    Big step up for George to world level having followed his career from Australia...wish him all the best.

    Stieglitz would have been a great opponent for a prime Kessler. But I have strong reservations about what he has left at the top level and, though Stieglitz might not be quite at the level of the Froch's Bute's and Ward's of the division, I can see him really struggling in this.

    I'll need to have a look at the odds when they're up, it'll be worth a sneaky tenner.

    Kessler, Steiglitz will be a close one i reckon...i'm leaning slightly towards Kessler for his big fight experience

    William Hill have him 5-1 to win, and 12-1 on both decision or KO. Not exactly sure if I'm going to put a bet on it or not. With it being in Denmark, plus the fact I'd be surprised to see Stieglitz get the KO and plus the fact I'm not 100% sold that he will really push him, I'm not sure it's worth it :lol:.

    But them odds are quite decent so as you say, it could be worth a little fiver or tenner

    Stieglitz has improved lots and he has worked on his speed and combinations, I reckon that fight will go to the cards. Both are too soon for groves though.

    It's not mission impossible for Groves, Robert is very solid but isn't amazing like Ward or even a Bute level operator. Groves could well pull off a win but it's his chin that is the worry.

    Stieglitz is not much of a power-puncher either, don't need much of a chin.

    No he isn't but Groves has a leaky defence and Robert punches with decent enough power to cause him problems due to his chin not being greatest...

    I actually rate Groves as being better than Froch to be honest, I know ill get hung drawn and quartered for that, but he has more variety to his game, i'd wager more power, he's definatley faster and i also think Froch is a bit worn these days, where Groves is young and hungry for success.

    I fancy Groves to beat Steigletz fairly comfortably, i'm definatley down for this one

    I might agree with you in 12 months.
