    Definitely a "cheap" belt in these circumstances although tbf I thought he probably did enough to earn a draw against Jack, I need to watch again to re-score.

    It'll be interesting to see where Groves is at mentally after his fight with Gutknecht. It wasn't his fault but knowing you've severely brain damaged an opponent must play on your mind a fair bit.

    gutknecht is in a bad way and will need care for the rest of his life. Very sad.

    Sorry to hear that, such a shame, too tough for his own good

    Just heard about Gutknecht. I said it then and I'll say it now O'Connor and his corner are to blame. It was a beating with nothing coming back from 8/9. Stupid avoidable waste of a life now.

    I've also thought a lot about Groves' mentality after this incident.

    Terry O'Connor is an atrocious ref, time and time again he gets it wrong.

    Olympian, Anthony Fowler is also making his professional debut on the card.

    Agreed but I think here EG's corner should take the blame.
