No, something synthetic.

A lot of stuff was horse hair, gloves stayed with it a lot longer than most products.

Listening to radio...was it a headclash or a ref signalling what the Brit wanted?

I fvcking loved it when Buglioni dropped Chudinov with an illegal blow after the bell and Chudinov just got straight back up and walked to his corner as if nothing had even happened.

Andre Dirrell would still be down...

In play odds changing round by round

Will Groves gas, Chud not showing any signs of backing off

This is a good fight.

2-2 at worst for Groves

Groves much better in the fourth.

Chudinov should really be 160 I believe. He'd be so much more effective there.

Booth on Radio 5 said horse hair, thought only Cleto Reyes did horse hair

Mexican Everlast I thought also was horse hair. One needs to check this things out.

I got it 3-2 Groves after 5 rounds. I could see it being 3-2 Chudinov as well. First 2 rounds both could've went either way.

Can't call it really

My instinct says Groves on points, more accurate on back foot but its a war

It should have been a minutes silence, and fans there should be ashamed of themselves for not staying silent.

It's sunny. It's late. There's been beers. So what? Sorry to massively inconvenience you for 60 seconds of the evening.

As for it should have been noise or applause. No. If someone needs catering to in all of this, it's not those of pissed up dickheads. Just shut the fornicate up for a minute. Jeez.

Anyway, rant over. Groves fight has been pretty decent.

BRILLIANT

Well done George.

Well done George. Chudinov is a hard bastard.

Fourth time lucky.

Jesus christ the chin on chudinov. Great win for Groves though.

Chudinov showing a hellacious chin there, but you can't argue with the ref's stoppage I don't think. George was just absolutely teeing off on the guy and almost everything was landing with full force.

WAR GROVES!!!!

Well done lad

Nice one George.

Can't help but think Chudinov's tactic of blocking punches with his face wasn't the best one.

Great omens for the main event

Well done George.

Wow. Thought Chudinov was slowly beating him up but what a chin that kid has. He accepted the refs decision too with a nod.

Chud would have kept going - but for his own safety well done ref

Did well there Groves

Carl Froch made a career out of it.
