I'll take your word for it, but the two of them seemed barely able to control their smirks during the more heated moments.
I'd rate DeGale as the better of the two, but I hope Groves KO's him. DeGale comes across as cocky, stupid and being a ****.
If some of it comes across as contrived then thats due mostly to DeGale adopting a bad youf from da streets trash talking persona. He isnt like that at all in real life & is trying to sell tickets, some of the things he says just make me cringe. However, this fight has been building since their amatuer days & when they trained in the same club. Groves beat DeGale but DeGale went to Bejing & won gold. Its not intense hatred between them but a long standing rivalry, there will be a lot of talk but dont expect a brawl at the weigh-in. A lot of rivalry behind the scenes on this one as well, its a monster fight.
