Amateurs means fuck all when it comes to the pro ranks. I won't even waste my time giving examples of fighters who lost to other fighters in the amateurs only to smash them in the pros.

DeGale's insults/bad boy persona is so transparent. By all accounts, he is a decent lad outside of the ring and is just trying to build up this character to raise his profile even more. He is trying to be like Floyd Mayweather in front of the cameras but it just doesn't work for him.

Groves seems to be winning each of the 'rounds' in front of the cameras but, at the end of the day, DeGale is the superior boxer and will outbox him. Will probably stop him late on, too. Groves has too many flaws in his defence and they will be exposed unfortunately.
i dont think its fixed (or an act) but even if it was i am enjoying it, arent you?

it's made it bigger than the world title fight that is topping the bill

and its easy to bet on degale in this fight, people are singing degales praises a little bit too soon if you ask me, i think we might find out a thing or two
