    I streamed it onto my tv. Fantastic stream as well. I wasn't ever going to pay for it. A horror card with horror action. Frank Warren has single handedly destroyed the status of ppv imo. They used to mean something.

    Total joke of a PPV....Frankie "Not So Fun" Gavin was rubbish....no fire in his belly.....another typical Warren fighter who will be let lose on the World Stage when hes rakes up 40 wins against nobodies.....Cleverley looks like a knockout waiting to happen....and the ref in that fight was D O D G Y has hell...no way should that have been stopped. Groves v Degale was like watching 2 amateurs fighting and basically thats what they are.....all in all Great result for Groves and a SMACK in the GOD for Warren.....will be interested how many paid for the PPV which should have been called "This Is shIT"


    Job Biscuit (For the record I did score the win for Degale)!!!


    eh eh!!!
    It's nice to see you to see you nice

    the argument for and against both fighters is there

    at the end of the day it came down to a flip of a coin, groves got the nod largely due to the fact the fight ended with him still punching and de gale appearing out on his feet

    very harsh lesson learnt for JDG, he paid the price for believing he was far better than his opponent and got dragged into a dog fight

    where next...

    george groves - sky is the limit, as previously said on another thread that "0" commands extra poundage in the bank balance department. Booth may choose to get him out there commanding respect off of big US tv companies by challenging the likes of magee/zuniga etc, they may take the option of a couple more tune up fights in britain ala:smith/dodson etc

    james de gale - reputation has been somewhat tarnished. Majority expected him to win, minority even expected him to win big but he got beat by this supposed average fighter he told the whole world groves was beforehand. Keep him on undercards with the likes of gavin, saunders for the time being and let him get that winning ethos back, before sending him out again on a groves esque mission that may come too soon for him

    i like the tune up fights idea for groves

    not too sure about smith and dobson tho, yep he would more than likely beat them but if he did fight them then he has had a very tough start to his career

    id look a bit lower down the order

    to be fair as i posted paul smiths name i did think to myself would booth really wanna just throw groves into an all out brawl this early on

    i just hope we arent left with groves fighting messy guys just because of the fact they have goodish records and its something to add to the cv. He isnt world level by a long way yet but the potential is there

    Do you ever actually watch the fight? You know Groves is the white bloke right?

    However, forget all that gloved up shit

    What really happened between Fury-Chisora!?!?
    They got into some massive barney through most of the 3rd/4th rounds of Gavin's paint peeling exercise. Fury stripped his top off & Chisora took off his jacket, but for no obvious reason left the Fedora on, which Fury flicked off his head. They then started rucking before a mass of security got in there & seemed to beg them to stop rather than forcibly do it. Then about 25 security guys were needed to escort Fury from the building. At some point he'd managed to get his shirt back on. It was the first of many fights in the crowd on the night

    I have to say i had Groves winning by the end. He did the better boxing. Groves countered pretty well. I'll have to watch the complete fight again although im certain my scoring wont change maybe just what rounds were whose. There were occasions where Degale was trying to unload but was only hitting Groves arms.


    Alot of what degale comes out with may be hype but there's a big difference between hype and complete disrespect. I dont think Groves should give him an immediate rematch he should move on now not neccessarily on to bigger and better but just different go for other British scalps then maybe head for the european. It was groves 13th fight i hope they dont rush him now let him continue the learning process because in all reality that's all this was it just happened to be surrounded by a lot of hype.

    Lets see if degale has been humbled a little, i hope so. And that pose he does as his name is announced in the ring?? love to see that disappear lol
