    Anyone surprised Groves is getting his butt kicked?

    From round 1 the commentators were all over Groves nuts even when Anderson was landing and getting shots in.

    They say that Anderson was missing when throwing in punches yet 2 seconds later Groves misses 2 shots.

    He got Knocked down because he kept his hands low from the start.

    Simple. Too much flash and dazzle and the Experience Anderson is taking the fight...

    Let's see how it plays out.

    No, he thinks he is slicker then he really is, was just a matter of time before his style got found out.

      Not to sound like an American wanker, but I always expect the British prospects to get challenged early on in their careers. Not because they are any worse then American's or are handled professionally any differently really, just because in England they seem to stop fights earlier then they do in other countries.

      Steve Smoger would be charged with attempted murder in England. Lol.

      Because of that, you have to really be careful to not get hurt too badly in the fight. That can change the way you fight. You have more desperation in the bouts and you have to be a little more careful. But, it can freeze you up or make you fight reckless. Both options can be bad. But yes, he was getting his ass kicked for the first four rounds.

      Nonetheless, he's doing better in the last few rounds and seemed to slow Anderson down with some body shots.

        he needs to keep his hands up and box

        if he does that then he takes over after round 5

          I would say they are even, Grovese is nothing special above Domestic.

            For all his faults, Groves is ripping him to the body and hurting him. GOod for the young bastard.

                  never underestimate the power of a british stoppage.
