Comments Thread For: Groves: WBSS Location is Advantage For Me With Callum Smith

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

George Groves is getting ready for his World Boxing Super Series super middleweight final with Callum Smith, which is being held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on September 28. In what will also be Groves' third WBA title defence, Smith's first world title fight, and both fighters' chance to win the Muhammad Ali trophy, they will meet at the King Abdullah Sports City.

Saudi Arabia Random as f**k

Someone's been bunged with oil money ... same as the next world cup

[Sparked_26]

Are the purses bigger for the fighters now or is some of that money going to find its way up Kalle’s nose?

Gingers don't tend to cope well in the heat?!

I hope Groves sparks this lanky gimp out. There is a reason Joe Gallagher hasn't let him fight anyone of note up until this tournament (he got lucky with opponent pull outs too). He also arguably lost the fight against that European in the quarter finals who subsequently suffered some ill health.

Joe Gallagher is slowly being found out for the **** average trainer that he is, he gives awful advice between rounds when his fighter is down and lies to them.

Groves by early TKO. Smith with be knocked down, get up and be out on his feet, like an acne covered bambi.

Backing Groves for this

[Clegg]

He talks about his experiences on the road being so much more than Smith's, but all he had were some meaningless fights abroad when still a prospect and then the loss to Jack in the US. Not exactly a successful road warrior.

Anyone know how long before the fight they'll head out there? Location doesn't favour anybody, unless one of them is allergic to sand.

I hope the undercard's good. Apparently there's only one active Saudi boxer & I hope he get's his chance to shine. However this has to be the craziest venue ever. "I wish them well"!

The arena there fighting in holds 60k no wonder WBSS want it there. Kalle told the saudis these two are megastars in boxing and they bought it.
