    Oh hadn't seen about the request for the fight. So ****** wants to do that show fair enough shame really Murray Smith would have been a better fight.

    Smith needs to be at middle- he'd be a force there

    The only positive side for Smith is he'll have no trouble making the weight!

    tough fight for smigger......like somebody said title shot may be too hard to turn away.

    see groves taking this on points, if it happens.

    He's got to IMO campaign at middle. He's a force there. Short term gain is not worth it. If he pushes on at middle who knows what could happen. There's been talk of working towards a shot a geale.
    Not saying the fight v groves wouldn't be a good one, I'm sure it would, but I'm just of the opinion that mw is his natural weight where his power shows.

    Seen Smith the other day. Looks slimmer than usual. Is he fighting at
    160 on Saturday?

    Purdy vs Vassell 2 will be a good fight.

    Theophane vs Wright won by Maloney will be a good opener on sky. both in the top 15 with the IBF to I beleive.

    Looks like Crolla vs Limmond has been moved back due to TV date going to Bellew vs Clev.

    Think Theophane said Theophane/Wright could be on the same card as Place/Williams.

    That's a good card.

    ---
    Isn't there some bad blood between Groves and Smith? Smith has said some shitty things about Groves before.

    **** fight for Groves personally, see where Franks loyalties lie with.... In all fairness Groves should be the one going for european belt not Degale he couldnt even get the British strap so how has he earnt a shot at european level. :patsch Groves should of gone with another manager one thinks......

    I hope Degale gets beaten in his next fight.......
