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

When will fighters learn , if you mouth off im going to KO this bum etc , and the knockout doesnt happen , then you are setting yourself up for a fall.

Jim McDonnell said " fighters like Degale come around once in a lifetime "
Well Jim , Degale isnt special, he has a lazy style - he doesnt punch correctly - he doesnt punch hard enough to go to the very top, the list goes on.

DeGale = rank average.

I thought Groves won about 7-5. Excellent gameplan. Stopped DeGale from getting off the eye-catching flashy combos up close. Constant movement. Adam Booth is a smart funker. He made Jim McDonnell (who I like) look like a mug. They should have been ready for Groves to change tactics. Haye has been saying one thing only to do the opposite for ages now.

Good result for British boxing. Groves now has a springboard to bigger things and DeGale can easily come back from that. Might have done him good as far as his actual boxing goes.

I did not score the fight but I got the impression that Groves was edging most rounds.

Also DeGale seemed a bit fazed at the reception he got from the crowd.

[IronDanLaw]

I was at the fight and scored it 116-112 for Groves.

I was at the fight too and thought pretty much the same.

[HattonTheHammer]

i had it 115-113 de gale but voted groves on the basis that a title fight thats that close can go either way and should never be debated about post fight

Finally watched it Groves won 7 - 5 close but not an exciting fight and why did Booth give away their strategy on the sky show? They will be fighting again in the future?

I think because the cat was already out of the bag so to speak.Booth gives nothing away for nothing.

If they fight again then I guess the strategy will be a bit different again.

Who knows were Adam Booth is concerend.
