Re: My take on DeGale Groves live
Big Shame for UK Boxing...this had the potential and the new breed of fighters to be a cracking night.
Warren needs to pull his finger out fast.
I mean what or who has he really got left to offer compared to a few years back..?
I'd have been massively pissed off if i'd have forked out for a night like that!

very harsh lesson learnt for JDG, he paid the price for believing he was far better than his opponent and got dragged into a dog fight
where next...
george groves - sky is the limit, as previously said on another thread that "0" commands extra poundage in the bank balance department. Booth may choose to get him out there commanding respect off of big US tv companies by challenging the likes of magee/zuniga etc, they may take the option of a couple more tune up fights in britain ala:smith/dodson etc
james de gale - reputation has been somewhat tarnished. Majority expected him to win, minority even expected him to win big but he got beat by this supposed average fighter he told the whole world groves was beforehand. Keep him on undercards with the likes of gavin, saunders for the time being and let him get that winning ethos back, before sending him out again on a groves esque mission that may come too soon for him
Do you ever actually watch the fight? You know Groves is the white bloke right? ;D

Cunt. Fact.)
However, forget all that gloved up shit
What really happened between Fury-Chisora!?!?
They got into some massive barney through most of the 3rd/4th rounds of Gavin's paint peeling exercise. Fury stripped his top off & Chisora took off his jacket, but for no obvious reason left the Fedora on, which Fury flicked off his head. They then started rucking before a mass of security got in there & seemed to beg them to stop rather than forcibly do it. Then about 25 security guys were needed to escort Fury from the building. At some point he'd managed to get his shirt back on. It was the first of many fights in the crowd on the night ;D
