Groves looks decent and got better as the fight went on. He does seem to cut easily which means he'll have to improve his defence. I'd like to see him fight Brian McGee next. He's atleast 18 months-2 years from a world title IMO.

Kudos to Robert McCracken and the GB boxing team he assembled.

When's the next big one?

Brook has an IBF eliminator in Sheffield, and Froch is going out in November (Pavlik)?

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Mon Aug 13, 2012 7:59 pm  

Brook's fighting Hector David Saldivia (41-2 32kos).

Ward vs Dawson is coming up soon, looking forward to that.

Wonder how many of that GB team will stick around for the Worlds rather than chase the pro dollar?

Joshua will IMO. Campbell is 24 now, might fancy a pop. This has been the best GB boxing team ever, not sure anyone (Bar Antony Joshua, who is potential, but has a lot to learn IMO) stands out as being a great hope for professional boxing. James DeGale has hardly set the world alight, and we all know what happened to Audley!

Once that headguard comes off, it's a different sport altogether.

The head gear isn't really the problem it's there more to protect from cuts. The bigger gloves they use in the ametures is what really protects fighter from being sparked.

Joshua should stay ameture for a year or 2. He's had less than 50 fights and is still learning. He's got star potential, he looks good and has power but he needs to improve his movement, he's very stiff. He looks more like a Bruno than Lewis at this point.

Campbell and Selby look good and should turn pro, they look ready.

Freddie Flintoff to have a pro fight in November, subject to getting a license. Doing it for a Sky series i think.

Andre Ward is brilliant. P4p top 3 IMO.
