New date set for groves bs Smith July 14th.

The very mention of dislocating knees makes me feel a bit sick. That must be some intense pain that, mate.

I do think this could be the start of all the problems with Groves. I appreciate it’s a different injury but you could see with Degale that he couldn’t throw a decent jab against Truax. There’s the physical recovery but what about the psychological recovery. Surely there’s going to be a little voice in your head saying ‘this is how it popped out last time, it might go again’.

 

the mental thing is very much applicable, when playing football I now wear quite heavy duty supports on my knee and I dont even know how much I still need to wear them but through fear I have never stopped.

The doctor told me after about the third dislocation that if it kept happening I would need surgery and possibly artificial ligaments which would have meant no more sport. I just stopped going to the doctors after that and started popping it back in myself when it happened. Im hard as nails you see ..... with a body made of glass !!

 

ps to be fair when I am playing i have never thought about anything happening with my knees during the game... before and after the game or just in the house I get sorta flashbacks or when I see someone do similar in sport I get total sorta pain flashbacks but nothing when I am playing your mind is in a different place.

 

Haha, typical Glaswegian. Hard as nails...and that’s just the women.

Respect mate.

 

Rusty nails maybe!

Na it was the fear of not being able to play again! Believe it or not I have done my knee twice during 5's. But just hobbled into goals! I'm not lying about being made of glass tho, the amount of injuries I have picked up!

 

You would properly still pass a medical with Rangers pal the amount of injured players we sign lol.

 

I play centre half mate and at 35 I'm still a wee bit to young to join the bears chief!!

 

I've had multiple but the last was an ac separation from motorcycle crash. Took me years to even be able to train properly again

 

Hope Groves can recoup in time......................

 

Jürgen making noise about how he wants his smith fight
I said George the exception groves would open a can of worms allowances need to be made for both not one
The format it was set up to run along as been removed it ain't now what was promoted and advertised
Poors mans super 6 I'm afraid

 

Apparently this isn’t confirmed yet and Kalle is still weighing it up.

 

If George doesn`t fight in the final the whole tourney becomes a sham.George has been the only draw in this comp from the start.

 

GEorge deserves his fight

 

I fear GG wont be properly fixed by then.

 

If the final is Smith vs. A replacement then the whole tourney falls apart. Give Groves as long as it takes I say, but I'd guess they want the current tournaments wrapped up before they announce the next ones.

If the worst happens and Groves isn't going to make it, I hope they pull out all the stops to get a good replacement in, and do it soon so they can have a full training camp. One of the other champions maybe, Ramirez or Benavidez. I think Ramirez and his team rejected the offer to go in at the start, but if they'e getting decent money they might be more interested after seeing how successful the WBSS has been. Any replacement would still be a major disappointment though. Groves needs to be in that final.
