Groves-Degale: Who do you think won...Vote

[Manos de Piedra]

Degale v Groves

I had it 115-113 Degale

Who do you think won and post your scores.

I had it 115-113 for Groves. Really could have gone either way as there was a lot of close rounds. I just felt Groves countered well and landed more. DeGale seemed to miss an awful lot

I had Degale winning by 1, but i missed the first 2 rounds. So im just basing it on commentator's opinion. I'll watch it again at some point but there was alot of swing rounds, very hard fight to score.

[Mark TKO]

at the bell I thought - well it's not going to go to Degale. Remember feeling same way re Eubank at end of Benn II.


Thought a draw would be called tonight. No one can grumble really about the result not after this one. Groves won the fight but nothing was resolved. Hopefully these two both go on to better things then meet up in 2 years or so for unification bout. There's every chance they won't but there is a chance they will

I had Degale by one but Groves really impressed me.

115-113 DeGale, it's easy to see that close rounds could have been given to Groves with influence from the crowd. I feel this fight was one of the most fairly scored on the year though and have no complaints. The stoppage in the Clev fight was ridiculous on the other hand.

I found it difficult to score as well. When Jimmy Lennon Jr. said the word "majority" i thought the next word would be draw. Close fight could have gone either way. But Groves' tactics and boxing did surprise me, before the fight I thought he would be stopped late on.

The best bit was when Degale started celebrating when Jimmy Lennon said still undefeated haha, then he realised that also applied to Groves haha.

Couldn't agree with you more mate. I think the crowd would have gone mental if the fight had gone Degale's way.
The cleverly fight stoppage was ridiculous. cleverly would have stopped him in the next few rounds anyway.

I had it even but couldn't argue with Groves getting the nod. Got to say didn't think he had that kind of discipline in him. Also have to admit Adam Booth is one of the best tacticians in the game. Wasn't sure about him until the last couple of years but he has really shown he knows how to get the best out of his fighters!

Bed time now! lol

Yo, to those who scored the fight round by round, what was your verdict? I had it a 114-114 draw.

I had Groves well up 4-1 after 5 rounds but DeGale came back into it and grabbed the last 2 rounds to scrape a draw on my card. As he was the front foot fighter the whole fight im surprised the judges didnt edge it for DeGale, I definitely thought that was the way it was going when I heard the scores.

I need to watch it on tv to have a better view but for me it was a clear win for Groves, His movement was good, he didnt get suckered into a scrap and he kept it going for the full 12. I think he landed the better shots and he did it more often. Degale was looking confused at times he thought he had the fight won before it started and thats what you get for believing your own hype.

He expected Groves to come and bang away and when he didnt what else was he was going to do he said he'd beat him whether he boxed or brawled well he boxed good tonight and degale didnt do what he said he would.

Even if Deale had stopped him in the 12th it wouldnt have meant much except saving degales bacon.

Only been back an hour or so and im still buzzing!! Great night......oh yeah met Naz too!

Sorry about that. I didnt see this thread, due to it not having DeGale or Groves in the title. It will get a lot more poll votes with a proper title imo.

Nothing to be sorry about, I had to delete my "Macho Man Randy Savage died today" thread just yesterday.
