    I'll have to rewatch it but I saw a very close fight where the commentary didn't really match what my eyes were seeing. Certainly Groves was using his jab very effectively for long stretches and looked to me to land more power upstairs through most of the fight, but Jack never really looked hurt or became careless enough to give Groves a big opening.

    Jack fought very competently and did seem to be more effective to the body, but not overwhelmingly so, and outside of the early KD seemed to do little to trouble or hurt GG, seemingly content to try, not hugely effectively IMO, to control the pace of the fight.

    That said not particularly unhappy with the result, coulda been a draw or a point or two either way. Good fight, evenly matched, with neither showing anything outstanding.
