    The degalevs groves beginning was absolute comedy gold! Does anyone reckon degale will come good on his prediction of knocking groves out within four rounds?

    Also, Bernard Hopkins' interview was class, the man sure does have some wit I could listen to the dude all day long what an absolute legend.

    Also buzzing to hear the maidana vs morales fight is on sky!!

    I concur with the Hopkins love, that guy comes across as a very deep and intellectual man who speaks so much sense. He has found another fan in me after that interview...

    I loved this week's ringside all the way through. The DeGale/Groves bit was a little too awkward for me and it quickly just looked like two kids arguing on a playground. Nothing against George Groves though this was down to James DeGale and his constant imature 'ugly, ginger kid' comments. Imagine if George Groves called him a 'cocky, black ****'?

    Now before anyone says I'm racist, I'm just saying. (and I'm not ginger either lol) Of course Groves is above crap like that but it's completely unnecessary, especially when DeGale is hardly the best looking himself (no homo).

    Still it was great to see them together and I'm glad the fight is finally signed.

    The Hopkins section was class. Some of Adam Smith's facial expressions early on were hilarious. Then they all got settled down a bit inside Bernard's home and it was a quality interview. Bernard Hopkins is the most inspirational man I've ever heard and I genuinely mean it. Whenever he talks, even if it's about the most meaningless subjects, I'm fascinated and listening to every word. A truly remarkable man in my opinion.

    Groves weaknesses are deceptive... I’d rather fight Andre Dirrell than someone like George Groves.

    And before you say DeGale is just a British version of Andre Dirrell...



    There is a dimension of Bute.

    To be fair, it was a **** fight. Even Ricky Burns knows that. The show was running long as it was. DeGale/Groves took a little too long. Then it was good to show bits of the Martinez fight and mention Cotto/Mayorga. Then by the time the Hopkins bit ran they were out of time. They got Darren Barker in the studio just to say 'yes' 2 or 3 times then they were done with him :lol:

    They did quickly mention Ricky Burns in the montage piece at the end where they showed the top British super featherweights to build up Liam Walsh's fight this weekend.
