Groves vs Stieglitz?

[fladz]

I'm going to watch Froch vs Kessler II live, and frankly the prospect of this being on the undercard is almost too good to be true. Make it so!

Oh, and wow, fantastic performance by Stieglitz last night. He tore strips off Abraham, it was incredible. Superb effort.

IMO Hearn should be looking at making Groves-Magee for the Froch undercard. British, has name value, decent if worn fighter. Then Stieglitz in the autumn.

Its time for Groves to take this fight to graduate from the contender level

[taansend]

I think Groves is just about ready to go at world level. Not ready for a Froch or Kessler, but the likes of AA and Steiglitz? I think he is.

Saying that, Steiglitz seemed to be hitting a whole lot harder than ever before last night and Groves' chin is a little suspect so it would be an interesting fight.

Is Groves chin really suspect? I know he went down against Anderson but he was fighting ******ly. Andre Ward got knocked down in an early bout but was never trouble by Froch.

And Stieglitz himself has been stopped twice, admittedly against big punchers - which Groves is.

Personally I have no idea if he's ready. If not, what opponent can get him ready?

[any craic lad?]

Bit tight in terms off time like Stieglitz would get very little time off before going back too the gym too defend his title away from home.Groves is talented and i think he is ready but this fight will probably happen in Autumn

[BattleAxePurist]

Groves is ready wether or not he'll win isn't for sure but he'll be in the fight , it's not like Steiglitz is some monster who'll ruin him he's a decent puncher with a good workrate.

It's a solid fight but doubtful to get made, Steiglitz isn't fighting on a british undercard when there's a AA trilogy that will prolly garner mo' cashola in Germany.

Oosthuizen would be terrific if they are willing to make a big offer maybe even a Bika fight

[Bodyshot3]

Groves is more than ready for Stieglitz but should stay well clear of Froch, Kessler and Ward who are in their own exclusive and very 'elite' class.

Want to see the fight happen but somehow can't see it occuring unless Eddie Hearn is prepared to dig very, very deep into his pockets indeed.

My money is on Stieglitz having a last dance with Abraham, they are now tied at 1-1 and the decider would make big money in Germany.

I think it's time Groves took his first step onto the world stage and I think he's probably about ready. If Robert rushes him early and lands a few on his chin early, it could be a very interesting fight, but Groves can punch and has a big heart, so is equally dangerous.

Would be a great match and would make a hell of an undercard fight

[Sparked_26]

When is he going to be ready?

He's clearly above European Level and he's been on the cusp of the title shot for a short while.

Groves is talking Froch, let alone Steiglitez.

This is exactly the kind of fight Groves needs to get Froch.

I agree with this.

And does it really matter if Groves does get chinned anyway? He's only 24. And will most likely get number of world title opportunities.

[fladz]

Surely Abraham will be out for a while now, that eye looked it was seriously damaged.
