    How the hell can that happen?

    For me I think Groves is good for the SMW Division, but he lost 2 in a row, both by KO and isn't ranked in th eTop 15 by the WBC, so how the hell can that happen? :deal

    Gets stopped twice in a row, gets WBC eliminator instantly. Sounds legit.

    well for one the fight "ko" loss was disgustingly bad... the second was legit but lets be honest groves is still a great fighter and i feel deserves this. if he is undeserving then his opponent should beat him ?

    The point is that this guy has been stopped twice in a row,despite unusual circumstances and putting up a reasonable challenge.The Boxing Organisations will have a lot of explaining to do when they get to the "Pearly Gates".

    groves is cheeky cokney. they are good at yapping, ducking and divin (although they fail to deliver when it comes to the crunch).

    Happens a lot. Firat Arslan lost twice to Huck (with comparison to Groves, he also got robbed the first time), now he gets a new title shot against Yoan Pablo Hernandez.

    Groves is a decent fighter (he defeated deGale). Rebrasse is a decent opponent, so if he wins he deserves a shot.

    Not uncommon Lomachenko was 1 - 1 in the Pros and was rated top 2 in the WBO before the Russell fight, coming off a loss.

    Degale also is not ranked in the top ten of the WBC but I'd actually like to see him get a title shot or even an eliminator.
