    Good fighter, has good combos. Extends his left to keep his opponent at bay, a bit like Ward. Needs to bring his hands up a little though. Has very good power for someone only 9 fights in and he's progressing really well.

    Groves is a terrific prospect no doubt.

    He moves really well. He actually moves his head very well but its a thin line to be walking when you have your hands near your balls. You are gonna get hit unless you are some type of Sweet Pea talent. Hopefully he can learn to get his gloves into better positions when he's in his opponents range. It's okay having them down out of range to conserve energy but he needs to tighten it up.

    His counterpunching is exceptional, its a rare talent to pick counters so clean and hard and hurt people.

    He has the power.

    But ya, needs to work on the defence and use his jab more often to open up his opponent, his jab is very nice when he uses it but he underuses it.

    Only 22 years old so there is huge raw talent there to develop.

    He fights on Saturday. He'll be facing a bum, but you can watch it live on ringtv.com.
