  1. That's the only one I've seen. He looked pretty solid.

    Nope I can promise you we do not receive a penny
    12 weeks training
    12 weeks staying in a hotel with food
    Sparring partners
    Traveling for sparring
    Covering work to go to sparring
    Traveling to London for press conferences etc


    I have Absolutly no problem with George Groves pulling out and fighting for a world title. It has just been done in a very distasteful way.
    The problem will be now if the board do not strip the title as this was a mandatory title fight.

    Who do you think you will have to fight if the belt becomes vacant, which it should.

    And who knows groves might make a voluntary against anderson if he wins. Which would be better on your part. Im not saying this will happen but he obviously fancies his chances against kenny so who knows!

    Steiglitz wins on points IMO.

    I'd be surprised if it was sanctioned and why would Fish Eyes take the risk, if Groves has a voluntary it will be an unknown, light punching, never been stopped warrior from Accra, Ghana. (The same town as Azumah Nelson)
     
  8. That does suck badly that you spent all that money in preparation for a fight that isn't going to take place. Surely Groves will be stripped or will relinquish the British title and Anderson gets to fight somebody else for the vacant title?

    Yes it's very bad, Groves / Fwank should be made to pay something, surely if its a mandatory he has to be stripped and Anderson can then fight for it in his next fight, well the one after his next one!

    I really hope he wins and it will be interesting if FW can keep him away from the other dangers in the division for a bit. Hes not ready for them

    Steiglitz seems to be one of those fighters that no one know too much about but to be fair hisrecord is pretty solid. Very experienced with a couple of decent names there. On a good run and made a few defences. Not many ko's but his power is probably respectable. I thought he might have given Kessler a decent fight so im really looking forward to this one.

    The fact its in Germany makes it even better

    Wouldn't DeGale be next in line for Brit title despite his Euro title?

    Kenny to finish the year as world champion
     
  14. Anderson fighting Groves (should he beat Stieglitz) would be a good solution. I think Abraham might have something to say about it though.
