DEGALE vs GROVES

Strong punches there.

DeGale took one. Thought the left would've hurt Groves.

58-56 Groves

 

Round six was DeGale's. Landed a couple of decent shots and is starting to make Groves lead a little.

MTF

 

4-2 Groves after 6.

 

THese are the sorts of fights where I try to pick people out in the audience.

 

Groves threw in a butt there.

 

Groves won the 7th. Watt is trying to create another controversy here. At times Groves reminds me of Vitali with his sheer awkwardness and jerkiness.

 

So far it appears Groves has won four rounds clearly.

68-66 Groves.

 

Groves is looking tired. DeGale's allot more relaxed which'll probably pay down the stretch.

De Gale sure as shit ain't a future p4per though. Ain't got it.

 

Give that one to DeGale, landed some hard punches, though maybe Groves landed more.

67-66 Groves

 

Seventh was Groves'. DeGale starting trying to come forward again and largely go picked off for his troubles. If Groves had some power he'd be a very decent prospect IMO.

5-2 Groves

MTF

 

Hate to be the kind of guy that says I told you so, but I told you so

Like I said before, I was honestly bemused by how highly you and Slicey rated him.

 

Anybody who is watching this for free should ask for a refund.

 

Like Pirog, I just enjoyed watching his style so much I saw what I wanted to. Similar fighters with similar shortcomings.

 

It seems closer to watch, but I have ths fight 6 rounds to 2 for Groves.

 

Very slow round. DeGale won what was of it.

76-76 Even

 

78-76 Groves

Already gave two even rounds, but I think in a fight like this it cna be justified.

 

Fair enough Hut. I think Pirog is much better than DeGale by the way.

 

Eighth was hard to score IMO. Might have been even

MTF :dunno:

 

Jim Watt's voices bruises my soul

 

Most of these rounds are very close, I'm giving them to Groves because I think he's controlling the pace and landing cleaner shots.

 

Groves cut.

 

Fight over?

 

87-86 Groves

Real strong round for DeGale. Groves needs to move and kill the pace again.

 

Big round for DeGale, but it came off a headbutt and a cut which allowed DeGale to get work done.

 

6 - 3 DeGale.

Damn, looks like Jamie boy is taking over and might take Groves out now.

 

See, in the context of really close fights with allot of close, nothing rounds like this I always think there's a justification for scoring a big round like that 10-8.

 

Groves is starting to get messed up.

86-85 DeGale

 

..But you know it will be 117-111, 118-112, 115-113 deGale in the end, right? ::

 

DeGale also went low in that round. He's a cynical guy.

 

Best round of the fight by miles and DeGale won it clear. Threw more punches in three minutes than in the entire fight up to that point and landed plenty. Groves hurt quite badly late on in the round. Both cut in a clash of head.

5-3-1 Groves
