    Smith looks physically superior...bigger..

    Horrible opening rd. Surely has to get better.

    Smith’s a sucker for a heavy right hand OTT...Groves should commit more..

    Walsh bang on, I think if Groves commits he'll do the business

    Smith very cautious but might be 2-0 up

    His SF opponent couldn’t miss and he was a last minute substitute kick boxer

    Groves needs to hold the ring and shoot as Smith comes on...

    He’s moving backwards too much

    Not sure what you lads are looking at, as it's Groves that's getting hit by right hands so far, not Smith.

    If Smith lets that right go more often, he could win this inside the distance.

    Both look very vulnerable. Whoever wants to commit more can get the KO.

    That's how I'm seeing it, I think Groves is struggling with the distance.

    Smith still should be doing more. He looks in charge, but he has a habit of not throwing enough and he's doing it here again.

    Although Smith is having some joy and Groves looks vulnerable he simply isn't doing enough. 4-1 Groves. Smith could do something serious if he commits a little more.

    Smith looks the classier in there, everything Groves is doing looks to be harder work. 4-2 Smith.

    One or two punches don't win you rounds lads, Groves is keeping things ticking over.

    Doesn’t Groves always give off the vibe that he’s in a war...never looks smooth or relaxed..
