Comments Thread For: Callum Smith Knocks George Groves Out in Seven, Wins WBSS

[FlatLine]

Groves was hit behind the back of his head when he was down. He's going to appeal that decision and try and get a NC I think. The final shot which ended the fight was technically an illegal shot on two fronts - firstly because the man was down, secondly because it was back of the head.

Saw it coming, from the opening bell Groves looked uncomfortable, did the Booty Dew a couple times before too.

I'd still watch Groves vs Degale.

But well done to Callum. I honestly didn't rate him particularly highly apart from being consistent with his jab and enormous but he brought his right hand and body work into play that seemed to go missing over the last few years.

Callum should go after all the other champs. See where he's at before he surely outgrows the weight.

Yes that's true.

Groves should take Fielding’s regular belt now!

Does this mean Smith’s other opponents were very good or did he just not try because they were limited

Styles make fights. Smith looked huge tonight. He could bide his time and wait for Groves to get a little sloppy. He's a great mid range hooker with KO power. Almost like a bigger version of Danny Garcia.

Yeah it was unnecessary but the fight was pretty much done, would be crap if they overturned it. Don't think they will honestly, this was the tourney final.

That punch did not seem to land, after viewing from multiple angles

Finishing shot was clearly the body shot.

Aha, that would explain why he waited till 10 then jumped up.

no chance they overturn it.
