    Research the Errol Christie v Mark Kaylor fight,a very similar scenario.Errol was the flash,stylish operator,who was being touted as a future star (and rightly so) Mark was the quiet guy,he didn't throw quick flashy combo's or dance around the ring,he was a grafter,and had a never say die will to win.
    Many said Errol would be too quick,and too fast for Mark,but the fight didn't quite play out like that.

    Degale has a long horselike face, whereas Groves has a small childlike face. Therefore, Groves has a bigger target to hit, and a smaller target to protect. Groves wins the face war.

    Lets be honest DeGale's best win is against the absolutely useless Smith...

    I think when you make a bold call like that against the odds and you get it right ESB should stand up and acknowledge it.

    Well done bud! :good

    yea man I had 75$ at 2/1 initially and then I added another 25$ last week when I saw the odds at 3/1

    btw I wanted to ask you if you can explain to me how betfair works because it seems different than other websites.

    Great call.

    What don't you understand about betfair? I use it regularly. Is it the fractional odds?
