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

[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

Spot on Eric you said this fight would be close, I had Groves winning. Degale look clueless in there, I think we will see the end of Jim McDonnell now he does seem a bit of a cheer leader blowing smoke up his arse all the time, Degale just didnt have a clue on how to fight Groves when he was on the back foot?

That leads me to believe McDonnell did not prepare for this sort of fight he thought Groves waS coming for a scrap, he should of covered all possibilites, I can't believe Degale would of looked that silly early on if he had worked on a gameplan of Groves fighting on the back foot.

Credit to Adam Booth again very good game plan once again from him, does come across a bit of an odd character but he did the biz again last night.

Yeah all those two wally's (Jim Mc/DeGale) went on about was Grove's chin. I mean McDonnell was predicting a first round KO, now normally you'd think that was just hype shit, but it seems they really thought it was an easy KO night.

Groves/Booth mugged them right off.

i agree that mcdonnall hasnt shown himself in the best light

even in the build up he was letting degale run his mouth and sound like a twat

it was more like degale was in charge and mcdonnell was his sidekick

i wonder if they will stay together

[skel1983]

From what I have seen I doubt it, Warren was especially pissed with the tactics, did you see his interview? Haha to be fair who is Warren to comment on tactics he is a fucking promoter but he said the uppercut was there to be landed and wasn't once, he also said maybe the people blowing smoke up Degales arse will be gone, not sure if that was a dig aimed at McDonnell or just cheerleaders who are around Degale all the time.

For me McDonnell is a yes man he has got a meal ticket with Degale, Degale is the boss he is the one paying Jim his wages without Degale he would be earning about 500 quid a fight. Degale needs a change for me not a yes man, I would do a Khan get away from the distractions in London and get on a plane to America and get someone like Richardson or Roach.

I agree with the post above, change of trainer is needed and I think it is better if James went to the USA like Khan did.
