Honestly with all due respect to Gonzalez, and even with him being too long an underdog - he won't even be a top 5 win for Groves. (behind DeGale, Johnson, Anderson, Sierra and Smith) He does have early power, so if anything he could blank Groves by catching him cold, a`la Prescott KO1 Khan.
It's not hype if its betting odds it actually show's that the fan's are supporting the fighter :think
Just like any other country really, as Buffer stated the other day, we are the most loyal fans in the world, hardly a bad thing.
Well let's be honest, Bellew vs. Chilemba II was the real co-main attraction despite them inexplicably burying it earlier on the card than this.
DeGale looked sharp in his Canadian showcase a few weeks ago. He might do well in a rematch with Groves.
Round 1 Gonzalez Alcoba is walking forward and eating jabs. Gonzalez Alcoba is turning from side to side, keeping his left arm held vertically in front of his face to use as flypaper but not keeping out all of Groves' jabs. Groves is circling and staying low, covering up with elbows over his stomach as Gonzalez Alcoba plugs in a few long body shots. Long jabs by Groves circling in either direction, twisting in to land a right hand on Gonzalez Alcoba's torso. High jab on the crown by Groves, reaching up over the taller mans' guard. 10-9 Groves
Not happening. (main event soon) Whether this ends within schedule or not, they won't be starting Froch vs. Kessler II ring walks for at least another hour. They have to wait for the HBO broadcast to go live at 6pm EST. (it's only 5:02pm now)
