Groves was all over the place from that head shot but rallied well & Smith looked totally different after the bodyshot late on...

Big exchanges after half a round of posturing. Groves the more hurt but landed plenty of his own and finished on the front foot. 30-29 Smith

George still very dangerous with some lethal desperate punches throwing back so Smith shook him but didn’t really step in

Groves boxed his head off in the 4th, I thought.

Agree. I have it 1 all and 2 drawn, 38-38. Even when Smith is on top he is tentative.

Groves took that round well. Biggest margin on winning of a round thus far for me.

All GG in the 5th. Those bodyshots are killing Smith & he doesn't know what to do about the jab.

Having said that I have a funny feeling George'll find a way to walk into one yet.

Smith’s jab getting lazy in there in that round, he’s following Groves round a bit too much

Groves just finding it too easy to suck Smith in and then land the right to the body. But Smith lands a good right. Close but GG. 48-47 Groves
