I thought Groves won a close decision over DeGale. It was Groves fantastic footwork that won the fight for him. He knew not to stay in range with DeGale and put in a very good win, though I rate DeGale and Groves very highly for putting it on the line so early in their careers against each other

I think he will be a contender, might get a title but won't do anything major.

I also thought DeGale won. I think Groves has the ability, he sometimes lets himself down with his technique.

Funnily enough I think the win against DeGale did Groves more harm than good. DeGale is now the much more accomplished fighter.

I thought he was looking uncomfotable at times with GJs bodyshots, and if you don't remember him getting hurt against Sierra then you need to watch the fight again.

Thought he lost by 2 points to Degale but was highly impressed with his win over Glen Johnson, especially with his focus and stamina, although it was a shell of Johnson he kept up a great workrate and stuck to the gameplan. I love the unorthodox angles he throws his shots from and seems to be constantly improving. I think he beats Degale in a rematch, Stieglitz and even AA right now.
