    :lol: He hasn't even done any boxing since he retired I think he said recently he hit the pads for the first time since he retired.

    I think this was the key. I still think Degale is more talented than Groves, but Groves has really tested himself in sparring and no doubt been roughed up a bit, so when it came to fighting Degale he had some good experience of mixing it with better fighters than Degale to draw on

    Was in not just Eubank jr? He seems to have a similar style to Degale

    I knew he had been at the gym, but I reading Boxing News and they said it was "top secret" I was expecting some world class fighter, but Jnr is still an amateur.
