Announcement tomorrow regarding Groves-DeGale

[rjj tszyu]

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....

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.

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
