    By switching his tactics up and boxing clever?

    Groves won't expect it, but can Kenny excecute this plan?

    I really like Anderson btw, seems a real nice chap, proper old school fighter too.

    He won't outbox groves. He needs to pressure the younger man as he did in the first fight. But using his jab and drawing groves on to shots should be part of his strategy.

    i can't see Anderson doing anything other than what he did in the first fight - albeit with more physical conditioning. The intangible is whether or not Groves and weather a fully-fit Anderson storm...

    Close fight but I see Groves winning by clear but competitive decision.

    Kenny has the ability to KO any fighter in the UK,its a matter can he land the money shot and can he take george's shots which seem harder now? good fight all the same

    Its gonna be a great fight. Groves will have to put in a very disciplined performance to win again.

    If Kenny can applied educated pressure & use his jab effectively then there's every chance he can win. He also has the 1 shot power in his right hand to end the fight.

    Nope. Groves is a far better boxer. He needs to knock George out/down a few times to win this

    He may be a bit more thoughtful and educated in his attacks but he won't be on backfoot or playing chess he'll look to get down to bussiness from get go. Put Groves under physical and mental pressure. Groves has a habit of being sloppy early on and they may look to exploit this weakness in Groves game.

    The key for Anderson is to be effective without sustaining a large volume of punches so thus needing to move the head, come in at angles and work right hand behind solid jab. It's not mission impossible for Kenny he's got the material to beat Groves stylistically and physically.

    Exactly what I think, and I expect the answer to be no, Groves cant.

    Think Groves has come on an awlful lot since the last fight, think he'll suprise a few people by winning fairly easily
