    Has anybody else noticed that sky have reported the fight to be taking place at 160lbs. I can only assume they looked at ortiz's fight weight for the berto match up.
    Sky is our main source for boxing in the uk, yet it seems they regularly get simple statistics wrong (asking groves if he would consider fighting khan?). Surely, a mainstream outlet such as sky would benefit from hiring someone with a better all round knowledge of the sport to do their reporting.

    It's a disgrace - some chump on Skysports News asked George Groves if he's like to fight Amir Khan???

    he said he was a little too big for khan, not having it the interviewer asked but what if you can sort a weight out. Groves let loose an awkward giggle looking away and obviously thinking 'what a moron'
