    Pretty strange.

    stacked card though, four "event" fights

    If it is a Groves fight they are trying to set up then it is a big mistake.

    for Groves?

    Dunno really, Dirrell doesn't seem to have the head for the game, he's fought 2 rounds in the last 3 years

    seems dangerous, seems talented, also seems like the next Zab Judah

    Groves can move his feet, and doesn't have slow hands, plus he has some pop. No he's not on the level of Carl Froch but he is vastly different style, where Froch is probably the best style matchup imaginable for Dirrell, Groves presents something more difficult than a stationary target who needs you to exchange

    But then Dirrell is "slick and black" as well as american so of course Dirrell KO1

    Still, If he gets past Johnson easily enough i'd like to see this
     
  9. dirrel will beat groves

    unless they going on the fact groves had the better of sparring him when he prepared for the degale fight

    He has the talent though, and even if he isn't fully in the game he still have enough about him to deal with Groves' level

    Bit strange that one, remember he was sparring both Dirrel brothers before the Degale fight and them saying how green he was. He's got skills he should be mixing it at the top, but his heart really isn't in it

    Amended my original post.

    What "level" is Groves, we don't really know yet, all we do know is Dirrell is American, and Groves, being British is probably not on the same level as the American

    He also says it's a Showtime card :huh.

    Can't see his opponent been anyone decent, he'll just be looking to get some rounds in.
