    Boxing PPV in the UK started with Ali v Cooper 2. Get your facts right before you start acting like a grandad.

    Cant wait for this fight. I am going to make this bold prediction, Groves will be stopped inside 6/7. I agree about Smiths weaknesses and i can see how Groves can exploit them. I feel there is much more Smith can exploit though, and am sure he will. Smith has just been doing emough to win his fights without taking damage, so is fresh coming into it, whilst Groves has same problem his mate David Haye had v another Scouser, a shoulder that's not up to world class boxing. Yes Haye had other troubles too. Look at Groves this weak constantly contradicting himself about the shoulder. Listened to two of his interviews this week, shoulder went from better than ever it really is firing at 100%, to it will be 100% come fight night to i hope it will be right come fight night. He is fighting the best up close fighter in the division who has the skills to work his way up close unlike Eubank. So expect alot of Smith leaning on him, clinches and hard punches to the shoulder. People forget Smith beat Skoglund in this tournament who was a better Super Middleweight than either Eubank and Cox (two blown up middleweights at best). Looking forward to seeing Smith become Ring Magazine number 1 in division.
