    I think a lot of people underrated and were sleeping on Jack based on him being caught cold by a perfectly timed right hand - that said, I truly thought last night would be the night Groves would become world champion but he simply didn't do enough to 'rip' the title away.

    It was a close fight. Groves was caught cold in the first round with a good shot, he did well to recover and his jab at times looked brilliant. He just seemed to be head hunting a lot, not looking to work the body and as his whole style is based around being explosive and also his stance (especially over the 12 round distance) must be seriously hard on his legs.

    I like Groves but think he has blown in his big chance of winning a world title. If he had stayed with Booth I think he would have at least 2 world titles now.

    Lets get real this was GG best chance of winning a belt was now against a good fighter but not elite fighter in Jack. Again he has come up short. He isn't good over the 12 rounds and that is killing him in these hard fought title fights

    Groves is a domestic/European level no shame in that
