http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=20144&cat=boxer Apparently this guy was offered to Groves last week, so don't set your hopes high guys.
Seriously? I heard Kerry Hope was another..... Hopes a top fighter but a small middleweight.... This guy boxed most of his career at 10stone :rofl
Yep and i'm from the same place as winston churchill but doesn't mean I could lead the country to victory against the Nazi;s
I think it's fine to fight a gimme after Groves last two opponents. It's a keep-busy fight, really. Let him work on stuff in the gym, get a pay day, keep active. He's had a good run of opponents in his last four fights: Anderson, DeGale and Smith with only one journeyman type in between.
It's ok but still pretty pointless IMO. The problem is that the whole card is awful fights and it's a worry that Frank will continue to do this now he has a free platform for it.
Groves has had hard fights he deserves a softer touch but at same time it shouldn't be a major step down in class.
Is this the big card we all suppose to be looking forward too ? Groves vs a bum DeGale vs a bum Excuse me for not getting excited about this card on a PPV channel.
I doubt the African would get permission to fight Groves. I mean.... he's got a KO loss to Philip Kotey, of Kell Brook's bum of the month fame. Groves is obviously the best part of two stones heavier than Kell. It would be car crash television.
