Ranked 32 on Boxrec, If Frank was promoted Groves last 3 fights everyone would be getting sued for slagging him off. Gotta love new age promoting

Groves' opposition has been terrible since he left FW.

Noe Gonzales is the name he goes by.

A chinny puncher, so could be fun.

As far as who is available right now, and the fact its on the undercard, its not a completely bad fight and he is well ranked.

He lives in Argentina though.

What's with Hearn and these weak South Americans? They are not interesting opponents, at all.

Surely this doesn't warrant Chief support. In fairness to Hearn he is leaving the decisions to Booth.

I think Bellew vs Chilemba II is chief support.

I wouldn't mind if they just told us the result of this Groves fight and spent more time in the studio hyping the main event.

Nobody can really count Groves last two fights because thet were knock over jobs designed to keep him busy,this fight however is poor and I am dissapointed because we were lead to believe it would be far better.

Yes, it is a 50-50 fight with a story.

It's a much better fight than Groves vs this no mark he's fighting.

The only reason it's on this show is that SKY wouldn't sign off on it as headline fight and it's never good when your fighting at home in the second biggest fight of your career and people are leaving during the fight

Just because the first fight was boring it doesn't mean the second fight will be. It could be a fight of the year contender.

Chilemba has a style which is all wrong for Bellew and at world level he hasn't got the power to blast anyone away, Bellew is going to take the centre off the ring and try and jab his way to victory, whilst Chilemba will try and pot shot his way to victory


This fight will never be a fight of the year candidate

The fact is started so late did not help. Or the fact due to scousers and Mancs fighting no alcohol was sold.

Why is nobody suggesting Brian Magee? I'd love that fight for Groves, tactical and a good gatekeeper.

Never expected it to be a big name. Hearn has had to lay out a bomb financially to get Kessler over here.
