Groves was made to look very ordinary vs Kenny Anderson. Tough pro that he is, if he nearly gets knocked out by Anderson, DeGale is going to make him look very silly.Quote:

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:

say what you like about paul smith but the bloke can dish it out and take it at the same time
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).
