Groves points

Think groves right hand would give smith some stick

I don't even see the Groves vs Smith fight happening . I think Eubank will outpoint Groves

James DeGale: Groves or Smith Will Win WBSS - I Want Winner - http://www.BS.com/james-degale ... er--120761

still think smith will win now, if it was a few years back would of gone groves

on tonights performance does Groves have trouble with Callum Smith?

well, since apparently some ppl saw cox ahead somehow, i imagine that it will balance out a bit more now.

Groves ko. Relatively easily.

Somehow? Were you not watching the first 3 rounds?

ya, and i watched all the best work come from groves. cox was just mauling and doing scrappy stuff but very little of substance. he followed groves around like a dog and was the one getting hit for most of it. let me guess you scored the first to cox when he got outboxed for 2:40 and just had a minor flurry at the end. and you gave him the second when he got hurt? and the third?

The 1st round was close I thought. Round 2 couldn't have been anything BUT a Cox round. Round 3 was a Cox round as well. Ultimately Groves got it done with a perfectly placed bodyshot, but I find it odd that anybody would've had him ahead over the first 3 rounds of action.

This. Cox was an uninspiring 154lber and is a bang average super middle at this level. This is a weak division but Cox won't get close to winning a top 4 belt

you gave him way too much credit just for being the one moving forward. he literally did hardly anything other than that for the first round and got hit several times. then in round two his legs went away near the end, and in round three again all the best PUNCHES from groves. if mauling wrestling and missing shots against ropes are your thing, then sure, cox clearly ahead.

Cox landed several more punches than Groves in Round 2.

Doesn't matter. It's much ado about nothing anyway. Fight ended in a KO so the scores are ultimately irrelevant.

round two was coxs best but even then he was the one hurt and staggering at the end of it. you gave cox way too much credit for scrappy stuff if you had him ahead.

This. I just felt I saw what I'd expect from Cox tonight - gutsy but he needs to be able to bully opponents and he's far to small at this weight to bully and if the top lads. He didn't land anything of quality tonight, just bulled away until Groves measured him up properly.

it got one step closer tonight...

and my decision on who wins was made easier tonight. Groves for me should take it, can't say comfortably based on the scoring tonight.

fornicate off wes with you bumping old as fornicate threads

keep in mind callum is not a mw coming up, but a huge smw who can punch. hes showed enginge and a wilting body attack too.

but hes also plodding, pretty open due to no head movement, and had trouble with skogs jab. i can see groves footwork, jab, and speed giving him fits, plus george can bang

really good fight where each has strength to exploit the others weakness

F*ck me this thread is 2 years old!
