Groves opponent Grutknect admitted to hospital

It wasn't close at all, there were exactly two close rounds and 10 clear Groves rounds, three or four of which were real beatings.

And yes, his corner probably should've stopped it earlier.

 

It was not a close fight at all. EG had his brief moments early on when he managed to push GG back on the ropes but from round 6 beyond it was a brutal one sided beating from GG. EG's eye closed up so he could not see any of the hard rights to his temple yet his idiotic corner kept him in there when he had lost every single round except perhaps the third.

Idiotic corner work. GG boxed very well. EG has the heart of a lion.

 

Damn best wishes to EG.

 

I heard he stopped breathing in the ambulance and had to be revived. Scary stuff.

 

Damn didn't realise he was in such a bad way when they said he was hospitalised. I hope he recovers and gets well soon.

The fight didn't seem particularly grueling though he did take more punishment than he should have in those later rounds. I wonder if he was drained at the weight, his last 2 fights were at light heavy.

 

100% they are more dangerous. It's rare one punch has lasting damage in isolation but EG took many, many heavy blows and really, after the ninth, should have been pulled out of the fight: eye closing, shipping punches and without a game-changing punch of his own. Fingers crossed he's ok.

 

He took a lot of punches that would have knocked out many a fighter. It's these tough son of a guns that take a good shot who are vulnerable to lasting damage...

 

And you can blame Mayweather for that attitude towards taking a loss.

 

There is no 'he'. Scott Gilfoid is the alias of anyone connected with the ownership of the site who feels like trolling boxing fans to generate traffic.

 

Sad to hear this news. I thought he was taking a hell of a beating in those latter rounds and was impressed with how tough and brave he was. I hope he gets well soon.
