George Groves opponent Eduard Gutknecht has undergone surgery after falling ill after their fight last night.Groves beat the 34-year-old super-middleweight by unanimous decision at Wembleys SSE Arena, following which Gutknecht was taken to hospital.Gutknecht is sedated and will continue to be monitored in the coming days, according to the British Boxing Board of Control.Gutknecht took significant punishment throughout the one-sided fight before Groves, 28, was declared a 119-109, 119-109 and 119-110 winner on the three judges scorecards to remain in contention for an expected fourth shot at a world title in 2017.Concerns almost immediately turned to Gutknecht, however, when reports of his condition emerged.He was already clearly losing the fight against the heavy-handed Groves when a cut opened up around his swollen left eye in the ninth round, further reducing his ability to defend himself.He impressed in surviving until the final bell despite Groves consistent aggression and did not appear distressed while the scorecards were announced.It was afterwards in his changing room when his condition declined, leading to him requiring medical attention and swiftly being taken away in an ambulance.According to the BBBofC, it was after that point that Gutknecht -- born in Kazakhstan but who fights out of Germany -- was operated on.At the same venue in March, English middleweight Nick Blackwell collapsed at the end of his stoppage defeat by Chris Eubank Jnr. He suffered bleeding on his skull and was treated at St Marys hospital in Paddington where he eventually recovered, despite having to retire.More recently in September, Scottish welterweight Mike Towell died just 25 hours after losing to Dale Evans in Glasgow. He had suffered severe bleeding and swelling to his brain.Speaking before Gutknecht was taken ill, Groves told Channel 5: I am very happy with how I fought, it went exactly to plan. I set a great tempo and busted him up badly. I am surprised he made it to the bell -- Gutknecht is a tough character.We want real, big, proper fights. There was no world title on the line, but we knew Gutknecht was going to give me a tough fight.After reports of Gutknechts condition emerged, Groves cancelled plans to discuss his performance at a post-fight press conference, considering it inappropriate.Victory is expected to earn him a shot at the vacant WBA super-middleweight title next year.Nike NFL Jerseys Outlet .

Cheap NFL Jerseys China . PAUL, Minn.CINCINNATI -- Earlier this week, Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak called 13th-ranked Xavier a a well-oiled machine that could easily be a Final Four team.By March, Krystkowiak might be right. But, the Musketeers that the Utes will face on Saturday (5:30 p.m. ET) at Cintas Center remain a work in progress.After dropping a 68-66 decision at Colorado on Wednesday, Xavier (7-2) has lost two straight games for the first time since February 2015. Turnovers, poor free-throw shooting and bad decisions late in losses to the Buffaloes and at fourth-ranked Baylor have brought the Musketeers back to Earth.Its early in the season so we arent going to pack our tent and quit playing, said head coach Chris Mack. We got a reality check the last couple times. We are willing to go on the road and play in games like this but you can get penalized too. Our team has to grow up from these types of experiences because they arent fun.The good news for Xavier is that it can unpack the suitcases for a while. Saturdays game against Utah (6-1) begins a stretch of four straight home games.It will be the first meeting between Utah and Xavier and is one of 15 games -- including seven non-conference -- for the Musketeers against teams that reached last seasons NCAA Tournament.The Utes have five players averaging in double figures, led by junior forward Kyle Kuzma, whos averaging 16.4 points and 11 rebounds.Utah is outrebounding its opponents by more than 14 per game. The Utes shoot just 31 percent from 3-point range while allowing their opponents to shoot 33 percent.Xavier presents a formidable test for the Utes, who have faced just one ranked opponent this season, losing 68-59 to 16th-ranked Butler at home.ddddddddddddI think most seasons for everybody are about learning lessons and growing, Krystkowiak told the Salt Lake Tribune. To be able to learn some pretty valuable lessons without a loss is always a positive thing, especially when youre trying to get something going.The Musketeers are riding the hot hand of junior guard Trevon Bluiett whos scored at least 23 points in each of his past three games. At Colorado, Bluiett scored 27 points, going 6 of 13 from 3-point range with three assists, and two steals. Hes averaging 19.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 2.6 steals.Mack is trying different combinations at the five. Senior Rashid Gaston got the nod at Colorado and responded with 14 points and 11 rebounds.But, for the Musketeers to get going, they badly need junior guard J.P. Macura to get on track.In losses to Colorado and Baylor, Macura was a combined 1-for-11 from 3-point range and 5-for-25 shooting overall.He tends to at times play out of our system, Mack said. You know it is tough because you want to give some freedom because he plays so hard. But at times that freedom bites him in the tail.The Musketeers hope that returning to Cintas Center, where they are 220-31 all-time, will help get things back on the winning track. Xavier has not lost a regular-season non-conference game at home since falling to Wofford on Dec. 22, 2012. ' ' '
