Groves v Degale 2

[Master]

There are some big domestic fights to be made against De Gale, Smith, Eubank Junior and dare I say it Froch with his ego!

Groves will get better now and use his skills better.

Best thing about the other night was the reception Groves got, it was surprising how interested the fans were (who obviously were there for Brook). He was absoultely chuffed over it. Always looks great when Brit fans go all full blown patriotic for the undercard bods.

Groves accepted the small cut when trying to make a deal with DeGale earlier in the year (it's all caught live on an IFL interview) but that's obviously changed now he has a belt.

There's no stars in the supermiddle division but some excellent young guns coming through - Benavidez, Ramirez, Murata, C.Smith, Eubank jr etc

Definitely the biggest fight in the division (wonga especially) is a unification between Groves-DeGale.

So does this make David Benavidez (USA) Groves WBA mandatory now?

[Fenster]

The winner of Dirrell-Smith have to face Benavidez.

Imagine what Eddie thought about that. All the wheeling and dealing to get Smith a title then from out of nowhere pops up some unknown young killer you have to fight (if they win/keep the title, of course).

Whilst Paul Smith ponces about doing a bit of comms and bashing up fat Latvians in his spare time - the WBA give him a shot every other week. Boxing.

It would be interesting.

I do think that DeGale is a better, more complete fighter than Groves ...... but Booth and Groves pulled off a masterful psychological con job on DeGale. They also realised that DeGale would never fire shots off unless his feet were set, which was the basis for all of Groves' work in the fight.

it looks to me that DeGale has fixed that flaw now

De Gale is better now and Groves is as good as he is going to be. It will be another close fight. Just feel Groves has the psychological dominance over De Gale and will win.
