Groves was on his feet as soon as the count was done and was shaking his head on the floor. A good body shot takes all the life out of you and you can't breath or think. Groves shaking his head and getting up as soon as the count ended tells me he quit. If he wanted to he could of rose before the count, he didn't so in my eyes he quit
There's no doubt that he quit. I don't think quit was in him before this fight. Even when he got put down in the froch rematch he was instinctively getting up and arguing with the ref.

That's why it was actually sad to see.

The ref was holding him up, he was wobbly as hell.

callum i think is legitimately the top smw in the world. hed beat all the others. absolutely massive guy, seems very robust and good stamina, and while a bit plodding at times his hands are really sharp and he hits hard with every shot, whether leading or countering or upstairs or down

too bad zurdo on a bum city diet and benavidez is obsessed with fighting ron gavril and doing coke. would like to see callum unfiy vs these types but not sure theyd be up for it. and now i think uzcategui is with top rank and will prob be stuck on there 'bum fight or in house' variety of scheduling

bravo callum, we got another brit legtimately the best in the world

That ain't the point though mate he still got up. When your that hurt from a body shot you can't get up. Like I said I'm not knocking him for jacking but bottom line is he jacked
