    Just like changing the box at the end.. increases the odds slightly..

    So if you keep rematching.. one guy is gonna pull away..


    Of course you can go down 2-0 against Jermain Taylor etc.. but it wouldn't last in 10 fights..

    Tbh the corner should never be saying your ahead
    And should always want more and try to motivate you
    If you watch past interviews and corner stuff from late Emmanuel steward he always said that and would try motivate fighters in corner

    Abraham vs Groves would be an intruiging matchup: it could go either way.

    If you were matchmaking for Matchroom, how long would you leave it before matching Callum Smith with George Groves?

    I wonder who will address Groves shooting his load early, winning in style or then getting into a dust up/fighting the rest of the fight tired.

    Either his coaches are rubbish and haven't addressed it or he's too stubborn to execute their teachings.

    They have made it clear they would do fight at any point. Simply because Callum is better than him.

    by demolishing rocky from stocky of course!!:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

    people are getting carried away with callum, he is a great talent but he is nowhere near the finished article. when groves fought rebrasse it was all rebrasse is no good he should have beat him easier but when callum fights him then rebrasse is just under world class blah blah

    people just don't like groves and want him to fail but i actually think he has been unlucky, i was at the fight against badou jack and loads of the americans said they thought george won it. I'm glad he has left paddy though.

    I think Groves is Britains best super middle and by some distance. I cannot understand why he gets such a hard time on this forum.

    Firstly, nothing against Groves, but feel he has been on the slide since Froch 2, his energy, confidence.

    He can turn it round absolutely, an I hope he does, but I think Callum Smith beats him, and Degale would, but feel the Degale fight might be just what he needs to get back to the fighter he was, bring him out.
    But if I was Degale I wouldnt give him the fight.
    I just feel confidence is thing for him, new trainer now so no fitness or training issues allowed now.
