Probably not the best tactic for a boxer.

Didn't do Balboa any harm

Nor did using his face to defend shots.

Impossible to say how Groves' shoulder will hold-up in a proper fight, which makes it impossible to call.

 

Read something from him this week saying he'd been told rehab could take 2 years from the injury and he considered retirement, and detailing the extent of surgery required to reconstruct his shoulder, but then saying he'd gotten back in just 7 months by training harder than he ever has through the pain barrier and now he's punching with no pain at all.

 

I'd say that has a very good chance of being the classic boxer "It's better than ever" post-injury talk, which gets exposed to at least some degree once the fight starts.  

 

If his shoulder has recovered fully I reckon he'll win relatively comfortably, but won't be at all surprised if his arm falls off halfway through.

Wait a minute. I'd like to
explain somethin'. I ain't punchy.
I got what you call, like, I don't know,
a relaxed brain, but I ain't punchy.

I fucked up my rotator cuff years ago doing weights and it's still fucked, obviously I dealt with an NHS physio and Groves will have doctors with more letters after their names than a Welsh town but shoulder injurys are incredibly difficult to recover fully from.

Groves is the more talented boxer but I reckon Callum will want it more and that could define it. Cant believe yesterday Groves gave away half a pound to Smith. Smith looks 2 stone heavier.

Groves, who puts his WBA 'Super' world title on the line in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, scaled in at 11st 13lbs 10oz , with Smith at 11st 13lbs 4oz, both making the 12 stone limit

 

 

Thats sky, they had Groves 6oz the heavier, though Smith will have blown right up overnight

Exactly mate.  Hard to believe he'll be the same again, let alone recovered this quickly.

Just seen the face-off and Groves looks slight, doesn't he.

 

Kalle on the other hand looks like he's poked himself in the eye with a rolled-up fifty.

Kalle is in one of the strictest places on earth and you can still imagine him sniffing 2g in the bogs.

You'd never wanna swing it if you met him in real life? One of the nicest most articulate men I've ever met. He swings it himself.

He hasn't been 'in' in a long time mate. He still wears flared jeans.

Why can't I watch, listen or read anything to do with boxing without Tony Bellew being mentioned? I could be watching an indigenous boxing match in the jungles of Africa and that cunt would get some build up
