    Very underrated!

    Mcdonnel is one step up from the guy at the local spin class imo.

    Degale just couldn't pull the trigger tonight, also had no plan b.

    Be interesting to see who Groves faces next.

    We know what Haye is going to do either hit and run or attempt to get Wlad out early.

    Anyway, Wlad wins by knockout!

    Got to admit I thought before today both Degale and Klit win by KO. Primadonna Kool posted a vid tho - some Setanta interview about Enzo v Haye and it reiterated some thoughts at the back of my mind.

    In the interview Booth was saying "they fell for it." i.e. he knew what he and his team/fighter was doing all along. I was going to put money on Degale until I saw this; Booth was just so self confident and just came across as if it didnt matter what everyone else said, he knew what was gonna happen - Haye KO. He was the same before this fight, ok maybe not as confident but he knew Groves had a much, much better chance than the bookies gave him.

    So my money goes on Haye now against Klit - it may be very basic, simplistic thinking but I do believe that Booth knows what he is doing again, they chose Wlad, they couldve had Vitali but they chose and got Wlad.

    All hail the Dark Lord!!

    Mostly agree with what you say, but no version of Haye beats any version of Vitali in any universe. Haye would break both his hands on Vitali's face before he could knock him down. Tonight's fight definitely added another dimension to Wlad-Haye though. I'm beginning to think Booth has a supreme boxing brain to go with those scary eyes. . .

    Its just his smugness, or at least I thought it was smugness, he just seems to act like he knows something we all dont; and he doesnt give a **** if everyone disagrees! he actually prefers it! I love this though cos if I was to be in anyway involved in boxing I would be like Booth (no homo), as he just exudes arrogance, smugness but most importantly intelligence

    The Hayemaker team exude confidence and bounce off each other, for a fighter it must be great to be part of a team like that.

    This. I think that if Groves was with any other team he wouldve had an inferiority complex with Degale - the Dark Lord eradicated that. But joking aside its so simple just keep telling GG "that hes already beat him, doesnt matter what he says, GG has already beat him and will do again."

    He' s an arrogant twat but he's clearly a top class trainer and there's no doubt about that. Gameplan was perfect again tonight, hats off.

    Very fine margins, he could have very easily have been flogged for not allowing Groves to go for it tonight.
