George Groves vs. Christopher Rebrasse: Fight Time, Date, TV Info and More

"Saint" George Groves (19-2, 15 KO) is looking to bounce back from back-to-back losses to bitter rival Carl Froch. The last one was a humbling KO defeat that put an end to their verbal and in-ring feud.

Groves will take on Christopher "L'Iceberg" Rebrasse (22-2-3, 6 KO) at Wembley Arena on Saturday. The vacant WBC silver super middleweight title and Rebrasse's EBU (European) super middleweight crown will be at stake.

Groves hails from London, so his return to the ring will take place in front of an adoring crowd. The atmosphere should be electric as Groves looks to get back in the win column.

Here's how you can watch.

When: Saturday, Sept. 20 at 3 p.m. ET

Despite what some may think about Groves after he suffered such an embarrassing loss to Froch, he is still one heck of a young fighter.

Froch is one of the top 15 fighters of his era, and he hit Groves with a huge shot that ended his night. However, the charismatic Londoner is still only 26 years old with a good number of quality years ahead of him. 

He has excellent hand speed, good punching power and flair. Froch exposed some defensive holes and perhaps some conditioning problems, but not every fighter will have the skill and experience to exploit Groves.

To that point, Groves may have used the time between now and his May 31 scrap with Froch to work on his areas of opportunity. We'll see if any strides have been made on Saturday.

Trying to Keep a Good Man Down

Rebrasse may need ear plugs and thick skin as he makes his way to the ring to face Groves on Friday.

The Frenchman knows he'll be coming into hostile territory to take on a talented and hungry young fighter. At just 28 years old, Rebrasse is in the prime of his career. He just took the European title away from Mouhamed Ali Ndiaye in his last fight.

Rebrasse stopped Ndiaye in the fourth round in a very odd bout. Ndiaye approached the normally light-punching Rebrasse with his hands down. Rebrasse tagged him with a three-punch combination, and soon the referee had to step in to save Ndiaye from more punishment.

That may be the only way Rebrasse could score such a dramatic win. The bout was a rematch after the two men battled to a split-decision draw back in June 2013. 

The two competitive bouts with Ndiaye should partially help to prepare Rebrasse for the atmosphere that awaits him at Wembley Arena on Saturday. Though Groves is no Ndiaye.

Prediction

Rebrasse is a skilled and fundamentally sound boxer, but he's not a big puncher at all. Only six of his wins have come by stoppage. 

Against a fighter like Groves, power is extremely important. Few super middleweights are going to outbox him, thus they need to have the equalizer that Froch brought into both fights.

Rebrasse lacks the power to make Groves respect him and the speed to get the better of him in exchanges. Groves will return to the ring victoriously and become the first man to score a stoppage win over Rebrasse.
