Paul Smith: I know I can beat George Groves
September 23rd, 2011
By Scott Gilfoid: Former British super middleweight champion Paul Smith (31-2, 17 KO’s) wants to regain his title in November when he faces British and Commonwealth super middleweight champion George Groves (13-0, 10 KO’s) on November 5th in Wembley.
“It’s the fight I wanted,” Smith said on Sky Sports Ringside. “I want my old title back. I wasn’t at my best [against James DeGale], and I believe I know for a fact I can beat George Groves, and I want the opportunity to do it.”
Smith has got the opportunity now, because the fight is lined up and ready to go for November. I think it’s going to be bad for Groves, because he’s got a fragile chin and Smith has got the power to really hurt him once he starts putting hands on Groves. It may take some chasing to catch up to Groves, but once Smith gets close enough to land, I think we’ll see Groves hitting the deck.
Groves said “I’ve got to find a way to beat him. He got bashed up this time last year, so that’s going to be hard to do because he was atrocious. He’s going to be hungry, he says he wants to get his title back. I’m really looking forward to it.”
I bet Groves will be wishing he’d never fought Smith when things suddenly turn bad for Groves. After Smith hurts Groves, he’s going to be regretting ever having taken the fight in the first place.

groves is good maybe he should degale.for a warm up
@hayward. groves has only really looked good against de gale in all of his fights ive seen, i think thats because he he had de gales number from the amature days. i think smith will give him a very good fight. should be a good one.
Must be a slow news day
gilfoid proving he knows noting about boxing yet again.
Smigga is tough so if Groves comes in throwing it won’t be easy to put Paul down. Think Paul will be ready and hungry for this. Can see it a win for Smigga maybe by KO
I think Paul Smith has a better chance of beating Groves than he did DeGale. I think Groves will come and try to bomb Smith out to prove a point giving Smith a chance to redeem himself. Peace x
Smith will beat groves & prove groves is a fraud!
Hahahaha Gilfraud “Heavyweight Virgin of the World!”
ha ha ha ha saw this on ringside last night smith callin groves a little idiot lol groves will ko smith easy, didnt de gale show smith up earlier this year? (correct me if im wrong) sure it was him and he looked like an amateur against de gale and we all know waht happend when delage fought groves, groves goin on to bigger n better things…
Groves will walk straight through smith like he ain’t even there
