Euro level.

[No Contest]

He threw some good combos, but he's another one who thinks hes a prime RJJ. He keeps his lead left low, and he can get away with it against these guys hes currently fighting cuz hes quicker. I think its a lazy habit, some say it helps their speed, but I think it helps em get knocked out.

I hope Groves builds himself up for a big domestic showdown with Degale.
