Comments Thread For: WBC Confirms Jack vs. Groves For 8/22 In Las Vegas

[Gjh92]

This is a kick in the balls for Froch. He's got 2 wins over groves and yet groves gets the opportunity to headline a Vegas bill. He must be fuming. Expect a lot of jealous comments from him when asked about his opinion of the fight

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.

Groves can be a very good mover, punches hard. I've only ever seen Jack against Dirrell and Edwards. Edwards iced him quickly in the 1st. Groves should get back with Booth, he can throw those right hands that knocked Jack out or atleast could do under Booth.

I'm assuming this will be part of a big event since in Vegas. Eddie Hearn Matchroom boxers and Mayweather boxers on the card.

Anthony Joshua, Ricky Burns, Ishe Smith, Chris Pearson, ect.

August in Vegas.... oh my. Should've put it on September 12th

I think this fight gets pushed back until Sept 12.

But George Groves isn't with Eddie Hearn.

I love this stylistic match up! One of those underrated fights that I think will end up being a very good one just like Dirrell vs DeGale

Groves is with Sauerland is he not? Why do people keep putting him with Hearn and Matchroom?

Perhaps because of Sauerland's and Hearn's agreement to place their fighters on each other's cards and televise them on Sky Sports in the UK and Sat.1 in Germany. It's not unlikely that some of Hearn's boxers will appear on the undercard.

Weird date, late August isn't really a strong time for big boxing.

Late August in Las Vegas can be brutal.

Londoners better stay indoors.
