Wouldn't say out of the blue. He has always looked open imo, and a top level fighter would be able to find his chin. He looks razor sharp, but needs to be tighter in his defence.
Glad I didn't go to this fight. If the Barker fight turns out to be crap, then what a stinker of a card this would turn out to be.
I'd like to see that fight. Groves won't keep him on the end of his jab for 12 rounds like Froch did, would be fun if/when AA landed.
Didn't you hear from the horses mouth himself, he has a world class jab and no-one can live with him when he uses it :nut In all seriousness though, hes a good prospect interesting fights for him ahead
