    Both inside and outside the ring. The low hands and feints. I'm just not convinced Groves is suited to it. Is this the only way Booth wants to train his fighters?



    and outside the ring, just watch that and tell me it doesn't remind you of Haye:

    Because the same formula isn't going to work for different fighters.

    I said this while watching it. ''Groves ain't Haye and Haye ain't Groves'' Two different guys with one trying to be someone he can't. He just doesn't have the explosive power or speed or reflexes to carry it off imo.

    Gutcheck tonight he came through, he's tough kid but ragged and messy and i think he will lose sooner rather then later unless he understands he's not that guy!

    Should of met Anderson in middle of ring and gave him angles and peppered Anderson in middle of ring. He backed to far up (Can't fight off ropes..not in his nature)

    this is exactily what i was thinking during the fight the punch technique, foot movement, the way they have there hands low all the same groves just doesnt have the reactions to fight like that i thought anderson had very slow hands and was still landing regularly

    Both matched hard at an early stage. Anderson is no Carl Thompson, but that will really stand to him, as it did for Haye IMO.
