Groves sees off Johnson

George Groves has comfortably retained his Commonwealth super middleweight title by cruising to a unanimous points decision over Glen Johnson at the ExCel Arena.

The 24-year-old took every round on two of the judges' scorecards, while the third official gave one round to the tough Jamaican veteran.

Johnson, who has only been stopped once in his professional career, was sent to the canvas in the final round.

However, replays showed that is was actually a slip, despite the referee counting it as a knockdown.

The victory sees Groves stretch his unbeaten record to 16 fights.
