Thread: Groves - Degale 2 might be for the IBF belt

DeGale's Adviser Sees Groves Rematch For IBF Belt - Boxing News

If Froch vacated the belt this could be an option as Gilberto Ramirez says he's not ready for Degale yet. Groves is ranked third by the IBF so is next in line. Groves could either face Degale for the vacant IBF title or go to the states to take on Dirrell.

Dirrell will probably beat them both.

DeGale can beat Groves. In fact, I felt he won the first time. Groves has peaked.

Degale is on a rampage and is improving every performance, groves is on the slide. It still will be a very good fight but I think Degale takes it this time

Groves will try an play his mind games but James will handle it like Froch did the second time.

i think groves deserved it the first time

degale seems to be everyones favourite this time but he was also a massive favourite last time

Eddie has this fight in mind & whilst it won't be as big as last summers spectacular I think it will be better to watch as both guys are young, boxing minds will have to work quicker in the ring and the pace should be fast

George looked sloppy to me in both comeback fights after his back to back losses. He doesn't have James' number despite what he says but he got the tactics right under booth and has the potential to repeat. Degale come on a lot since then and I can see one of those wide left hands from the southpaw stance dropping groves heavy if they fight again.

It will be close again and Groves will play the mind games but I do not think they will work this time.
