Announcement tomorrow regarding Groves-DeGale

[HattonTheHammer]

I still can't decide if the bad blood between them is genuine or has been part of the 'sell' along.

The same with Haye vs Audley.

Former friends, now hate each other, then friends again after the fight.

Still, I'd be pissed off if one of my so called 'friends' went on national tv calling me ugly. (I'm not by the way, I'm gorgeous).

groves was handing it out to degale the moment he won that gold medal

degale wants revenge for getting beat in the amateurs and the fact groves has told anyone who will listen how he beat him up in the amateurs

theres bad blood there definitely

I've got one thing to say to you dude:

Superheavyrun, that post has been reported to Saddo.

Bullying has no place on this forum.

De Gale IMO is going to make Groves look daft. As one or two others have said on here I too think he truly is destined for greatness. I'd love Groves to win but I have to be honest with myself and say Groves has close to no chance.

I think the Smith fight has too much on it. If you watch DeGale vs Kobal from the weekend, I can't help but feel DeGale is a bit too Pitty Patter to get to greatness and is a bit short on power. I'd say Froch at SMW would steam DeGale.

I thought he was just using last weekends fight as a glorified sparring session like he said he was going to, he spent most of the fight in the orthodox stance and looked comfortable doing it against a limited opponent in fairness. As for Froch, yes right at this minute De Gale is too inexperienced for that level BUT I feel that when he reaches his prime, it will exceed where Froch is right now.

Anyone watch Ringside??

Dear dear me...... James DeGale is seriously gonna win 0 fans at all..... He's actually just like a child..... And a child that thinks he's gangster...... I'm really beginning to develop quite a serious distaste for the guy....

[boxingbantz]

That 'ugly kid' bullshit is lame as fuck. It's become very boring.

Fair play for Groves not rising to it. 99% of the people watching the fight will want him to win. Unfortunately it's not going to happen and we're going to see an even more smug James DeGale.

[Cressa121]

Yeah I saw Ringside, DeGale is like a fucking kid. The best he can do is constantly call Groves an ugly kid? Pathetic. I respect his skills and like watching him fight, but he's seriously hard to like out of the ring. Groves did well I thought, stayed calm throughout its just a shame I can't see him being able to shut DeGale up when they fight

couldnt have put it better myself

and in general Groves has by far fought the better opposition

perhaps if you compare all their opponents smith is the best but the next few would be anderson, admamu, that mexican fella

[tomcy03]

From a PR point of view DeGale is thick as pig shit but I still think he's going to prevail.


Winning over fans aint gonna happen though, just hoping it's as competitive as we're hoping- gotta be tasty whatever happens!

Maybe degale is playing the dick on purpose. It's worked for floyd mayweather
