Dunno what that was about, pundits initially said the Selby fight was the opener.

Selby fought already, won by TKO.

Groves is the only fight they're showing live. The ones they show after have already happened.

Ah right. Wasn't the greatest card I suppose, refreshing to have the main event straight away.

terry o conner.

gr8 so it will be stopped as soon as ugly kid flurries arm punches on him.

10-9 Groves after 1.

Groves has that jittery/scared of being hit thing going on that I've seen in Wlad Klitschko and Audley Harrison. He's too hittable since Carl Froch knocked him out at Wembley in front of 80,000.

spot on. also his right hand is not what it was, he doesnt throw it with mean intentions as he did pre froch...for the reasons as you mentioned...

20-18 Groves after 2.

Groves used to be arrogant and was a bit of an unpredictable gunslinger. Now he is very predictable and just seems like a different fighter...

I agree with that.

It seems more of a mental problem. I think physically he is a very talented fighter, you can see flashes of real talent. If he could learn to relax again and fight without as much fear like in the first Froch fight and before that then he would give anybody a difficult night.

Anybody think this might turn into a very rough night for Groves?

He doesn't have the best stamina and Gutknecht looks tough and doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. I think the second half of the fight might see Groves unravel.
