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.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Ben Hutton had a number of thoughts in his head as he snaked his way toward Arizona Coyotes goalie Louis Domingue.Hutton scored on a penalty shot at 2:34 of overtime to lift the Vancouver Canucks to a 3-2 victory over the Coyotes on Thursday night.There was a lot going through my mind, Hutton said. I knew we needed this win.Hutton beat Domingue on a slick backhand through the five-hole for his second goal of the season after being hooked on a breakaway by Dylan Strome.Thats the move I use in practice, Hutton said. Ive never attempted it in a game, obviously. I was a little nervous going into it, but it worked out. Its a big two points.Daniel Sedin had a goal and an assist, and Brandon Sutter also scored for Vancouver, which had lost 11 of 13. Jacob Markstrom made 34 saves.Weve got to build on this and get a little bit better, Sedin said. We still gave them a few too many chances in the third and werent good enough the first half of the game either.Brad Richardson and Anthony DeAngelo had goals for Arizona, which has lost four straight. Richardson was later carted off on a stretcher with an injured right leg in the second period and taken to a hospital.Domingue finished with 39 saves.We gave too many scoring chances on both sides, Domingue said. They had a lot, we had a lot and we lost the skills competition again.Domingue made a nice glove save on Loui Eriksson six minutes into third before a sliding Max Domi partially blocked Henrik Sedins effort on the backcheck.Domi was then denied at the other end on a great backhand that Markstrom, who started for the second straight game with Ryan Miller out with the flu, got with his glove on.Daniel Sedin had another golden opportunity with under three minutes to go, but Domingue was there.Keep going, Sedin said of what the message was on the bench. Its been about the process all year long. I know its been tough. Weve lost a lot of games.The Coyotes opened the scoring 1:22 into the second when Richardsons shot off the rush glanced off the stick of Vancouver defenseman Alexander Edler and past Markstrom short-side for his fifth. The Canucks challenged the play for offside, but the call stood.DeAngelo made it 2-0 on a broken play at 10:45 after Markstrom overcommitted to Martin Hanzal att the side of the Vancouver net.dddddddddddd The puck slid off Hanzals stick and into the slot where DeAngelos deflected shot floated into the empty goal for his second.Things were looking good for the Coyotes at that point, but Richardson crumpled to the ice with a right leg injury a few minutes later after a collision with hulking Canucks defenseman Nikita Tryamkin, who stands 6-foot-7 and 265 pounds.Medical staffs from both teams attended to Richardson for several minutes before loading him onto a stretcher and to a waiting ambulance. The Coyotes said they expect to update his condition on Friday.Its a big hole we have to fill in the middle, Domingue said. He plays crucial minutes in crucial areas of the game, but just the fact he goes down like that, it is a big bummer for our team.Vancouver got on the scoreboard at 2-1 with 4:15 left in the period when Sutter took a pass from Daniel Sedin and buried his fourth of the season and third in three games.The Canucks much-maligned power play then evened it just 2:13 later when Henrik Sedin threw a nice backhand pass across the ice to Edler, who in turn found Daniel Sedin in the slot for his sixth.Again, we came from behind and got the win, said Hutton, whose team fought back to beat Dallas in OT on Sunday. Thats not the way we draw it up. Wed like to come in and get the lead and maintain the lead, which would be nice.
