DEGALE vs GROVES

heating up

 

Ref went straight over at the end of the 3rd to talk to James DeGolota about his fouling.

2-1 Groves.

 

Another round for Groves, who is moving nicely away from DeGale whenever DeGale gets into range.

MTF

 

Groves looks pretty good. Good generalship and boxing IQ.

 

Groves is better than I expected him to be. Good fighter.

 

Question to the UKers.

If these guys are both pretty good prospects, why are they knocking each other off instead of beating up on bums before going to world level?

 

DeGale is getting done here: Groves is moving, flurrying, moving and flurrying to very good effect so far.

3-1 Groves

MTF

 

3-1 Groves.

I tried to tell you guys the Paul Smith fight didn't mean anything. Smith is basically a scrub, Groves is much better.

 

3-1 Groves. I think Groves is being forced to work hard and will tire in due course.

 

39-37 Groves

Groves is the superior boxer, but DeGale appears much stronger. He might catch Groves with something that turns the fight.

 

Groves kicked DeGale's ass that round, much busier fighter.

39-37 Groves

 

Yep. Smith really was not a litmus test. Groves more so.

 

Groves is a good, skilled, classic boxer by the way. Doing better than I expected here.

 

Embarassingly, what we have seen so far enhances Haye's reputation.

 

Why the hell did Lexus get Kylie to advertise their new luxury compact? I don't get the thought process there. Who does she appeal to?

 

Neither of these chaps is in Joe Cals level, I am afraid.

 

Women with no tits and men with dicks.

 

De Gale needs to just get his hands up and just apply some meat and potatoes pressure & volume.

 

Degales pants falling off and he stuck his gumshield out there. Less of a clear-cut round there. I think 4-1 Groves, is fair.

 

Better round for DeGale, landing a bit more, but still probably Groves' round

MTF

 

Ugh, he's starting to remind me more and more of Slappy.

That said, don't see what is so special about DeGale.

 

At the Bell Centre, hoping Groves can take this. :bears:

 

Watt has Degale 1 point behind after 5. Not only is he illiterate, he is innumerate.

 

Still don't get it. She's an aspirational lifestyle figure for upper middle class, middle aged people? Melon scratcher.

 

Do you have the infamous British commentary????

 

Even round dawg. An under utilised scoring tool.

 

Groves fights nothing like Slappy Joe, nothing at all. If anything, DeGale is a poor man's Slappy Joe.

 

Degale won that but he barely landed any more punches than Groves.

4-2.

 

58-57 Groves

DeGale starting to turn the fight.
