i thought he put on the stand out performance of the night, really looks slick and sharp and heavy handed. was impressed in his fight before that aswell, i think his trained by david hayes trainer as he seems to move exactly like him but a bit better. i would like to see him fight degale again, then if he wins that. a fight in america? to be honest i like degale aswell though, there both close to world level, just need to step up soon.
would be great to get some sparring done with him or degale. do trainers usually let top pros spar with mid level unlicensed boxers?. im not looking to prove a point or try to hurt them, but i know my timing and boxing skill/technique would improve loads sparring with top guys. i suppose ill only know if i ask.
Probably one of the least overhyped prospects which could be a good thing. But he does deserve some hype tho cause he looks pretty damn good. Always a sucker for his type of style. Not sure if he should be rushed so quick tho. Definitely moving along nicely, DeGale and Johnson are some damn good names to have on your resume.

That seems to be the talk. Good for Groves in getting the shot but that would probably rule out Froch v Stieglitz for this winter which for me is disappointing as that is the fight I wanted to see next.
Anyway, I think Stieglitz beats Groves.
i think george breats stieglitz , his jab is one of the best in the division and the boy clearly has power in abundance and can box off the back foot which is always a good thing , i do sometimes worry about his stamina though he sometimes seems to keen to throw massive shots quite early but i suppose that is just him trying to impose his power and let the opponent know that he's not a baby.i think groves and cleverly are british boxing hopes to maintain a steady run as world champion , taking into account if groves does fight for a world title next.
This would be the best route to take at the moment for George, I heard it should be him in September but most likely will be in Germany.

I think Groves vs Stieglitz would be a very entertaining fight and I think Eddie Hearn wants to make a Froch vs Groves fight a little bit down the line.

Everything is beginning to come together sweetly for George and now that he is a little bit more mature he's a real threat to anyone in the division.
Nothing came out of the Kessler camp about how his sparring went with Groves but my guess is that George was a proper problem.
He hits hard, accurately and fast, does not waste shots and energy, and is turning into a very good ring general.
My gut instinct is that he won't fight Froch just yet but they've fancied Stieglitz for a while now (the fight was mooted about 12 months ago) and this could be a late summer fight in the UK or Germany.
Booth likes taking a calculated risk here and there; so they might well force the issue and go to Germany and force Stieglitz to front up.
groves vs chavez jr? i would like to see that. or maybe groves vs cleverly, winner gets froch. i know theres a few weight jumps but there all about the same size.
Id like to see Froch go after Ward again and if he could somehow pull that off then give Groves a shot before retiring, its what we wanted Calzaghe to do against him after all. It must be noted though boxing can be about levels and Froch has been operating at a far far higher level than Ol Georgie Boy
George is an improved fighter, i like em. Quality performance and fantastic finish last night. Not really interested in a Chunky rematch, first fight wasn't great and there has been no real call for it. I like De Gale too btw, he also looked mustard last time out.
Trained by Adam Booth who is a damn good trainer! I think Groves style would give Froch some serious problems because of his quickness and slickness
I agree, although I would never ever write off Carl Froch, Groves' style is not suited for him.
Doubt they will fight. Froch will fight one or more times against either Kessler, Ward or Hopkins and then retire.
