Super middleweight George Groves dominated Eduard Gutknecht to retain his WBA International title with a points win at Wembley Arena in London on Friday.

Saint George (25-3, 18 KOs) moved closer towards a fourth crack at a world title with an impressive display, leading to scores of 119-109 (twice) and 119-110 in his favour.

Gutknecht (30-5-1, 13 KOs)—who had stepped down from light heavyweight to take the fight—was brave but outclassed. He did well to hear the final bell, finishing the fight with his right eye swollen shut.
