    De Gale is the kid of the back of the bus spitting paper through a McDonald's straw at the kid with glasses, whilst laughing and s******ing to his mates.

    Couldn't agree more, but I always hear from people who've met him who say he's actually quite a warm, personable bloke. :think

    Most of the accounts Ive read of people meeting personally say he's a nice bloke. He wouldn't be the 1st to project a public personna to help sell a fight, spending time in with Floyd may have rubbed off. Perhaps losing to Groves as an amatuer still annoys him & he really wants to set the record straight, hence all the uglykid/smelly breath/dodgy hair nonsense.

    The more I think about the fight the more Im swayed towards Groves, he does look a bit feisty & will be very determined come fight night.

    What did Degale say at the stare down. I truly hope Degale gets carried out of that fight on a stretcher.

    Everyone loves an underdog & he's a live one. How can you not root for the quiet ginger kid fighting the trash-talking champ?

    when these both turned pro i was saying i fancied groves to beat degale, as they both progressed i changed my mind and picked degale. in all honesty now, i think whoever get the best quality sparring during training camp will go on to take this...

    The night of the fight, most people will expect DeGale to win but hope that Groves does.

    I bet he gets the bigger cheer when announced.

    when someone natters too much it can show that thier the nervous one!.

    degale isnt even funny or effective with his talk,just childish and stupid.

    Groves will KO degale,degale is NOT slick,he has looked good vs slow crap sluggers.

    Degale is selling tickets. he is clever enough to know that the most bankable personality in boxing is the bad guy. Eubank Hopkins Mayweather all make millions of of it. For every quiet hard working humble honest pro that people rally behind there are hundreds that don't get the paydays.

    the irony is that Degale behind the scenes is that honest humble hard working pro he is dedicated and wants to get to the top and he doesnt let his ego get in the way of his prep and learning. that might be the image he shows the press but the reality is much different.
