Groves should be gunning for a 1st round KO in this one. :box:

I know it's been said a few times before but if Degale wins tomorrow night and Groves gets the win later in the year. That unification rematch is absolutely huge and a must-go-to event for me.

I was gonna say exactly this. Surely on a big Vegas undercard.

Fair play to Jack for winning a world title,Dirrell was crap though,I had it a draw but there was no doubt Badou wanted it more,I don't know if Anthony was injured going in but it was a pretty pathetic showing from him and I thought he was better than that

In saying that I'm still not completely sold on Jack,I think Groves beats him comfortable and should stop him,although I remember saying this when Dirrell fought him

Will be quite an intriguing fight I think. Both can hit, both can be knocked out.

Groves should win. But he hasn't looked as good post-Froch, so we'll need him to bounce back.

Can't see Groves losing this at all. If he fights like he did against Degale he will win wide on points, if he fights like he did against Froch he will stop him (possibly early), even if he fights like he did against Rebrasse he should still have enough about him to beat Jack.

Badou Jack is bang average. Even the laboured and sloppy Groves we saw against Brasso and Mummy's Boy should beat him.

I don't consider it even a world title fight, infact it's a mockery. A swede vs a Brit in America ? I'm assuming it will be an undercard fight too.

Dirrell vs Degale, now that's a proper title fight.

True, and if Groves doesn't win this one he may as well retire.

I think Jack is made for Groves whatever tactics the Swede employs

And the new......

100% behind Groves to win this one. Jack is an ok 'gatekeeper ' kind of fighter in my mind. Groves won't get a better chance.

George is simply too much faster for Badou Jack. I see the english man winning in the 6/7 round via KO.
