    He's regressed since leaving Booth. It's a shame because had legit talent.

    Sly if that guy ever went to school the place needs flattening. Credit to you though for managing to decipher whatever it is he's trying to say. I made out that he doesn't like George Groves but after that it's a blur.

    Which dirrell are we talking about? The one who ran against froch and won an oscar against abraham or the more active **** younger brother?

    He beats the younger brother in a dull fight but gets played with against the actor.

    DeGale is better than Groves

    Groves would get beat off Dirrell

    DeGale and Dirrell would be a better fight.

    Nearly. On that first line it's 'you're'.

    He'd have to turn up like he did in the first Froch fight and not run out of gas to beat Dirrell, but that's a lot to ask for so I'd say Dirrell knocks him out mid-late rounds.

    I don't buy this Groves has been "Cobra'd" rubbish more just that he has went down hill since leaving Booth. If he had stuck with Booth he'd have smashed Froch in the first fight.

    If he turns up like he did in the first Froch fight he would win by KO in the first 4 rounds. Let's not forget Dirrell was VERY lucky to get a draw in the first fight he had with Bika even though he won fairly the second time around. As it appears though Groves is now on a downward spiral and Dirrell has a bit of momentum behind him.

    It's still a very hard fight to pick for me a real 50/50 based on their most recent performances but Dirrell seems to be getting better and Groves seems to be getting worse so I will pick Dirrell.

    Apparently Groves went to the ring versus Douglin very cold

    On current form Groves would get beat against Dirrell and Degale would spark him out...as some have said he needs to make it up with Booth if he is to have any chance of saving his career.

    he sure did get cobrad, but groves sure boxed his head off for 80 percent of both fights put together :)
