    Well Johnson tripped tbh. Groves lost the second half of the fight v DeGale and looked tired and ragged towards the end against Johnson.

    Against better opponents Abraham just sits behind the guard for 9-10 rounds then moves in for the kill, I think he stops Groves late (although I'd love to be wrong).

    I haven't watched enough of Stieglitz to draw any conclusions but I think I'm right in saying Froch might vacate the IBF instead of fighting Stevenson so if Stieglitz beats Abraham a title shot may interest Froch.
    I believe the Kessler-Froch winner will be stripped of the IBF belt immidiately after the fight because the fight is scheduled after April. April was the deadline given.

    As I understand it Stevenson faces the highest ranked contender for the vacant belt.

          Good article on him in Ring Magazine this month, he's had it tough and literally came from nothing in the Dominican Republic with no electricity and no running water (just a well). His kids were ill for a long time too.

          If he could become world champion it would be a heck of a story.
