In all fairness there is still not a lot between Groves and Degale
Groves is miles ahead of Degale. When they fought, I actually had Degale sneaking it, but since then Groves has improved dramatically with every fight, while Degale has stood still if not gone backwards. He's talked about bad knees, groin, all sorts of excuses. Until last night , I've never seen Degale fight more than a minute a round. Last night was a bit better, but he got tagged a helluva lot against a guy who although decent and game, was not World level. If they rematched tomorrow , Groves would probably stop Degale in 6-8 rounds.
