    They were both meant to fight lesser foes in keep busy fights but now both have got mandos to face.

    Agreed, but TBF there isnt a lot of call for them to fight again, the first time it was two unbeaten prospects, and Degale had the momentum, looking to avenge his amateur defeat, now Degale has 0 momentum at this moment, they fought recently and its just not as attractive a proposition.

    Groves wanted a stay busy fight in December then picked up an injury.

    Agree with you mate and groves aint going to become a top fighter if he just keeps on beating degale and taking his titles:hi:

    And also, no rematch means, no build up , means less of Degale talking on tv

    And that can only be a good thing lol

    Arrogance without wit should not be given airtime its pitiful.

    Both DeGale and Groves are in much more interesting fights which will actually allow us to gauge their development.

    Those 2 in the main events alone make it an interesting night which deserves some promotion.

    be interesting to see who degale gets in his next fight as hes meant to be winning a world title or at least a version of it this year.

    I don't want them to fight each other again this year. Infact im fed up of them both being asked about each other.

    2013 earliest I'd like to see them fight, hopefully one has a world title.
