‘The Cobra’ said, “Me and George Groves at the same time? Are you sure? Have you seen the size of George? No disrespect to George. But literally, I would pepper with the jab, maybe even one right hand. Even if no, if I hit you with one right hand, the fight is over.”
“Let’s just say George Groves ends up on the ground with you and he rolls on top of you. Then what are you going to do? The fight will be done and I can just smash your head while George Groves lies on you. Yeah, I fancy that. I will take that.”
