Great card. Really looking forward to this one.

Porter-Gomez is the tricky one for me.

 

[DrMo]

Guerrero on point but there's every chance he gets overpowered.

Dont know anything about the undercard other than Ugly Kid :conf

 

[Bajingo]

Looking forward to the 3 main fights, I think Gomez beats Porter myself.

 

[Marvelous Marv]

Reckon Groves stops this guy? Not sure whether to have a sneaky bet, I'm feeling the itch - haven't done for a while.

At first glance 10/11 seems okay value given Miranda decimated him in a round, but I think it might be a one off on closer inspection. Went to a 7 round TD with GDon George who can bang and stopped in 11 by Oosthuizen. Don't think Groves is a thudding puncher, just got handspeed and can easily see him shaking the ring rust.

Looking forward to the 3 main fights, I think Gomez beats Porter myself.

He could well do, its an interesting fight. I picked Porter in Mands thread purely in case Gomez has has the stuffing knocked out of him over the last couple of years.

 

[dkos]

It is a very good card.

Always been a fan of Gomez', so hopefully he can pull off the upset.

 

[Marvelous Marv]

Going for Porter, don't rate him greatly but just going with the extra bit of speed to impress the judges.

 

[Indigo Pab]

Great card. Really looking forward to this one.

Porter-Gomez is the tricky one for me.

Same here. It's hard to tell how much 'Fonso can bring what with his inactivity/last outing, but he's always been a very capable fighter and I've personally never been overly impressed with Porter. Despite being rather inaccurate and not really sitting down on his shots particularly often, Porter's work is often pretty flashy and voluminousness. Even if it's legitimately close I can see that really swaying the judges. Well, that as well as him being the fighter that's ''backed'', obviously.:yep

Would love to see Gomez do it though, always liked the dude.

[Roe]

Gorgeous George is back :happy

Come on Groves :bbb

 

[GazOC]

"Caaaaaaam on Grovesy".:clap:

 

[Vano-irons]

I'm in two minds about the main event. I kinda hope Guerrero gets a spanking as I car put up with him saying he is a 5 weight champion. But then again I have him in my accumulator with Groves - Sierra over 6 rounds

 

[Roe]

My predictions..

Groves stops Sierra after 3 or 4 rounds. He's gonna box sharp and break Sierra down with hard punches from range as he manoeuvres round him.
Porter gonna cut Gomez up and force a late stoppage.
Guerrero's gonna put on a masterclass against Aydin and really impress.

 

[Charliebigspuds]

How dangerous a fight for Groves is this?

 

[Roe]

Groves wearing blue..

Haye/Valuev gameplan coming up :yep

 

[Marvelous Marv]

If Groves is any good its not risky at all, Oosthuizen outclassed Sierra, Miranda smashed him to bits.

But Groves has a crap chin and if Sierra's record is not smoke and mirrors maybe its a slight risk.

 

[DrMo]

"You've got no chin George"

 

[TheDemolitionDan]

Not sure why Tomkins keeps saying this is Groves' U.S. debut. It isn't. He fought Alfredo Contreas in Las Vegas. Ended up stopping Contreas in a bad stoppage, but he was winning g every round anyway.

 

[Roe]

"George the Saint"?

No.
