    Yea it's a hard choice Degale seems to be coming on since Groves and I don't know if Dirrel has fizzled out since the Super6 he sure hasn't looked as good. Whatever the out come I love the fights coming down this year. We should also get Groves-Anthony Dirrel. Hopefully both Dirrels don't win so we can have either Degale-Groves 2 or a avenge your brother type scenarios either Groves-Andre Dirrel or Degale-Anthony Dirrel.

    Dirrel does look different but it might not nessasily be worse he is definetely not moving as much, maybe its a mental thing to get him to prepare for taking shots, probably has gone back though


    I think Degale is just made to beat some like Andre aswelll stylewise so its such a tight call I think Andres better overall but Degale has what it takes to put it up to him. I think il put a bit on Andre for the odds but its a tight tight call

    Do you know if DeGale was carrying an injury for the groves fight or if it happened after he does look a more free moving but he has been fighting poor oppositionr.

    I've heard rumors but I haven't seen anything legitimate. Groves can be very slippery when he wants to and he was especially so in the Degale fight. The fight was still very close and could of went either way. Degale has been a bit more serious it seems about his boxing career since the loss which is good but he still fights flat footed at times, squared up with his hands down. Dirrel has very fast hands he better not bring that **** into the fight.
