Alfonso Blanco vacated his interim WBA World middleweight title some time ago.Chris Eubanks Jr beat Tony Jeter for the vacant title,then Eubanks vacated and Daniel Jacobs beat Peter Quillin to claim it.
I think Groves can't win against Blanco,if they ever meet.Too much speed,power and skill for him.Blanco needs to sign with big promoter asap.
