Said for a while he needs to tighten up his defense, but im a huge fan of his. Down to earth, respectful, level headed, and always in exciting fights

@oasis4ever92 - People talk about how Anderson took the fight late, and would have won with the full preparation. If there is one thing I've learnt about Adam Booth, is that he tailors his fighters to fight specific fights against specific opponents. This was the first time I've seen Groves take this particular approach into the ring. All credit to him and his team.

@Hardysamnin exactly. the difference between the anderson fight and the degale fight is that George has learnt to move away from danger. with anderson he stayed on the ropes and got punished. against degale as soon as his back touched the ropes he moved. similar to what khan learnt under roach. his chin is still the same, but when khan got hurt against Maidana he didnt fight back, which is why he got knocked out against prescott. Groves can go very far in this business

@oasis4ever92 Well said. He lost the plot in the Anderson fight at one point and looked like he was about to take a pasting. Booth gave him a slap and woke him back up, his performance from that point was excellent. Skill, speed, power etc etc are wonderful things to have have. But a fighting spirit is the most vital thing a boxer can possess, and for me personally this lad has it all. Not a trash talking, mouthy cunt either which is nice to see. Hope he can go all the way and do us proud.

from that i would say adam booths pad work is poor

[billycole100]

he would have won it easy , but of course adam booth coulden't allow that could he i woulden't be suprised if he payed paul david a bung "TWICE" to pull out of his 2 sheduled british title eliminators wi anderson , i'v been seein some pics eh groves and david online recentley that were takin ages ago lookin awfly paly

[billycole100]

go down to any amateur club and u'l see boxers doin that on the pads i certainley ain't seen him do that in the ring yet to any 1!! and i don't think groves heart should come into it on the anderson fight the only reason he never finished groves is because he took the fight at 2 weeks notice (ANOTHER GREAT PLAN BY HAYEMAKER PROMOTIONS) and by the 6th its plain to see he was out of gas so when george decides to start hittin back the ref stops it , if anderson had the rite prep for this fight

@ImatwFearsKnowan not really. anyone can look like a world champion on pads like that...george groves has skill but this doesn't show it. his heart against kenny anderson was unreal for such a young kid. he'll smash degale
