Clev vs Braehmer
Changed it because BoxingBantz is my twitter name and my blog name. Made sense and made it less confusing for myself. Feel free to call me koppas, though. ;D
i hope it happens
which fight do you reckon has faced the better opposition?
de gales to lose
too fast, too slick for george im afraid
hope groves is getting a decent payday out of this
i really dont see it with either of these guys , Groves is awful , no defence or chin , DeGale just doesnt punch correctly and has little power to take him into the elite , DeGale is also a total prick.

Especially when you consider that James DeGale is hardly an oil painting himself with his long head.Quote:

I also think he is destined for great things but finding it VERY difficult to warm to the guy
Come on koppas, no love for the chunky manQuote:

the sort of fighter who is honest enough to learn from his mistakes and not allow himself to fall into the same hole again. Still think its a bit much asking him to repeat in the pro game what he did to de gale in the amateurs (light years in terms of difference)
de gale is genuinely impressing me with every fight he has
Kevin Mitchell is finished by the sounds of things and is even considering retirement. He'll never get in the ring with Murray. Turning down the fight is the silliest thing he has ever done in terms of his career.Quote:

hope to god he doesnt choose to make his comeback against john murray, any slight ringrust and murray will have him out of there
whats actually up with mitchell ?. Is he just sick of boxing full stopQuote:

he was put down by anderson and an it wasnt a great performance by groves, he wasnt nearly knocked out tho, good fight that one
Smith would beat him.Quote:

Exactly. Which makes the way DeGale stopped him even more impressive.Quote:

not so sure he would destroy anderson tho, it would be a close fight, smith has some good skills and is tough and rugged but doesnt really excel in any department
he isnt fast enough and doesnt hit hard enough to give any really tallented super middleweight any problems
there is nothing defendable about smiths other defeat
DeGale and Groves are both in the Ringside studio tonight on Sky Sports.
6pm.
Should be interesting. ;D

I still can't decide if the bad blood between them is genuine or has been part of the 'sell' along.
The same with Haye vs Audley.
Former friends, now hate each other, then friends again after the fight. :rolleyes:
Still, I'd be pissed off if one of my so called 'friends' went on national tv calling me ugly. ;D (I'm not by the way, I'm gorgeous).

theres bad blood there definitely

Superheavyrun, that post has been reported to Saddo.
Bullying has no place on this forum. :eek:

De Gale IMO is going to make Groves look daft. As one or two others have said on here I too think he truly is destined for greatness. I'd love Groves to win but I have to be honest with myself and say Groves has close to no chance.
I think the Smith fight has too much on it. If you watch DeGale vs Kobal from the weekend, I can't help but feel DeGale is a bit too Pitty Patter to get to greatness and is a bit short on power. I'd say Froch at SMW would steam DeGale.Quote:

As for Froch, yes right at this minute De Gale is too inexperienced for that level BUT I feel that when he reaches his prime, it will exceed where Froch is right now.Quote:

Dear dear me...... James DeGale is seriously gonna win 0 fans at all..... He's actually just like a child..... And a child that thinks he's gangster...... I'm really beginning to develop quite a serious distaste for the guy....
That 'ugly kid' bullshit is lame as fuck. It's become very boring.
Fair play for Groves not rising to it. 99% of the people watching the fight will want him to win. Unfortunately it's not going to happen and we're going to see an even more smug James DeGale. :rolleyes:
Yeah I saw Ringside, DeGale is like a fucking kid. The best he can do is constantly call Groves an ugly kid? Pathetic. I respect his skills and like watching him fight, but he's seriously hard to like out of the ring. Groves did well I thought, stayed calm throughout its just a shame I can't see him being able to shut DeGale up when they fight :-\

perhaps if you compare all their opponents smith is the best but the next few would be anderson, admamu, that mexican fella
