Brilliant performance Smith

 

[Metalartin]

Punched him while he took a knee there, but I think Groves was done by the hook to the temple never easy to recover from punches there.

 

[Danamy]

Wide open for that left from Smith

 

[Adidas Sharston]

I fancy Smith here 7th rd stoppage or KO.

Take a bow blue..

 

[Machiavelli]

Good finish.

Take a bow blue..

Haha, feck should have had a few quid on!

Groves' legs went several times during that fight over shots that he should be able to weather. Maybe Smith was right, too many miles on the clock, punch resistance fading? How old is he though? Needs to find out what diet Golovkin is on.

Froch will have been booing from his sofa during that Groves entrance. Froch has proved more of an immature wanker than Groves was before they fought to my mind.

Happy for Groves personally, I think he could improve beyond what Froch was as a boxer under the right trainer and his confidence back under him.

Froch was a bellend in the build-up to their two fights. I know a lot of it is for the cameras and to attract PPV customers, but he was clearly irritated by Groves and it got to him, showed his lack of intelligence (outside of the ring) on many occasions during his two spats with Groves. Never really warmed to him after that and don't particularity enjoy listening to him when he has a mic in his hands when working for Sky.

Full credit to Smith I gave him the first 3, round 4 he may have pinched just about but then 5-6 Groves looked like he was starting to get into his groove, 7 was back and forth and that left hook to the temple finished Groves, should have took an 8 count there and then but no fighter does.

He's only 30 isn't he? He can come back, he can take a year out and see how he feels, not like he needs the money unless he's been careless.

Yeah he was giving it large on IFL, he said something like: "I know I was a little bit naughty talking about your next fight but I've nothing against you really and lets face it, what you going to do about it? Absolutely nothing..." he sounds like a coked up 18 year old on a night out sometimes. You'd think he'd calm down as the years tick on but he seems to be getting worse.
