Think Groves will take the first 6 rounds comfortably then struggle through the second half of the fight with Murray pushing him hard.
Groves to win a close decision.

No chance of murray winning whatsoever. Whether or not groves stops him is the question.

groves just too big for murray

Maybe this will finally get Murray out of horse's top 10

No.

Murray on Points for me. Great way for Hearn to take Groves out of the equation. Murray on a contentious points decision.

I really like this fight. Forget the ducking Smith chat, anyone with realistic ambitions of reaching another title shot is going to be steering clear of him.

I like George and Murray and are two fighters I'd love to see succeed at world level, even just briefly. They've both come up just short so many times. Unfortunately it looks highly unlikely both will get another shot.

I don't think either man has too many chances left so they have a lot to lose.
But the winner can have one last chance and I really hope this leads on to a title for one of them.

Then Hearn can feed them to Smith.

Think i'm the only person who really doesnt like this fight, just think Murray is too small and will be blown away like Smith was. Murray is never exciting either so all the action will be coming from Groves

GGG couldn't blow Murray away, so I'd be surprised if Groves does.

Golovkin needed a pick axe to break down Murray in their Monaco contest, and that was at Middleweight, at Super Middleweight Murray looks a more stronger fighter and has looked sharper since becoming a Super Middleweight, and I reckon he could do it.

well if we wanted to see if groves had a tank and how much fight is left in him,we will find out against ,Murray tough as they come Murray can see him wearing groves down, but i think Murray is on the slide ,so i can see groves coming though a tough fight of points , last big fight for Murray makes him dangerous

groves is a big puncher and i think he will stop murray mid to late rounds.

GGG stopped murray,murray was running for his life in that fight,im not dissing murray btw im just saying what i saw but he was clinging on,holding and running just like most against GGG i think groves is more elusive than GGG and abit more cuter in his punch accuracy and selection,GGG has thudding punches wer as Groves is more like a whip punch fast and powerful,i see him knocking murray out

Groves wins fairy comfortably but it's a decent match on paper.

Against that Italian that looked like Seba Veron, I think Murray looked chunky and not especially fluid. I was surprised as I thought he would be better....
If Murray can beat Sturm on his best night (almost) then he can beat Groves too.
This is an intriguing match-up actually. I’ll go for Groves as I think his speed will be the difference.

Groves to bully Murray around the ring and stop him late.

GG is a big super middleweight and Murray hasn't looked all that great at the weight.

well Murray has just demolished a complete bum to give him confidence going into this fight...

groves will not bully murray. think murray will bully groves in to a fight

I've never understand the reasoning behind an experienced pro like Murray facing a 12-4 bum like Cedric Spera.

Why? He's had like 5 months to find a semi-decent opponent. OK, I get wanting a tune up fight before Groves but surely there was someone better. Someone who would be better preparation or someone who would have made a statement? Groves beat Brophy and Di Luisa who are solid Euro level fighters.

No disrespect to the bloke but Brophy is barely British level.

I can concede to that to be fair, in hindsight I am overestimating. Still unbeaten record and a much better name that the 12-4 bum Murray fought.

I like Murray in the fight, but it'll be close. A Groves win wouldn't shock me. It'll surely be a decision whoever comes out on top.

Di Luisa isn't Euro level either.
