Also I noticed groves is down to fight on September 14th at wembley, could that be the Anderson rematch ?

They have to win the purse bids for that. I reckon September 14th is WBO europe title.

Looking forward to this, been a while since he was out and good to see him straight into a fairly decent match up. Great to see Guerro back too, hope he's not lost anything in his time out the ring.
Positive sounds coming that it is Anderson next for Groves although sure I read the purse bids aren't due for a while.

Hopefully he puts in a good performance. Should push him a little further up the rankings if he gets a KO.

Main fight is pretty interesting tonight, will watch tomorrow if they repeat as I'm not staying up into early hours!

Doubt it Stieglitz is defending the title against Abraham on August 25th. Will certainly be the long overdue Anderson rematch which Groves and Booth have said they have no intention of ducking. Hopefully it comes off will be a good scrap.

I disagree that it's gonna be a good scrap. I think Groves will KO him again but this time not get put over or stunned himself.

Groves as been out of action for a long time though. If he and Naderson come to the ring in the form of their last fights then I think George stops him early. He is a level above Kenny.
Hopefully this lay off won't have done him too much harm.

potential banana skin here, Sierra is a decent fighter his fight against Jesus Gonzales is on youtube, he hung tough in that one to lose a decision. Sierra is a bit wild and has his hands low, so that should play into Groves hands, or rather his fists.
But Groves has been out the ring for a while, and i'm never keen for a boxer to keep talking about future matches before taking care of what he has in front of him.
And for whatever reason some British boxers don't perform when on these type of bills in America, i think Groves will do though , and get Sierra out of there around the 7th
