Groves vs Anderson

Anderson has been given a rematch and has already started running his mouth. In my opinion this fight has helped Groves more than it's hindered him, he has realised he can be hurt, and in the Degale fight he was alot more defensively sound, and got very angry at getting caught in the Smith fight.

I see this being an easier night for Groves, ending the same way when Anderson gasses again.

Groves takes this again. I would like to see Anderson go onto do well though

I think you are spot on Groves will win the rematch by knock out he has improved alot since there first fight which he learned alot in.

Groves KO, love Groves hope he continues to keep doing well.

I thought Anderson was fighting at light heavy?

He could still make it tough for Saint George, given how heavy handed he is but Groves found a way around last time and he's improved massively since then.

Anderson had his chance, Groves has improved too much and will either box the ears off Anderson or finish him off round about the same time as the first fight. Such a waste of a career by Anderson already, he's been at the same level for a while now and shows no signs of improving, seems he would rather be one of the boys instead, think of the time people have put into him too. What a waste.

I like Anderson tough strong bloke and pretty heavy handed, lost a slug match with him last time though and don't fancy his chances are much better this time.

Groves - LKO - But he doesn't make it as hard as last time.

Looking forward to this one. The first fight was a cracker. Groves will take this one more comfortably.

Groves seems quite inactive of late. Not really had a peep out of him.

I think Groves has improved immeasureably since the first fight and I see him being much tighter in his defence and really turning on the style for this one, finishing it in emphatic fashion. I see him making Anderson look like Froch did against Ward but with the added bonus of an explosive finish.

Confirmed by Warren apparently.

Excellent match up, Anderson really is underrated and only lost the first fight because he came in at late notice. That said, Groves has come on a lot since then.

Thoughts?

KM, I have merged this with the thread from earlier in the week, mate

Good stuff.

I reallly like Anderson from what I've seen so far, I'd have love to have seen him in with Degale rather than this though or maybe Paul Smith. It's a bit of a shame for KA that he's likely to be forever behind Groves & Degale as he's a good fighter.

Anderson has a stamina issue, he's gassed in a few of his fights and doesn't protect the body very well. If I was Groves I'd be going to the body for the first 3 rounds and really take his legs away. Easy pickings from there.

Warren wouldn't sacrifice Paul Smith again surely,he'll be wanting to rebuild his stock rather than pit him in against Anderson, Smith is a nice little earner for Warren.

Good fight. Should be good to see what a fully fit and hopefully prepared Anderson can do but I think Groves has too much for him. Once Anderson gasses; I think Groves will up the pressure and finish him. A stoppage somewhere between the middle to late rounds.

I dont see it as a good fight for Groves. Its a step backwards. He's already beaten him convincingly once before and should be looking at bigger things. Perhaps taking on top 15 fighters.

Could be a guddun.

I think Groves will win, but can still see it being quite entertaining.
