    At the o2 in what must SURELY be the losers last chance of a serious world title challenge.A busier Murray with a good chin could take a decision victory, Or a As mart GG might pace himself & stop throwing bombs until the correct time conserving energy and box Martins ears of. 2 British talents with no option but to lay it all on the line. I'm happy this appears done.I like both & I'll likely change my mind but at the moment i'd pick MM just.

    I see Groves comfortably outboxing Murray by jabbing and moving.

    By the time Murray peeks through that high guard Groves will be long gone.

    Don't rate MM at all. Toughness is all he has IMO. Seems a nice guy though.

    This will be a shame for the loser but that's what will make it so intriguing and could turn it into a great fight.

    Groves looked a bit more slick and fresher last time and I haven't been too impressed with Murray since moving up in weight. If Groves can use his jab properly and as you say throw big punches at the right times I think he'll win probably by UD. But we know Murray is game and will always be in there fighting down the stretch which is traditionally when Groves starts gassing 🤔. I like this fight.

    Should be a great fight. I really like Murray but Groves has a great jab.
    Last chance saloon for both fighters

    Groves will win this fight easily.

    Murray was getting bingoed in sparring before the Abraham fight.

    Just trust me when I say even his close friends believe he is nowhere near world class at Super-middle.

    Groves was getting dropped heavy in sparring in Wales off of an amatuer it was halted immediately
    Last chance for both but it as to be recognised that groves was always expect Ted to be way more than a nearly man

    Nar just a guess mate. I have heard Eubank Jr, Callum Johnson, Golokovin and Cleverly have all bingoed Groves in the gym lol.

    I like both of them too. Biased towards MM cos he's a local boy but a tough fighter, GG has a bit more class, especially with his jab but I can't see him KO'ing Murray but likewise can't see Murray finishing Groves. Got a close decision all over it. I don't buy that it will be the end for the loser. Tell that to Crolla.

    Got George Groves UD written all over it, although I don't expect Groves to look particularly impressive.
