    Well Groves beat him but went through hell when they were both at short notice. This time with both mean having a full training camp would make it a fantastic fight. Groves Stoppage mid-late rounds.

    It wasn't a controversial ending. And Anderson shouldn't have taken the fight if he wasn't fit enough. No one twisted his arm.

    Groves is a hypejob just like David Haye.

    I wouldn't moan at seeing it again. Was a good fight last time. Bit scrappy but had plenty of action.

    Where does it say Groves has said no to the rematch. Where does it say Andersons team have made an offer for the fight? No where...

    If Anderson wants the rematch why doesn't he make himself mandatory for the British or win the European title instead of fighting some random latvian in an 8 rounder which is what he will do in 2 weeks time.

    :huh - Haye was undisputed Cruiserweight champion and is rated only behind the Ukrainians in the Heaveyweight division.

    Groves beat Anderson and Degale and is rightly British Champ - no-one is saying he's the new Eubank.

    I thought Groves had been in full training for a fight and it was Anderson who had had less notice?

    Groves was due to fight James Obede Toney 2 weeks prior. That fight was postponed on the thursday/friday.

    Anderson was offered the fight with Groves and took it on undercard of Haye-Audley.

    Anderson was in heavy sparring with Froch and wasn't in a real training camp but Groves had the problem of a different opponent and also tapering down on fight week to then get himself back to ticking over again and for a far different fighter. It wasn't easy for either man.

    does not do anything for me, Groves needs to look forward not back, maybe european, but it depends if he wants to win the Lonsdale belt out right.
