    Rewatched the fight there

    James DeGale got robbed, It is a travesty DeGale has a defeat on his record when Groves spent the day running away.

    No chance.

    Robbed?? :lol:

    It was a close fight, Groves edged it for me.. so I agree with the decision.

    Ran all night? He didn't run at all. He boxed off the back foot & engaged when need be/when he wanted too.

    He made Degale fight his fight, he threw more shots, landed more shots & Degale at times looked like he was out of ideas.

    "You gonna fight me George, come and fight me"

    "What, you gonna play Mr Technical" ???

    Well 'Mr Technical' came out on top.

    Bellew vs clev andd groves vs degale were both very close. Fights that close cant be robberies

    Groves just won it on my card but it was close enough for either fighter to sneak it without it being called a robbery

    Close fight, but two things swayed it. Groves landed more shots according to the punch stats and he set the tempo of the fight. He made DeGale fight his fight. DeGale was clueless for six rounds.

    At the time I really wanted Groves to win as DeGale had been such a pleb in the build up. I rewatched a few months back and a couple of things I thought were clear: firstly, DeGale won. Secondly, the fight was a stinker. Neither seemed apparent at the time.

    Wasn't a robbery but I personally preffered degales work as opposed to groves negativity

    I had Groves leading at half way, but DeGale wining fight by a round, he finished much stronger than Groves

    In a close fight, by definition no one can be 'robbed'.
