Round-By-Round - George Groves vs. Eduard Gutknecht - November 18th 2016

[boxref]

Groves' protector is very high.

[Neil Gee]

Groves 5 up

[rd350lc]

be suprised if he comes out for the next round

[Ricky_]

That eye is a mess. Fighters should be stoppdd with injuries like that.

[ILikeBeer]

Remember in 2000ish, when BBC put boxing on? You had John Inverdale annoying everyone.

I used to watch that on my portable telly at university.

[rossij8]

Groves has got some lovely skills

Taking over here

He's class

I reckon a degale rematch is still a solid 50/50

[Boxerbeetle]

Corner should pull Gutknecht out now really.

[rd350lc]

Corner should pull Gutknecht out now really.

yep pointless battering going on now .

[Neil Gee]

Groves 6 up with 2 to go. It's going the distance as long as Gutkneckt's eye holds up.

I'd like to see eddy in with Callum smith

[Boxing Prospect]

The energy levels are flat

would be interesting , he's one tough mother

[rd350lc]

Goves...looks....crap....

Hmmmm.............

[Fearful_Freddie]

Groves looked decent there I thought.

[rd350lc]

looked great to me.

[Neil Gee]

Not that impressed with GG tonight.

I'm puzzled by Gutkneckt. If he can do 12 rounds like that at super-middle why did he spend the last 6 years at LH?

[rossij8]

Groves looked really good
Good cards

[Boxing Prospect]

Goves...looks....crap....

Hmmmm.............

Eddy being bang average, and not having more than 7 rounds of stamina doesn't mean that Groves looked good. For the first 4 rounds Groves looked terrible, last 4 he looked alright against a 1-eyed guy who looked like he was coming down in weight and could only do 7 rounds at a decent pace. There was no killer instinct at all from Grove who was pedestrian when Gutknecht was looking buggered and fighting 1-eyed for 4 rounds.

[Neil Gee]

Really would have expected Groves to stop this guy.

Why was he one eyed?

Cos he kept getting hit there, doesn't change the fact Groves never showed the finishing instinct to try and finish him in the 4 rounds he was figthing with 1 eye, instead he fought at a pedestrian and comfortable pace and looked happy to go the distance rather than hunt a decisive finishing moment.

It makes me laugh when people quote a 2 time world title challenger bang average

Groves had a Fantastic jab , didn't crumble under pressure, lost 3 rounds max against an opponant that would give any decent SM a hard night .
some people are never happy

[Exoddus]

Good performance from GG. Although he couldn't finish a cup of tea. He really should have stopped Gutknecht in the last couple of rounds. Any pitter-patter flurry would have O'connor stepping in.

[wesshaw1985]

Groves vs. Chudinov for the WBA "Super" or Groves vs. Zeuge for the WBA "Regular" next, either will do.
Nice title fights for W@rren and B0xNati0n to pick up.
Does either man give Groves any trouble?
