Groves vs Anderson 2 - Anderson now Groves' mandatory

I got it, no flies on me!:thumbsup

 

Just a bit of banter mate :good This forums like watching paint dry sometimes .It needs livened up a bit .What better way than a Scotsman vs Englishman:bbb

 

anderson deserves this imo

 

So despite fighting DeGale and Smith, both higher rated than Anderson (although I agree Anderson is better than Smith), he's ducking Kenny?

Rubbish. I'm Scottish too, but don't make out Kenny somehow dominated every moment of the fight until he got stopped. He had his chance, he couldn't put Groves away, he blew his load, he got stopped.

 

I think Anderson was dominating he was the fighter going forward the whole fight Booth was well worried in Groves's corner and as Anderson said as well they maybe not scared ( Groves and Booth ) but defintley not so keen on a rematch .:bbb

 

Also man that thread .How long would Rocky Drago go in a British ring .I forgot about this fight man .I think that stoppage was s--t tbh .

 

W****n win the bid article on the scene, probably boxnation

 

Yep,means the fight will be in London aswell

 

Im not so sure if im honest, ive read some of yours.

 

Will be on the DeGale - Sanavia undercard. Another great night on the new home of boxing ;-)

 

Degale should be the 1 on the undercard

 

I heard that March the 3rd might be the date for Groves-Anderson,the 16th is a friday which is a pain in the arse.

 

Guess I'm not the only one hoping allegedly hasn't won the purse bid for this fight, cracking fight worthy of headlining a show not being on the undercard of Defail

 

This is how it went down.

Groves was due to face James Obede Toney at York Hall 2 weeks prior, That fight was called off on the Thursday when Toney failed a medical.

Anderson was in camp with Carl Froch sparring but wasn't in a camp of his own IIRC.

The Undercard for Haye-Ruiz was pretty poor and falling apart so they put Groves on against Anderson. Anderson's problem was his body wasn't sufficiently conditioned for the body assault Groves laid on. Also he wasn't fit for the 12 rounds.

But Groves also had things to deal with himself such as tapering over, change of mentality, different type of fighter and gameplan as well as staying around fight weight for a further 2 weeks.

Both guys had it hard IMO.
