    I don't want to see Groves ****ing about with british and commonwealth belts any more.

    He's ready to take on a former world champ type now.

    Let Anderson fight Smith for those domestic trinkets

    He will have 1more British title fight cos he is one win away from Lonsdale belt. Dont get me wrong, i still dont see why Anderson is getting a title shot. He had one good round 2years ago and has done nothing since, his record is remarkably unremarkable.

    He isn't vacating because he wants to keep the belt, obviously.

    Not a lot he can do about being cut really. He has paper skin so any sparring will open it up again, if Anderson is he'll bent on the pay cheque of a rematch then surely he can wait. Why isn't he chasing any other title seems a bit obsessed. Once groves beats him again then what? Keep screaming for another rematch? Get on with your career Anderson and make Groves take note.

    In the 18 months since the fight kennys fought 5 times, plus trained twice for scheduled rematches with Groves. He'll beat Groves if the rematch happens but if it's not going to happen Groves needs to relinquish so that people can move on with their careers.

    Both the commonwealth and European titles have lost a lot of value in recent times. I'm sure he'd take a shot at either but who can blame him for wanting to fight the best available fighter for the best available title.

    I don't really waste my time posting anything serious anymore as there's too many trolls but let me just lay this put it like this....

    Kenny was tied to a contract to fight Groves. So he couldn't explore other avenues. He has trained to fight Groves for two separate dates now, first time he pulls out to fight Stielglitz. Second time he pulls out as there was 'no venue'.?!?

    The board then allow FWP to bid a lower purse despite the fact he's putting on unaffiliated boxing shows. All the while kenny is having to box lower level fighters because the only way he can get fights is through favours by Alex Arthur and Steve wood (thus there is very little money for decent opponents).

    ****** controls the European title too.... It's just not happening. The board should have made a stand but instead bizarrely suspend any purse bids being made during the olympics so that's yet another month wasted where kenny is stuck in limbo.

    I understand this looks biased because he's my mate- but that's how it is.... Kenny doesn't really give a **** about Groves he just wants to move on with his career. He's even being looking for matches at light heavy and cruiser just to find opportunities.

    The fact is no one wants to fight him with decent notice because they'll get the fight of their lives. You guys would do well to get behind him he's a true fighter and is just trying to make a good life for his family.

    his main accomplishment is being one of the best commonwealth light heavy the isles has ever produced. got more koes by himself than all the heavys put together.

    it's a real shame he was in line for beijing decided to cash it out knowing he was gettign older. got a ****ed up contract. and his legal things. and now all the olympians take a ton of his attention.

    it's a shame. had he been cultivated and given help or signed by a major promoter i think he could of been the british and/or commonwealth titlist before degale and groves got in line. now it's the other way round.

    His time will come I'm sure of that this is just the annoying period where he's stuck.
