Weird date, late August isn't really a strong time for big boxing. Just a week before Mares/Santa Cruz and 3 weeks before the Sept 12 event (not Floyd!).

Groves should beat Jack, but probably end up being a close decision.

Who's going to be on the "September event" if it's not Floyd?

It's not Cotto-Canelo, that's being looked at for November.

Floyd is fighting in September.

I was hoping they would put this on the undercard of Floyd's fight.

168 is getting real hot, real quick, especially if Ward comes back. Jack, Groves, DeGale, Dirrell Bros., and hopefully GGG:

Decent fight. Here's hoping Groves gets knocked out because everything happens for a reason.

I was impressed with Jack against Dirrell.

It is the only time I have ever seen him though. Was he above and beyond what he normally is in that fight or something because George seems to be fancied in this one by a lot of people including Degale?

Jack from what I have seen would make a bit of a mess of George inside.

Oh man thought this was the Floyd undercard fight but oh well. I like the fight. Groves takes it but im rooting for Jack
