    Stevenson is 35 and has thought hardly anyone of worth. Meanwhile, Groves is 24 and has just beat Glen Johnson very convincingly. Groves doesn't even need Stevenson to get noticed. People already sat up with interest on Sat night.

    It is a fact. Abumis is a journeyman club fighter. Darnell Boone is better than him.

    groves hasn't fought any one? he's had 16 fights, but has been in there with P smith, G johnson, J degale, F sierra, K anderson, C adamu... that's a very good resume with only 16 fights. so you really don't know what you're talking about.

    a fight between groves and adonis would be great as they are both exciting contenders with big power...

    adonis has improved an awful lot over the last 12 months or so, so he's looking pretty good. his composed performance against the puncher don george was very good. he stuck to the game plan and didn't get reckless in there. so he's showing good discipline at the moment. his boxing is pretty tight. his chin however, is a little bit shaky. but hey, so is groves chin.

    groves has the speed advantage as well as the the more developed talent, but has proven to throw his composure and discipline out of the window for an unnecessary war with trading while leaving himself open to getting tagged himself. his chin isn't as bad as stevensons, but it isn't exactly solid. if he gets caught with a good shot, he's going over. he has proved himself in this department by getting up to win, so his heart is there.

    if groves could just stay composed his jab alone could win him fights at the very top. but as i say, he has an unnecessary mind set to get them out of there. this just isn't going to happen with the best in the division, as proved by his fight with johnson. if he can keep his cool by staying measured, using his speed while being mindful with what is coming back and breaking his opponents down with the jab, he's going to be very hard to beat. he's only going to get caught by someone who doesn't have the right to be in the ring with him being so reckless, and getting taken out. hopefully he learns that from the johnson fight.

    if groves puts it all together against stevenson, he wouldn't stand a chance. he'd break him up with the jab, then bring in the right hand behind it. the speed would also be too much for stevenson.

    groves stoppage between 4 and 7.

    if groves doesn't learn to be more thoughtful, then a fight with adonis is 50/50.

    either way, it would be a great fight to happen down the road.

    Abumis knocked out in a round by journeyman Darnell Boone. Who surprisingly is better than the guys he's fought recently.
     
  5. You still haven't offered much of a breakdown...

    "Abumis is a garbage club figher with no chin" is not a breakdown.

    You might as well say "Groves is the GOAT."

    Why don't you watch the video he doesn't want you to see. The video where he's knocked out in 1 round against a journeyman Darnell Boone.

    groves is a big puncher as well.

    he has better speed and talent than stevenson.

    the degale win is better than anything on stevensons resume. and groves is more tested than adonis as well.

    just you showing that you know nothing about what you are talking about as always.

    he's got a few good wins on his resume at such an early stage. you don't think he's going to be fighting the very best at this point in time do you?

    and i don't agree with him looking **** in the ring either. yes, he does tend to switch off a bit too much in there, but you can clearly see that he has a lot of talent to offer. i enjoy watching him most of the time.

    i'm willing to give degale more time before i make any final judgement on him. maybe he learns to keep his focus more whilst in the ring, maybe he doesn't. but at this point in time, he's moving in the right direction.

    James Degale never had Froch in mind, nor George Groves.
    But since Carl Froch has proved to the world that he was afraid to face the mandatory challenger Adonis Stevenson, every high ranked UK opponent wants to beat up the cobra, and grab the IBF super middleweight belt.

    Eddie Hearn hope that the IBF will allow a fight between Froch and Kessler in late May 2013, by neutralizing the mandatory fight that he is suppose to perform against Stevenson before March 2013.
    This attempt came after the IBF claimed they wouldn’t accept to grant permission to bypass the mandatory challenger Stevenson, by agreeing a Froch-Bute 2.

    Andre Ward finally understood how frightened Carl Froch was to face Adonis Stevenson, which is why he tries to bypass Kelly Pavlik to unify the titles by requesting to re-terminate Froch again, to win the first Undisputed champion title of this division.

    Carl Froch said few months ago, he would vacate the IBF belt to fight Kessler & Ward; (Like he was the King of the world) or something.
    But since he claimed he would fight Kessler to unify the IBF and the minor WBA world title belt; it means Kessler won’t fight him if the belt is not involved.
    Ward already showed his wish, the unification; means Froch needs the IBF belt if he still plan a rematch with Ward. But I believe you find out that Froch never answered back the Ward invitation, by saying he would rather fight against DeGale than fighting Groves. (He punk’d)…

    Now I believe Froch’s really afraid to loose.
    Loosing against Ward would drastically reduce his retirement revenus, but loosing against Stevenson would mean the end of his career.
