Good win for George out in the states last night .

Mexican fella had a big punch or two in him and Groves being cut didn't help but a KO win in the end was inpressive. Nice to see a brit winning out in the states for once as well

    Good performance, lots of British fighters would do well to watch the fights groves is taking. That Mexican journeyman was better than 90% of our domestic field

    I like groves

    The BBC website doesn't even have him as a top 10 pfp British fighter...

    To be fair to the bbc the other fighters they have on there have eared their places. Groves will be there before long. He's doing things the right way

    That was a good performance against a dangerous (if limited) opponent. I like Groves as well. He'll always have a place in my heart after shutting that mug DeGale up. It's heartening to see him take on real fighters as well - and in America to boot. The only problem for him over there is that he hasn't got a style that excites, and is dangerous enough for the best fighters to want to avoid him. Have a horrible feeling he'll end up suckered into a rematch with DeGale and lose it.

    i worry about that leroy as i think warren favours degale, groves is exciting though and the americans will love his style,also his of irish heritage so they will lap that up also

    Yeah - Warren knows DeGale's mouth will put my arses on seats, and command more cash from TV. Surprised you think he's 'exciting' - every time I've seen him I've been impressed, but I wouldn't say 'excited'. I know he can land in flurries, but he's never struck me as much of a big puncher - just an excellent craftsman and wily 'thinker'.

    groves would beat de gale if he fought him again, he was playing a game of chess because degale is dangerous and a southpaw. But warren is in a big dispute with de gale at the minute. I can see de gale going off somewhere else before long

    groves is a massive puncher even as a kid he was knocking them over

    Tell you what nolly the guy Saturday night had a chin, groves hit him with some big big shots and he took em on their own. It was the combos that did him

    that guy was no mug,groves need to fight more,rumours are mitchell is not putting the effort in,shame a fit mitchell could match up well with burns.

    Burns will totally outclass him if Mitchell goes in half arsed.

    Shame, proper shame if this is true
