    I've only seen it once and it wasn't in the greatest quality. But I did download a HD copy a while back so I'll watch it again. Also I think you're right about Groves being pretty adept at blocking, slipping or at least making subtle movements to take the sting out of shots when his opponents rush him. I do remember noticing that when Cox steamed in.

    Thanks but it's not available in my country. But like I said, I have very nice HD copy of the Sky Sports broadcast of it so I'll watch that instead.

    I ****ing hate that.:mad: Still not sure why it makes a difference, they don't care if people in the US get it for free, but everyone else they have an issue with, and vice versa with the Brit fights.:ohno

    I don't have much faith in Groves, but he did well in the Froch fight....................don't like his stamina or chin, but he does have some power in his punches, he will probably lose the fight unless he works very hard and somehow gets lucky......................

    I don't disagree most of this (though I think Zurdo is a damn good fighter and haven't seen Benavidez). I am leaning towards Groves to win the fight, but it is only a lean.

    I hope Groves does win the fight, I can't stand Eubank, Jr. or Sr.

    Is it me or is Groves now more of a brawler than the boxer he was back then?
