    Very predictable but I guess still a kick in the nads for Groves -he can wait around and hope he gets the fight at the end of the year but who knows might happen then. The WBC aren't exactly known for engorcing their mandatories especially if the fighter with the political power (Dirrell with Haymon) doesn't seem keen on the fight. surely now Sauerland should direct George towards Abrahams WBO after he beats Smith...would make the most sense to me..it's a big in house fight for them so it's a win win

    he should just take the degale fight once degale has won the belt, 10x the money and easier imo . fact is I think groves loses to all the current champions, his chance has gone unfairly on one occasion but that's the facts

    The saurelands hate matching their own. Shame really as Abraham is made for Groves.

    They might just do it though depending on how he looks against Smith. If he struggles then they may as well cash out against George.

    Waiting to fight Dirrell abroad for peanuts does seem a bit odd.

    Im a Groves fan but cant understand why Sauerland and Groves are shocked WBC have given Dirrell a voluntary defence. Look how Degale when he went down the WBC route.

    Groves saying he is going the quickest route is not true. Surely Abra Groves would be easy to make

    Wouldn't be surprised if Groves loses in the mean time.

    If Abraham beats Smith, that's the fight which can easily be made and is also a fight which George would win and look good in winning.

    But as has been said, will Sauerland want to match two in-house fighters? I'm not so sure they would.
