Comments Thread For: George Groves Rules Out Retirement Despite Knockout Loss

[Sid-Knee]

Eh. Super disappointed in Groves losing here. I've been really impressed with him during the WBSS & been very unimpressed with Smith during the WBSS (& I was legit expecting Braehmer to upset Smith til he fell ill at the last minute) so this W by Smith & L by Grove surprised me quite a bit.

But yea maybe Groves should retire if he can't beat a cat like Smith. He's surely made some nice money now.

And I feel like Smith is gonna L to all the top 168. Jose U would f#ck up his day bad. Benavidez gonna nearly kill the dude. And Ramirez would outbox the sh^t outta him. Eh. If it turns out I'm underrating Smith here when we are a year or two down the line respect to Smith, but I just feel like he's a pretty garbage world class guy & I see a lot of L's in his future to his world class peers.

Zurdo outboxes the **** out of him?? Even though Smith is the vastly superior boxer in every way? Either you know little about Ramirez and haven't seen much of him, or you've been taking some serious drugs and need to get yourself to the hospital.

Smith's technical boxing will take Ramirez apart. As the fight progresses Zurdo will become more desperate and open himself up more with some seriously bad defence. What happens next is obvious. Ramirez is far too ponderous to do anything about it.

You're horribly overrating Ramirez and horribly underrating Smith. Smith has looked flat the 2 fights he had before Groves, but when challenged I think he ups his game and knows what needs to be done.

wouldn't surprise me if he retires, despite what he said. He's made good money in his career and unless he's in love with boxing, i don't see him continuing. The DeGale rematch was seen as the money fight for both but i think that ship has sailed too. The fight would do ok, but not that great anymore

The way he talked after the Jack fight makes me think he'll be seriously thinking of retirement regardless of what he's saying here. I don't think he'll like the idea of rebuilding all over again. But lets wait and see.

I'm still in shock that Eubank lost to this clown.

Why, Groves is the better fighter even if he isn't the same fighter he was when he went at it with Froch.

Or are you saying this because Groves is white and Eubank is black?

[Sid-Knee]

don't know why people call it knockout, he got knocked down but still awake and somewhat aware, what jmm did to pacquiao or what pacquiao did to hatton...those are knockouts.

How many KO's do you actually see like those though? Not many.

But then again, you are a complete idiot with some of the trash you've written.

Sh^t Ramirez has been looking flat & he looked better than Smith did when he was "flat". Skoglund almost f#cked up his day. And I'd bet Hart straight KO's Smith.

Smith gets hit too easily. All he is is a big mfer. He's a less talented Hurd.

I've been over this Smith sh^t previous to the WBSS when some cats were hyping Smith like he was the next coming of Ray Robinson. He looked like dogsh^t in his two fights & they went quiet as church mice. Now Smith finally looks good in a fight for the first time in awhile & people are sucking his **** again.

Granted its for sure his career defining win & respect to him for that, but lets not act like the best thing Groves is known for isn't losing the big fights either.

Either way hopefully we find out who's right sooner or later.

And also its funny how you left Jose U & Benavidez out of the conversation cuz I assume you accept those two to f#ck up Smith's day.

Ramirez doesn't look better than Smith. And he's fighting weaker fighters also.

The only thing Ramirez might have that is better is his chin. And even then we don't know how good Smith's is. But Ramirez got rocked good a couple of times last time out by Angulo and Smith hits harder and sets his punches up much better. Smith's boxing ability will have a field day with Zurdo, man. All day and all night.

Smith clearly beat Skoglund and had little trouble with him. Yeah, Smith was flat but dealt with him without getting out of first gear.

Smith gets hit too easy?? And what about Ramirez? His defence is tragic whereas Smith's is tight, man. I think we're watching different fighters here.

Hurd just comes forward and uses his size. No way Smith has less talent. I now think you're trolling. Smith is a text book boxer who does everything right. Hurd doesn't have any of that. Haha.

Smith was one of the hottest prospects in the game when he first came on the scene. Yeah he went flat in his 2 fights before Groves, but that doesn't define him. Maybe he got bored and wasn't up for the fights as much as he should have been? You don't judge Ramirez the same even though he has the lesser tools in every area apart from maybe chin, and even then that may not be the case. So I don't agree with your pick in any way.

If Smith is as bad as you say, then how could it have been a big fight for groves? Because you say Groves loses all his biggest fights? Surly Groves would have had no problem with someone so bad? But no, he boxed well and took him out in style. It's the best win any of the champs have had in the division.

I pick Smith over Jose as well, but Benavidez is the fight that will decide who really rules the division. That one could go either way, so lets hope these fights are made soon so we can find out. I don't hold out any hope though considering they ducked the tournament in the first place. The money and prestige were on offer but they didn't want to know. Lets see if any of them have a change of heart. Peace.

Who cares how many KO's I see, a knock down still differs from a knock out.

But then again, I bet you're a butt hurt b1tch who get's easily offended but then again you're a joshua supporter so you don't know sh** about boxing, but then again you're a Brit...you have no fkn idea about life in general

We're not talking about knock downs, we're talking about KO's. It's rare we see the kind of KO's like the one Pac received against Marquez, and the one Hatton received against Pac. So I was right, you were wrong. Idiot.

I know more about boxing than you ever will. You're just a bitter fool who talks crap all the time.

We Brits live a life fools like you could only ever dream of.

Where are you from anyway?

We were talking about the groves fight, then you 'attacked' me for no reason, started talking about things which had nothing to do with that I said. Groves wasn't knocked out, and let's not talk about hatton,pacquiao,mayweather etc...a knockout is when a fighter goes to sleep even if it's for a second. Groves went down but that was no knockout.

And please explain how you Brits live a life? I've met many Brits here they all fkd off because it sucks there.

And while I have you on the line, why do you think joshua is scared of fury and wilder?

[alexguiness]

I'm still in shock that Eubank lost to this clown.

Yes, I feel the same way.

After all, Eubank beat Tom Doran and Reynold Quinlan...how could he lose to someone a bad as Groves?

Seriously, with Eubank's ability and pedigree, I'm even more surprised he turned down a fight with GGG - he would have KO'd him inside 3 rounds and be a unified World Champion by now...

Boxing is really unfair sometimes.
