Was George Groves wearing platforms at the head to head?

    He is listed as half an inch shorter on boxrec. He looks at least two or three inches bigger here. Surely platforms on here. He is the type who plays silly mind games.

    I saw George at Tesco's on the weekend and was suprised at how tall he actually was. No shorter than 6'2. Said sparring was going well.

    As much as I rate Murray I can't see him getting any wear near Groves in this fight. He's got one of the best jabs in boxing.

    +1 - Murray too small.

    I think George might look good in this fight - Murray to me looks abit worn out. I work near where George lives so Ice seen him about a few times - he is a tall guy

    Listen, Boxrec gets heights badly wrong. They have Canelo at 5'9" when he is closer to 5'7".

    I have groves on points but can see a much debatable draw too.

    Having looked at his head to heads with Froch he looks a similar size. This should go Groves' way if Murray does not have the size and strength to impose himself.

    Groves wins by stoppage middle rounds for me.

    I'd like Murray to win though, I really dislike Groves.

    Groves middle rounds or draw. Can see Groves bossing it but will load up to try and get him out mid rounds. If it doesn't work can see Murray taking over in later rounds

    Murray is a tough, tough man. Can't see Groves stopping him when GGG struggled too.

    Groves is considerably bigger than GGG, that's got to make a difference.
