Comments Thread For: Callum Smith Knocks George Groves Out in Seven, Wins WBSS

[Randall Cunning]

Callum Smith vs. Gennady Golovkin @ 168! Make It Happen! GGG has fought guys who moved to 160 from 154, now is a good time for him to do the same! MAN UP!

Smiths next fight is right in front of our eyes, Chavez Jr

did anyone notice the start of round 6, on itv coverage, bottom left, it still said 'round 5' for like the first 10-15 seconds of the round, and then it was changed to say 'round 6'

Callum Smith just seemed to hit so much harder and I did not realize how tall he was. It seemed he could have opened up at anytime he wanted and put Groves in trouble. He is very controlled if he let go more he would be a knockout artist. I thought Groves boxed well against a tall opponent with a good guard and defense, maybe he was hoping to counter him but Smith took his time. Groves got caught by a left high on the temple and was not expecting it after all the rights Smith threw. I think Groves has one too many hard fights maybe fighting DeGale as his last cash out fight then retire...

Zurdo Will kill him

Hard to say, Zurdo fought nobodies only. he is untested.

I'm very happy for Smith after that

He buzzed Groves several times in that fight. I thought his big right over Groves' low left looked like being the money punch but that left hook was a peach, and the body shot was the finisher.

I thought he boxed well and limited Groves's counters. I've always seen him as someone who raises his game against better opposition and he did well tonight.

Good job

Degale could probably outbox Eubank with his eyes closed, the only way that fight could be competitive is if Chunky gassed late on and got caught.

I think Degale is pretty much finished, very rarely fights for more than patches. Could see Eubank beating him just by being busier (like Truax).

They hate each other, so I’m on board for the build up. Eubanks are always good value. Imagine he might tempt Degale into a brawl.

Only casuals think 160 is better than 168.

2 top 10 MW's already failed at SMW in Eubank Jr. & Murray.
Brant was also one of the hottest prospects at 160, failed to

ggg just lost to a 5'8 junior middleweight who'd be at a severe size disadvantage against every single SMW.

Jacobs went life and death with Sulecki who fights like a poor man's Smith.

You are right about that. 168 division is pretty good right now. Hope Zurdo, benavidez and Callum fight each other.

Not too good for Mcguigans profile. Poor George, that was unexpected
