Groves would need to not get too ahead of himself and try and slug it out with AA. Groves has the better feet and a decent enough jab and quickness of hand to be able to win a decision. There is no way George stops AA, but if George decides to get all macho he could be in for a bad KO loss.

Movement is what kills AA. No lateral movement and cement boots, a decent and mobile fighter is Abrahams kryptonite.

AA always looks shit but still wins against everyone but the top guys. I would be surprised if Groves could keep him at bay for 12 rounds but if push came to shove I'm going to vote for AA.
I respect that, it's certainly a very interesting fight. It's one of those I would think you wouldn't have an 'expected' winner, which is pretty rare these days.

I can see both outcomes here. It's not that far-fetched that Groves could completely outbox Abraham but then it's not unimaginable that Arthur is able to bully him and probably stop him as well.

Neck on the line I'd go for Groves on points. The tactics would have to be spot on though, which with Adam Booth I think they would be.

If Groves can use his attributes then he has a good chance, doesn't stand and trade keeps on the move but be smart with it, not just moving backwards and wasting energy, Abraham would just seek and destroy if he just bailed from him.

The blueprint to beat Abraham is already proven. Groves has the skills to apply it, so I think a Groves points win is very possible here.

The blueprint is certainly there, but I wonder whether Groves will have the ability to sustain his tactics over 12 rounds. A points win for George is definitely a very possible outcome, but I reckon that Abraham will have his moments and if he lands he will hurt Groves. Would definitely require a very disciplined performance, interesting fight if it comes off.

At this stage in Abrahams career, I really wouldn't like to call it. If Groves is at his best and I mean his very best, he has the tools to do the job, but his naivety could see him walking on to some very heavy shots..
