    Will Gallagher game plan to walk forwards in straight lines without throwing a punch, being 6-0 down before they “get to work”?

    Has Smith ever been smacked in the mouth? I mean really hit?

    Because I can't remember him being hit and hit hard and that's one thing Groves can do, he hits hard.

    I'm leaning towards a Groves decision but I wouldn't rule out this looking like Groves Vs Paul Smith because I'm not sure if Smith can take a shot.

    Caught some decent ones from Skoglund but Skoglund is no Groves.

    Shot Holtzken had more than enough to keep Smith honest. Groves should box Smith up, the shoulder injury is the Wild card

    I always fancied Smith to beat Groves

    The consensus appears to favour Groves, but I feel like Callum is easily the best Smith brother.

    Callum has unusual size for the weight and hits like a truck.
    Groves is peaking but I just feel like Smith has a little more X factor

    close fight though and no gimme

    Yeah the shoulder injury is a concern, I just think it will be very interesting if and when Groves lands a right hand.

    No doubt my brother , this is definitely the hardest puncher/most technically sound boxer Smith has fought can't say the same for Groves lol.

    I just hope Groves isn't too battle worn I know boxing would prefer Smith win, WBSS/Saudi should be neutral.


    My only fear: I only bet 300 Groves so not really huge & sadly I'll be at work so I'll miss the fight live.


    Groves is a notorious slow starter, Smith is a bomber vs some Prospects. If Smith is smart he should come out firing testing Grove's shoulder. Is this Smith's moment?

    The fight should be technical after early scares but I think Groves wins

    Shoulder injury is a concern in this one can not make my mind up who wins.

    Good points, I think Groves will just be too ring smart for Smith, his experience will play a huge part also, I'm going with Groves by decision.

    I also want Groves to win and believe he will.

    And good luck, I have my fingers crossed for your bet. I'm gutted for you that you're going to miss it.
