Comments Thread For: Groves: If Dirrell Wins, He's Got 10 Days or Purse Bid

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

George Groves is on a scouting mission this week to watch future super-middleweight opponent Anthony Dirrell.

The British super-middleweight is the mandatory challenger for the latest WBC world champion at 168lbs, who takes on Badou Jack, in Chicago on Friday night, live on Sky Sports 1, 2.00am (Saturday morning).

Dirrell, nicknamed The Dog, is the brother of Andre, who takes on James DeGale for the vacant IBF strap next month and is beginning his reign with a voluntary defence.

Groves, who went down the WBC route following his back-to-back losses against Carl Froch, called out the younger of the two brothers as soon as he was crowned champion following his points win over Sakio Bika in August, after a rough and tough draw in December 2013.

Don't no why Groves is in such a rush to get beat up again and knocked out.

I got Anthony Dirrell all day in that match-up, especially if the fight is over here in America.

Groves/Degale WBC/IBF unification is Eddie Hearn's stadium wet dream. Lot of variables got to happen first. Won't be surprised if we get Klit bros 2.0 at SMW until Ward beats the of course.

Will Dirrell duck the purse bid like Kovalev?

True. I think Groves will end up in the same uphill battle Degale is facing - being the opponent against the house fighter in America. He'll need a KO!

Such a shame... Like my man above said Groves and Degale are both one win away from setting themselves up for the biggest rematch they could ever have, Hearn would be falling over himself booking up every stadium in the country for it... Unfortunately I think they will both lose scrappy, tight, maybe even contentious decisions to the house fighter
