Degale v Groves

I had it 115-113 Degale

Who do you think won and post your scores.

[Cressa121]

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

[ICB]

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

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.

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.

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.

[Manos de Piedra]

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.

[skel1983]

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

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.
