    What about Carl Froch. He is as slow as they come and pulls it off?

    the only thing stopping this fight right now is Frank Warren despite what he claims.

    Was speaking to dan about this the other day and I would say Degale has a bad stance with his jab he could make it so much better IMO he crosses it over his chest instead of just letting it dangle naturally! Groves worst problem with the jab is he doesn't change the power! There all very powerful making it more noticeable when coming out IMO!

    Maybe I'm wrong? Groves does need to keep his hands up and he's no David Haye but DeGale isn't either.

    By the way, is Groves actually ugly? I find it hard to tell when it comes to men...

    The level of fighter these 2 guys have fought is shocking! Frank is still letting Degale suck his breasts from the look of it. But I agree I think Groves is going to win by ko inside 9.

    im not sure, he looks like he was hit in the face with a frying pan, plus he's ginger and pale, it's not looking good for him

    I've noticed that with degales jab. He does that sort of rythmic crossing motion in time with his footwork. I think it makes him vunerable and it could also be why he lacks pop. It seems to make his jab come accross almost like a back hand.

    I would like to see DeGale pull birds without Gold Medal.

    Or maybe you just really like DeGale? :hey

    This is partly what my point is. DeGale still does very amateur moves and is alot easier to time than people take on board. Especially the sky team who act like he's the most technically sound fighter aorund when he is very much the opposite... a bit like they do with Nathan Cleverly.

    I think Groves knocks DeGale out… Groves has been matched allot tougher than DeGale to this point. Just look at their past 2 fights. Groves faced an awkward, gangly southpaw who needed to be worked out, and then knocked out.

    DeGale’s opponent was nothing more than a heavy bag. That fight was a total joke and didn’t do anything for DeGales development.

    Paul Smith is the only good fighter DeGale has ever faced and as impressive as JD was, Smith fought the wrong fight.

    He never worked the body, walked forward in strait lines and just swung for his chin.

    If Groves can sort his footwork out, get in close, work the body and rough him up. I honestly see Groves stopping him.

    DeGale is an overrated slapper.

    I cant believe people think JD walks this fight.
