| Kenny Anderson-Robin Reid For Groves' Vacant Title
|
|
By Shaun Brown After a long and drawn out saga, Scotland's Kenny Anderson, 17-1 (12), will finally get a chance to get fight for the vacant British super middleweight title against former world champion Robin Reid, 42-7-1 (29), on October 20th in Sheffield.
Anderson has been craving a rematch with former champion George Groves since their mini war for the Englishman's Commonwealth title in 2010. Since then injuries to Groves and additional postponements have put the much-anticipated rematch on hold. There is no confirmation yet as to whether Groves has vacated the title or has been stripped.
Anderson v Reid, each possessing genuine punching power, will be part of the undercard to Kell Brook's final eliminator for the IBF world welterweight title against Hector Saldivia.

[QUOTE=Clegg]Groves has acted really unprofessionally about this whole thing, basically stalling Anderson's career for more than a year for no real reason. Warren is obviously to blame as well. He's an entertaining fighter but this kind of thing makes it hard to be a fan of his.[/QUOTE]

Personally I was pleased when Groves/Stieglitz fell though as the WBO title means nothing compared to the Lonsdale belt. |

How is Groves to blame for another man's decisions?
Groves is doing his own thing, had a world title shot lined-up before withdrawing with an injury. Was scheduled to fight Anderson at one point, re-arranged and then cancelled through another Groves injury. Would've fought Anderson around this... |
