http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?ca ... _id=147745 makhankov is a tough journeyman who has only been stopped once. im hoping groves get's 8 of the 10 rounds under his belt.

Seem's a good fight for him I would also like to see Groves get a few rounds in it's good to see him going 10 rounds already

yes.there is talk of him fighting tony salam for the southern area title in early january.that should be a good fight for george.salam is decent

one of the things i was worried about him going to maloney was that his progressed would be slowed down, but fighting a tough jorneyman like makhankov and then possibly fighting salam in january doesnt look like he will be held back to much

adam booth spoke to maloney about not fighting bums prior to groves signing with maloney

nice to see some kind of excitement on the undercard of Haye v Valuev

Do you think it will be an exciting fight? Remember when Haye went the 12 for the first time with Abdoul; hopefully they don't adopt that approach again.

think haye went 12 Abdoul to prove he could after people were saying he lacked the stamina to do it

Anyone who's boxed for the WBC CIS and Slovenian Boxing Bureau (CISBB) super middleweight title is alright with me.

Exactly, at least he has fought for reputable belts.

As for Haye-Abdoul, didn't they say he was only to throw two right hands a round or soemthing? The one and only time Haye will stink the place out I reckon!

Looks like he'll give Groves some rounds, hope Sky screen it, the ex WBO heavy champ Liakhovich is on the undercard too - not that I can remember him ever being champion..
