By Nurten Sen: Saturday was a great night for British boxing fans. Wins for Carl Froch and Tony Bellew ensured some more great nights down the road but for me the result that was most impressive was that of ‘Saint’ George Groves. Groves improved to 19-0 (15 kos) with a very dominant and one-sided TKO victory in the fifth round over Noe Gonzalez Alcoba who slipped to 30-3 (22 KOs). Ex-titlist Richie Woodhall told Skysports.com that it was a ‘perfect performance’ and it was hard not to be impressed by Groves, as Mr Woodhall was.
Very slick head movement, good foot and upper-body movement, a ramrod-like jab and blistering combinations from all kinds of angles bewildered the poor Ganzalez and made hime look amateurish.
Nurten Sen: If you were fortunate enough to have switched over from the circus at Madison Square garden and watched Nathan Cleverly vs. Robin Krasniqi, you might already know what I’m goıng to talk about. I noticed that some writers have suddenly become very quiet about Cleverly (26-0, 12kos), more specifically the ones who doubted him.
