Brophy was undefeated but never defeated anyone of note. Nice opposition offered, but Groves proved to be too strong. If his almighty promoter Hearn can get a top contender to come to the UK and fight him, he’ll get in a position for a world title. Bute-Jack winner??
beat him up with one hand. the jab. good performance nice body shot. trophy just a level below. hell come again
Easy win from a boxer that seems to have reach advantage, has power and displayed a good jab work . Poor David has a nice record but no power at all
