Gutknecht was a very solid EBU level fighter at LHW, though I'm not sure what he's got now, and how he'll fare moving down. Not an interesting opponent but not a horrible one either.

Be prepared to continually hear about how he beat GGG in the amateurs...I see Boxing News Online already has an article on it.

[PredatorHayds]

Groves by mid-late stoppage.

Gutkneckt starting to look like a high end gatekeeper now.

[littlepug]

is this a title fight ?

[craigjenkins05]

Sounds like it's just a keep busy fight while they see what happens with chudinov and the WBA title

[Furey]

Stay busy fight for Groves to continue to build momentum off the back of the Brophy and Murray fights until the messy WBA situation is resolved.

[THEBUTCH]

Solid fight, 2 class boxers and on Channel 5 for everyone to watch. Surprised it's on a Friday.

Great exposure for Groves on terrestial TV.

There's some Channel 5 boxing on next Friday, as well. (21st).

Maybe Channel 5 are just moving to Friday night shows. It'd mean less competition from Sky Sports shows, I guess.

This fight should be nothing more than an undercard fight at best. How they expect to sell tickets to this I don't know.

Does George Groves still have a big following, or am I missing something?

Somebody must think he does, it's at Wembley Arena.

groves decision for me , i think if groves can bang him out will be a good win for hin

[handsofstone]

I know Gutknecht has been fighting at LHW for a while now and mixing with some decent fighters,he had his moments in the Braehmer rematch but I think he'll find Groves too sharp at SMW especially if he's drained at the weight,Gutknecht is usually pretty durable but I think Groves can stop him just after the halfway mark

[bripez]

I don't know how he managed it, but he comes across as even more unlikeable that Degale.

I initially supported him when he boxed Degale and both Froch fights, but now I actually root for the opponent - I might be fickle but he comes across as a right nob.

I don't mind him but his taste in suits is horrendous, actually his dress sense in general is pretty shocking

What has he said/done that makes him come across unlikeable and a nob?

Are you GG in disguise? A relation? Every time someone says something against him you seem to pop up

[Fitzy901]

Why has this guy he is boxing suddenly decided to come down to Super-Middleweight so late on his career?

Seems strange to me and only asking for trouble.

Not as bad as his taste in tattoos. A Gingerbread Man and a lucky cat? Just no.

good point , not many fighters come down as their career goes on.

Not impossible though, Enzo Mac and glen Johnson both did it and remained competitive at a decent level

Not strictly true is it? I take each comment as it comes. GG has been berated on here many times and I don't comment. I just feel that if someone makes a claim of liking or disliking a boxer it's genuinely interesting to know what that boxer does to make someone like or not like them. In some boxers it's obvious but in GG I personally just don't see it. Maybe I have rose tinted glasses on...

You're bound to have your rose tinted glasses on with you being a relation and all

Nah I'm kidding mate. My comment was tongue in cheek because you have dug me up a couple of times over GG comments
