Yeah, now that was a spectacular 'Donald' :good I just feel sorry for Kenny and the undercard. All this would of been avoided if the bids wern't revealed till next week.
Everyone will stop moaning if Groves does get the shot and wins.........Anderson will be Groves 1st defence.
Anderson's with Matchroom Migs, He'd snap up the chance if offered but i doubt Frank will go down that route. He'll want options in case Kenny smashes Groves to pieces like he wanted to on Friday.
I don't see why you don't like the Mitchell fight. It will sell out any arena in London/Scotland...probably do a stadium. Once Ricky or Kevin wins then they can look at big fights. You need to become a star in your own country before you become one in the US. Despite what some may feel, Ricky Burns is not a star right now. There is really no reason for any US based fighter to face Ricky Burns. What does he bring to the table other than his belt which theres 4 off. Rios vs Antonio DiMarco, Miguel Vazquez, Yuriorkis Gamboa are all bigger fights.
At least you're honest about it. You have a point, but the sentiment stands for me. He has gone after a harder fight. I think this stinks of Frank rubing Degales nose in it. Getting Groves a winnable World Title shot.
Rob, I can't help but read your posts and think you'd have a totally different view point if this was Gavin Rees, or Mitchell was Scottish.
Didnt know that kid!......I still think if Groves gets the fight and wins then Ando will be his first defence.
Beaten the Euro Champion Current British & Commonwealth Champion Yes it is premature but he has done more than Anderson (whom I feel sorry for)
Because I am sick and ******* tired of so called World Champions fighting domestic class fighters. Mitchell ain't a bad opponent as he beat the European champion by Ko in Murray but for me Burns has spent too much time fighting opponents inferior to him. I want to see Burns tested and prove he is World class. Beating Mitchell won't prove that!
Fwank has been more outspoken than most about the BBC not showing boxing but what does this do to help the cause. I don't know of any other sport where an event can just disappear a few days ahead of schedule under circumstances like this. Why not have another opponent ready to fill in - perhaps from the undercard. I also can't help wondering how much compensation to the venue, etc gets paid out and at the end of the day who'll eventually foot the bill for that.
Absolutely, then what happens when they are proven wrong they all go and over-rate the lad. Sometimes tho you get the ones who are wrong and they will knit pick with the lad and keep saying he will lose, then one day when the lad loses they come out and say I told you all so Back to thread, who is there knocking around who Anderson could fight? I mean Degale is defending his euro strap, Groves fighting for World title, Froch too difficult and too big a challenge. Anderson could fight Mendy, Smith (possible move doen to MW) or Rocky Fielding. Hopefully something progresses sooner rather than later.
