So... Groves VS Anthony Dirrell?

Dirrell wins via late KO. Groves is a front runner with speed but mediocre power and ZERO chin. Dirrell sparks and crumbles the UK ginger. :boxing:

Groves does everything better than Dirrell except for taking a punch maybe. Dirrell is so crap and hasn't really fought anyone good. So I'd take Groves.

Groves done Dirrell would KO Groves. Groves is very timid now. Dirrell a true athletic marvel and now a bit battles tested with his 24 rounds with that brute Bika.

I would love to see this. I still think Dirrell takes it. me too. idk why some people dont like this fight. two hungry guys, one who just won his first title, desperate to hold on to it and with his confidence at an all tie high. another who just rebounded from two straight losses in title fights, who understands there may not be a fourth if he doesnt pull it off here. but if he does win his career will be elevate to a whole new status. both are young and hungry, both have fairly good boxing skills and big power and most of all its a very evenly matched fight thats hard to call. whats not to like? they arent among the very best at 168 but they are world class as well as young and talented enough to improve further. i cant wait for this fight. i slightly favor dirrell, neither guy is all that slick and both can really punch. i think dirrell is the stronger and more durable of the two which will play a big factor in this kind of fight. that said if groves can put froch on his ass he can do the same to anthony, like i said before he is going to be coming into this fight desperate for a W and that makes him dangerous.

Dirrell would spoil and make it ugly in the first half of the fight then turn it on when Groves has absolutely nothing left in the tank. I'd love to see Groves smash him out though.

I would love to see this. I still think Dirrell takes it.

Both of them look vulnerable to me, so it's a good match-up. It's one that needs to happen.

Based on both fighters' last performances? Dirrell.

I'd favor Dirrell slightly. Hopefully the two reach some common ground and it happens.

a crap fighter against andre dirrell lite? no thanks.

It's tricky. Grove has iggy my better skills but physically Dirrell is stronger. I think Dirrell has a better resume so I would favour him. Also like you say groves poor showing is a factor.
