    Totally mate, i said it as soon as Degale got beat, he needs to fight Anderson and beat him convingly to restore his confidence fully. He can then make out that he got robbed etc and his head will be straight for the future. Simply fighting a few bodies over next 2 fights whilst Groves moves onto Euro honours will simply create a divide in levels so degale can whistle in asking for a rematch.

    However should he beat Anderson (which i dont fancy him to do, and didnt before he lost to groves either) then he fully deserves a shot at Groves and would get a rematch alot sooner/easier.

    If Jorge can get more money in his 1st defense against someone easier than Anderson then thats what will happen & I think it will

    I do like Anderson & as entertaining as their 1st fight was, both guys were not fully prepared & can perform much better

    I would love to see Groves-Anderson II (& before DeGale II) & DeGale-Anderson

    Dont see any ducking going on, Jorge has his sights set high & may not even defend his Brit/Cmw titles

    I'm not sure how far Groves will go in the sport, but I do know Anderson is a tough but limited slugger. He will never go beyond European level.

    Groves beat him fair and square, albeit after suffering all kind of hell in the fight, and will be moving onto bigger things.

    :lol:

    It is amazing what DeGale fanboys claim about the fight. They mistake a close fight for being a robbery just because their boy lost. I can't imagine Groves' fans saying otherwise.

    Let's put the myth that DeGale is anything special to bed.

    :lol: both pretty good for Hype jobs....What does that make Audley? he must be the biggest brit hype job there is.

    Joker.

    And Groves has no reason to fight Anderson again.

    Yes, Anderson had two weeks notice for the Groves fight, but he was already well into his training camp for Quigley. So using that logic you could also argue that groves only had two weeks notice. He was in very good nick on fight night. But don't let the facts stop you believing what you want to believe.

    On the Nelson thing, I'm sure it was him. I might be wrong, but if you can be arsed you can dig the relevant threads up.

    The facts!? You are making things up as you go along mate.

    Team Anderson, including yours truly, moment before the Groves ringwalk. Anderson had been with Kevin Maree for over a year at this stage.

    Re the Degale fixture, I know kenny would take that fight no problems, if it happens he ends any chance of a golden career for degale. kenny has a couple of fights coming up in the next few weeks so fingers crossed he gets a big fight before the end of the year. He has shown 10% of his potential thus far
