How do you think this would go? Be a decent fight and surely could be Mate as both fighters under the same promoters? groves Ud imo
Fight wont be made as Sauerland never make big in house fights, Kessler vs AA was there for years and never happened. As for the fight though I would like to see Groves win but I see AA by KO on current form.
Smith is much tougher than Groves. Groves is clearly a better fighter but that isn't how it works. Froch didn't KO Adamu but he did KO Groves, does that make Adamu the better fighter? No it doesn't. Whether you like it or not Groves doesn't have the best chin, not glass but it is rather suspect and I would love to see him beat AA but I just think at the minute with him getting hit the way he has been recently, that he would get KO'd by AA. Very harsh on Paul Smith too, he has shown he is not domestic level in those two fights. Easily euro level and a fringe world level fighter.
Said this is in the other thread - that is the fight I would love to see. Groves is gradually turning into the white Jermain Taylor (of latter years) Lazy jab, weakening as rounds go on, losing power and concentration. Abraham would crack him straight down the pipe at some stage and he would get knocked out again.
Who has Paul Smith beat that's above domestic? Just because Eddie managed to get him an undeserving world title shot against a shot world champion (which he lost twice) does not make him a fringe level fighter at all. Degale mugged the guy off and made him look silly when he was still a novice and Groves flattened him inside two rounds. Groves and Degale are light years above Paul Smith who is essentially a blown up middleweight who is lazy in camp.
Abraham was a decent middleweight but never a top fighter at SMW, plus he's now well past it. The fact he twice went the distance with Smith just shows the level he is at now. Just look at what novice Groves and Degale did to Smith, both fights were total mismatches.
