He's boxed at the Olympics as well as had a glittering amatuer career. Sparred with the best in the world many times, in the build up to the De Gale fight I think Dirrell was just one of many top named fighters.

Plus for all his failings, David Haye is a boxing fanatic and hanging out with him and Booth has got him used to the big occasions with good advice in his ear.

I think Groves outboxes the German to a narrow points win. Split decision of course (it's Germany afterall)
He has won the ABA's twice and with his wins over Degale he certainly does have a strong pedigree, certainly world title bound and this is why I do think although a risk with him not having the most experience especially when comparing his career with Stegliez', I just some how think hes got the class to do it. At 24 with the way his career has gone so far, you do feel that there is a bright future for him, we will see, hope he can do it.
