Rooting for Groves but wouldn't put any money on it.

Jack turned out to be way better than any of us imagined but I still don't have that much trust in Groves. I do think he will pull it off and I hope he does too. He was a good talent until Froch ruined his future.

 

I actually think he's probably about done at the top level. The two losses to Froch hurt his ego badly and showed his frailties. The coach he had for Froch 2 and after was truly awful as well so that won't have helped. I expect him to get a win Saturday but i don't think he he will have a long time at the top of the game

 

Groves just lost his way a little lads. The break up with Booth slowed down his career obviously but people forget the ability he showed boxing rings around Froch before the premature stoppage.

I also had him up on points in wembley before he got taken out by a shot that would have taken a horse out. Fitzpatrick was clearly inept too, not good enough for world level.

Yet he was unlucky to lose to Badou Jack despite having Fitzpatrick in his corner. He also has a good win over DeGale on his record when both were young fighters.

With Shane McGuigan in his corner I think he'll do great things. He's now got the right trainer, all the ability in the world and great experience under his belt while still relatively young for a super middleweight.

I think George will win and I also fancy him to go on and dominate the division for a couple of years at least.

 

His last few fight showed he is good enough to win a title. I think he will win this by decision. 8-4 or 7-5.

 

It's now or never for Groves. Probably his best chance as well. I think he will do it with a late stoppage.

 

Chudinov isnt hard to hit, but groves has had stamina issues. I tihnk groves will win a close decision, scary moments late on.

 

This is how I pretty much see it unless Groves can get rid of him early.

 

groves can hit, but i think chudinov has pretty decent chin

 

Hope he wins,wold like to see groves degale again.

 

He should win but I don't think he's the fighter he was. Froch beat the bravado out of him in Wembley

 

He's still a very good fighter. He'll win this world title.

 

Groves is a top fighter, but it is very much now or never... he has to grab this chance with both hands.

Those saying he has stamina issues, can't say I agree. He beat Degale over 12 rounds, he threw over 1000 punches against Rebrasse over 12 rounds and after getting caught cold against Badou Jack he came back into the fight to drop a Split Decision away from home in the States against a Mayweather fighter on a Mayweather undercard.

Just because he's a pastey white ginger kid he reddens up easily, he has rounds in the tank. His style is also based on being explosive... that wide stance, sharp jab and big right hand down the pipe. Obviously as a fight nears the end, you will be less explosive and look a little more ragged.

 

going for groves all the way, I've never understood it when people say george is looking shot etc. he has been beat 3 times twice against the best super middleweight in the division at the time and after watching badou jack vs degale imo the dodgy decision against him in vegas is looking even better now. now he has a coach and team he can trust i see him winning comfortably on points

 

Am not a fan of groves, but he will win this well by k.o. Me rounds. In fact I have done a groves Spence double.

 

McGuigan is on a bad run though this year with both Carl Frampton and David Haye losing in fights that they were favoured to win. I hope Groves wins to stop it being a unwanted hat trick of losses for the McGuigan camp.
