George Groves Observations

TBH Craney has made a decent thread with valid points, If you don't agree debate them. He's made far worse thread's then this, he knows when he's at wind up and TBF to him this seems a serious thread.

 

:good Yep agreed, It's a good thread. I think Groves beats Abraham. I think they could seize that fight and win it.

You could see the frustration in Glen's trainer (very good cornerman) he was seeing the openings and Glen i think saw them but didn't have the ability to pull the trigger or didn't really want to.

 

yeh ino what you mean by he wobbles alot from punches u dnt expect to wobble like anderson. degale paul smith. his last fight now johnson. i was there live and you could hear groves punches echoing johnsons gna have a headache tomoz gaurenteed as groves threw volly after wacking volly of shots but trying to take him out 1st round was so dumb i was giggling at ringside but he did kinda hurt him i sensed in round 5 or six i think wen he was landing big shots an the bell went but johnson needs to retire work rates gone an he never came to win.

 

one major thing I noticed was the lack of defence for any sort of right hand to the body from groves. plenty of times you could see it but glen didn't commit to it landed it once or twice but not enough.

 

Doesn't look natural..?

For white boy, he seems to be very very co-ordinated and fluent! allot of body co-ordination. When he throws his combinations he looks natural! Sometimes you can see fighters resetting, like a computer resetting because they are not wired up naturally to throw combinations or punches. These type of fighters constantly reset, and you can almost see their thought processes.

George Groves motor skills wise is superior to Carl Froch and James Degale in my opinion.

Although James Degale is very co-ordinated! His punching technique is not 100% correct in my opinion.

Carl Froch..? Struggles to throw short punches, and accurate combinations. Carl Froch has to reset after afew punches, where as George Groves! I feel if he didn't fatigue! He could just reel off combinations automatic! without resetting or thinking about placement.

I am very impressed with George Groves.

 

David Price against Skeleton, had them reactions.

George Groves is a tough guy, not really seen him react badly or scared.

 

He has copied David Haye's mannerisms, on how he moves and throws punches in the ring, but he has put his own spin on things.

George Groves is a product of both Adam Booth & David Haye. Booth basically thinks for him, and David Haye has basically given him his confidence and influenced his technique.

And David Haye has probably influenced some of his social skills aswell.

When Groves was being bullied by Degale! I felt sorry for him, but you could see he was handling the situation at first like Adam Booth! Just trying to be nonchalant, and then suddenly switching to David Haye's social antics in later interviews.

You see somebody like David Haye is not easily influenced, he is the influencer.

George Groves has that impressionable personality, he is very innocent.

At times he acts like Adam Booth in interviews, and then at times he acts like his hero! David Haye.

There's a ****ed up interview for Ifilm, involving George Groves! can't find it though.

 

whos influenced his tattoos!!!

 

Thats Grove's putting his own spin on things.

He's 40% Booth, 40% Haye, 20% Groves.

 

he makes some great points. you havent wasted anything. i agree with you that g.g will be champ one day could/would probably have been a world champ now if that stigletz fight had happened earlier

but if he steps up to fight a top champ like froch anytime soon he will be found wanting

 

London never fails. The Excel is the new home of boxing. After the London Olympics I never thought I would hear a better atmosphere, but now I am not so sure.

Last night electric.
