    Who would like to see this fight. And who takes it if it happens?

    Think groves would win on points by pumping out the jab and staying out of danger. Murray will probably try to come forward but I think groves will be smart enough to take it. Hope Murray wins though.

    Groves UD, but I like the fight a lot.
    I think 116-112.

    I think stylistically its a good fight for Groves can see him controlling Murray at range with the jab.

    Murray isnt a big puncher at super middle either, which makes it a sensible fight to get him back back into the picture against a decent name.

    I think he carries more power there than at MW actually. He managed to hurt Abraham in their fight which not many people have done. Possibly just a great punch but still

    Abraham is getting on a bit though mate and is well past his best, I expect Ramirez to stop him next month.

    I think Groves will win on points using his jab to keep Murray off who looks slow at Super Middle. Even when Murray looked to have hurt AA in their fight he couldn't capitalise and despite Groves' recent deficiencies in defence I think he'll still be able to keep Murray off him using his footwork.
    Would really like to see this, think it'll be a good fight.

    I think Groves late stoppage. Think he will wear Murray down with his jab and speed.

    A lot will depend on Groves mental state. If he is confident and hungry then Groves on points, 8-4 or there abouts.

    Murray's slower feet and, at times, pedestrian pace will seal it for George.

    I'm still not convinced Groves is right, something is still missing in my opinion.

    I would favour Groves but Murray is game and will be in great condition and come to fight.
