I think this whole 'rivalry' is bullshit and is being acted out to make this fight seem like they are both going to war.

Amateurs means fuck all when it comes to the pro ranks. I won't even waste my time giving examples of fighters who lost to other fighters in the amateurs only to smash them in the pros.

DeGale's insults/bad boy persona is so transparent. By all accounts, he is a decent lad outside of the ring and is just trying to build up this character to raise his profile even more. He is trying to be like Floyd Mayweather in front of the cameras but it just doesn't work for him.

Groves seems to be winning each of the 'rounds' in front of the cameras but, at the end of the day, DeGale is the superior boxer and will outbox him. Will probably stop him late on, too. Groves has too many flaws in his defence and they will be exposed unfortunately.

This fight is pure 50/50 and these press confrences mean nothing. James ain't fazed and George ain't fazed but i do feel for George to win he may need to get James out early.

It's unfair to compare them after the Smith and Anderson fight as for me George would have got the 'sitting duck' out of there quicker than James did as i believe George is the bigger puncher. Would Anderson have put James down? Probably not but that happened becasue George made a stupid mistake in trying to slug him, Something James would not have done. However them body shots George used to stop Anderson will also break down James if he lands them.

Personally, i'll be there on the night and just hope for a decent tear up.

i dont think its fixed (or an act) but even if it was i am enjoying it, arent you?

it's made it bigger than the world title fight that is topping the bill

and its easy to bet on degale in this fight, people are singing degales praises a little bit too soon if you ask me, i think we might find out a thing or two

I enjoyed the first press conference but the repetitive stories and childish insults are getting a bit tedious now.

i havent really watched that many so maybe i would get bored of it too

its been a while since we have had an all british fight with so much riding on it tho, and one that is so close to call, ok degale is the favourite but you wouldnt put your house on it

Agreed. DeGale's chin hasn't been tested yet so will be interesting as it's a certainty that Groves will land early.

You sure about that?

I dont think hardly anyone gives Groves a shot, Boxing monthly did a little poll with boxing trainers I think it was 27/3 in De Gales favour, I think De Gale is far to polished for Groves at this stage he is also 1/4 - 1/5 on it is harldy a 50/50 on paper mate.
