    Saint George Groves (28-3, 20KO's) vs Callum 'Mundo' Smith (24-0, 17KO's), for the WBA Super Super-Middleweight belt and the WBC Diamond Super-Middleweight belt. Plus of course the 168 Ali Trophy.
    A little underwhelming imo, certainly with the magnitude of the event being a lot less, and the flimsy belts on the line here compared to the Cruiserweight final, but I'd still love to see the fight.

    But why on a Friday?

    Ah but one of the belts is a Super Super one. The only way to beat that would be super duper super. But that may not fit. :(

    Think I saw a Ring magazine belt doing the rounds at the presser.

    I wonder how many publications have Groves and Smith as their #1 and #2 in the division.

    Without the walking controversy that is Fam Eubank, this is a non event.

    Anyone think Jr will be ringside to call out the winner?

    Hope this is a good scrap but I find Groves creepy as and 'Mundo' dull as dishwater.

    Shouldn't this be on Days Inn? And I think CEJ is fighting on that same card too, so he can jump in the ring to challenge the winner of the main event.

    Why? Last time I saw him he only had a couple of good rounds against Groves when he fought one-armed.

    Saudi Arabia's drug laws conflicted with Kalle's plans for being coked out of his mind on Saturday night.

    Yeah it's weird they seem to have forgotten about Gilberto Ramirez. By this logic Anthony Joshua is owed a ring belt too.

    And if you look over on the TBRB Callum is correctly placed at number 8.

    Eubank is on the undercard of this fight, so he'll be there.

    DAZN.

    I've never watched Smith fight yet. However, he's remarkably taller, bigger and stronger looking than Groves, and looks around twenty years younger.

    How is he making SMW - does he have chicken legs?
