    Groves wouldn`t be so gung ho against a fighter like Dirrell as he was last night against a fighter he knew he could take chances with.

    I would expect George to fight more defensive against Dirrell and outpoint him.

    Hard to call.

    Groves didn't look all that impressive last night imo.

    Rebrasse was underrated going into the Groves fight. Groves is a far better boxer than Anthony Dirrell

    It has the potential to be an explosive bout. Here's hoping it goes ahead.

    Groves has a good arsenal and sound boxing ability. The problem is his ring IQ; putting too much on his shots, fighting when he should box. His passion overrules tactics.

    If Paddy can tighten up a few of those loose screws then you've got a hard man to beat.

    I think Dirrell late. I'm still not sold on Groves being able to pace himself and box smartly for a full 12 in a fight like this. Bika's ugly, but he's tough as nails. George has the ability to outbox Dirrell, but it's the durability to do it the full distance I'd be concerned about.

    As of now, Dirrell TKO 10, 65/35 favorite for me.

    Anthony doesnt have the talent of Andre, but hes still no pushover for anyone.

    He rocked Bika quite a few times and dropped him, and Bika has a granite chin.

    I seriously think he over looked Jack. He was calling it a tuneup and carrying on like it was a definitive knockout. I'm guessing he saw the Jack-Perbian fight along with the Jack-Edwards fight and thought it would be a walk in the park. Jack looked a lot better than against Perbian.
