    Good effort with this, these threads are good. I think Degale will stop Groves in around rounds 6-9

    I'm still going with DeGale.

    Funny how some have changed their minds on the back of that Ringside interview last night!

    Its amazing how pre fight talk and hype can change opinions it is very rare that words outside of the ring make a difference to the events inside of it.

    You can talk a good one but...

    cheers boys. will get a Haye vs Klitscko one up next week.

    I think DeGale will win a UD that will cool the hype. Think Groves is winning the mental battle so far.

    George Groves simply has not changed, in fact the more he won, the more he fell in love with th David Haye style. Haye is insanely talented, its not for everyone. Even for Haye, I think it is wrong but he can get away with it most of the time. DeGale had similar flaws and started off as the shitter fighter but he has matured better than Groves.

    Then again, I didn't think Groves was taller and bigger than DeGale but it seems he is. With his ambush style, Groves might be able to win it due to that.

    At this stage, I'm torn though I think technically DeGale has become the better fighter.

    One thing I saw yesterday was DeGale admit that Groves is a big puncher. For him to even say that as a slight compliment shows that Groves power is something he is worried about.

    As Groves said he is the puncher, he is the one that punches with a closed fist.
