Boxing promoter Frank Warren has suggested that British super-middleweight George Groves made a bad decision to fight Badou Jack in Las Vegas last week.
Swedish boxer Jack - who has won 20 of his 22 professional fights - defended his WBC super-middleweight title by defeating Groves on a split decision, but Warren believes the result could have been different had the fight been contested in Britain.
Writing on Boxing Scene, Warren said: "I feel a little sorry for George Groves. His split decision defeat by Badou Jack was a result that could have gone either way and had he not been fighting one of Floyd Mayweather's men in Las Vegas he might be WBC champion today. But it wasn't a robbery.
"George gambled - and lost. He did not play his cards right and probably paid the price for that first round knockdown and not being quite positive enough.
"I can't help wondering if he would have been better off taking the offer we made for him fight the Russian WBA super middleweight champion Fedor Chudinov at Wembley. But he insisted he wanted to go down the WBC route."
Groves has won 21 of his 24 professional fights, with 16 by way of knock out.
