Anderson

Fair play to Groves for giving Anderson a re-match. Think it should be the other way round however, DeGale fighting Anderson and Groves pushing onwards and upwards. Groves may feel deflated with this and could prove an issue.

Will Booth continue to train him? I presume so. Wonder if anything can be read in Haye with this..... ?

Haye probably retiring like he said he would. I imagine Booth will manage and train him.

That would be a welcome rematch. Kenny put up a good fight first time around at short notice. Hopefully he could go one better next time

..................... with a bit of help from Dave Coldwell.
Hayemaker Promotions are dead in the water.
Best deal for all parties concerned.

Good news on all counts. I'm happy to see Groves back in with him and I think we'll witness an improved performance by George who will leave no ambiguity this time.

It shall be a good rematch as Kenny Anderson gave George Groves quite a rough night and exposed Groves' defensive shortcomings prior Groves' stopped after softening him some good bodyshots.

I expect George is smart enough to have move on and developed on the weaknesses displayed in the first fight. good 1st defence for the lad and props to him for taking it. Expecting a reasonably comfortable fight for him, boxing his way for the first few rounds before stepping up the pace when Anderson wares down before a stoppage late.

Great move for Groves and another great signing for Matchroom.

FW has to be careful, i dont think he'll be the number 1 guy in British promoting soon

Matchroom getting better and better and a remach against Anderson will be a tough one especially as he will have full time to prepare for this one and knows he has the tools to hurt Groves. Good fight in the making although expect the same result as last time.

no complaints about this rematch. it was much more exciting than groves v degale. though obviously not as big an event. i did wonder what would happen to hayemaker and star fighter in the advent of haye losing his heavyweight title.

another reason haye should have fought his arse off, that night vs klitschko?

Carl Froch, Darren Barker, George Groves and Kell Brook.

I would say that that is now COMFORTABLY the strongest stable in British boxing - Britain's best fighter and two best prospects.

I would have to agree, they are now top dogs and deservedly so.

I'm sure there are still more belts in FW's stable though, which for me, still puts him at number 1................................. for now

They also got Rees, Mccloskey and Purdy. Warren got a much bigger stable so he number 1.

Yup, another Great signing for 'The Gorgeous One'............ glad to see George Groves is giving Anderson a rematch. Wonder if that had anything to do with the excellent interview/article (that Terry Dooley wrote I think) with Anderson where he gave George a slating for promising him a rematch then not going through with it (til now)
