| Stieglitz vs Groves Purse Bid is Ordered For March 12th
|
|
By Osmond Rodriguez In a strange move, the WBO has ordered a purse bid for a mandatory fight between super middleweight champion Robert Stieglitz (41-2, 23KOs) and British challenger George Groves (14-0, 11KOs). The move is strange because both boxers have very tough fights coming up. Stieglitz defends his title against for two-time champion Mikkel Kessler on April 14th, and Groves has a rematch with Kenny Anderson on March 16th. The purse bid has been scheduled for March 12th at La Pampa Restaurant in Hungary. Tags: Robert Stieglitz , George Groves , Stieglitz-Groves , Stieglitz vs Groves  |

Nah, they just seem to be very close.
I remember that the WBO wasn't really seen as a proper world title, and then Warren had his biggest names win and hold onto their WBO belts. It was Warren's boxers like Hamed, Eubank,... |

I doubt whether this will be anything to do with Warren - Kessler will beat Stegliez, which means Groves will become mandatory against Kessler.
Booth said not long ago Groves needs a lot more polishing before moving to World level and was talking of 18 months time.
No way their ready for th... |
