:rofl:rofl:rofl You criticise Groves for making excuses for his losses against Dickinson, whilst intimating that his recent loss is due to the fact that 'he's not dedicated enough these days'. Brilliant.
Only because he was with Frank and Frank does that with the WBO and I actually predicted Ajasif would beat Travis, I think they under estimated him, he's the 2nd best light heavy weight in Britain. Travis actually came back and battered him in the final 3 rounds. I spoke to Ronnie Rowe, Jon and Travis about it and they all said Ajasif was unbelievable on the night and much better than he has ever looked before, exactly what every reporter at the fight said. Groves is operating at a much higher level now no doubt, still an over rated gob shite who lies and makes excuses though.
He's also the number 3 ranked fighter with the WBC, the number 2 fighter with the WBA, and ranked 7 with the IBF. Being with Frank would've undoubtedly helped his WBO ranking, but i'm sure winning the British and Commonwealth titles would've helped as well. A 'gob shite' who would spark Dickinson 10 times out of 10 in the pros.
How is that an excuse? dedication is 90% of boxing mate, anyone who has ever boxed knows that and that's the reason Groves is now a better fighter. The fact is though when they were 17 in the junior ABA semi's Travis boxed his head off and Groves made every excuse under the Sun not just mumps other excuses trying to make out like Travis wasn't in his league and the next year Travis banged him out in the final and Travis won the world junior championship. You obviously know nothing about boxing mate, anyone knows most Travellers stop doing as well when they become seniors because a lot of them lose their dedication, they practically run junior boxing.
Spark him??? No chance mate, there's more chance of the opposite actually. I think Ajasif would give Groves a really hard fight tbh, that's the only guy Travis has lost to and Travis was the only one willing to give him a fight, even Bellew wants none of the rematch. Let's face it everyone goes on like the Sun shines out of Bellew's arse on here and he got dropped and nearly lost to a much worse version of Ajasif. Ajasif would beat the shot version of Johnson Groves beat as well. Also if Groves is ranked 3rd, 3nd and 7th shouldn't he fight the guys above him? anyway I hope he does box Stieglitz myself and bump this when Groves gets battered.
If I was making excuses I'd have brought up that cut Travis got in round 1. I don't think that was the reason he lost but what a nasty cut that was. The fact he did 10 rounds with it is an achievement.
Henry Wharton did alright didn't he? Jimmy Vincent should've won a British title as well, if it wasn't for one of the worst robberies of all time in a British title fight. Tyson Fury ain't doing too badly? BJS is the domestic king isn't he? Travis's own brother is a British champion. Quit making excuses for him. He isn't good enough - Groves is far, far more talented. Apart from the David fight when has Travis really exhibited this infamous power as a pro? Groves on the other hand as shown real venom on numerous occasions. He would stop Travis. Jeez. Don't be a div. Bellew wants none of Ajisafe because he's the number 1 ranked fighter with the WBC. What the **** does he get outta fighting Bob Ajisafe? How is that gonna move him closer to a world title fight.
I have to see that new shoulder in action first before I'm convinced it's the same old Ward coming back. A torn shoulder capsule isn't exactly a routine injury.
Andre..? I wouldn't sweat it man....Groves ain't getting past Froch anyways - you got all the time in the world.
