Degale-Groves BM Poll Impact on Fight

To be honest i didn't personally know one person backing Groves in this fight

 

It might have made DeGale more confident.
I put a bet on Groves to win at 11/4, but confess it wasnt a confident bet. I had a feeling Groves was going to go on the back foot and imagined several different outcomes for the fight before making the bet.
Groves ripped up the script and after watching the fight again thought Groves was a bigger winner than on the first watch. I thought the commentary was a bit bias but maybe that is just me.

Still it is all good for British boxing as neither fighter suffered a bad KO and now we have 2 great prospects after the fight instead of just 1

 

who picked groves

 

I can't believe how favoured degale was based on 2 fights- Groves/Anderson and Smith/Degale. Remember before that the hype was all for Groves and people were unimpressed by Degales progress. Not that it bothered me too much, if he hadn't have been hyped up so much I wouldn't have got the 14/1 on Groves pts!

 

yea, 2 other things i think may have made a difference, in the Anderson fight Groves was ment to fight 2 or 3 weeks before, so have peaked on that date wouldnt of felt his best a few weeks later, also, this time around Groves would of been able to have alot more time 1 to 1 with Adam Booth, with Haye not fighting for 6 weeks

 

nice aftertiming

 

yeah i agree on the Booth point. I also think trying to use the boxing skills vs Anderson was just the wrong way to go. Not that he couldn't box but to deter anderson he had to plant his feet and try and push him back. The degale fight was obviously a completely different style

 

yea true true. who would like to see him in with next

 

I know it sounds like that but feel free to check my older posts, I did say that I thought Groves might take it

 

Can't remember both but Matt Scriven picked Groves!!!

I haven't done much singing about it but I always felt Groves would win.

The only other person on here I can remember confidently picking Groves was Mr Palmer!!!

 

that was blind love:yep:yep

 

Magee would be a good fight I reckon. Hayemaker seem to like to push their fighters and keep putting them in with better tests so I reckon that would be a useful test. Wouldn't be bad to watch either. Can't see the point in going backwards for him now though, he's progressing fine as he is. What do u think? :think

 

From Mr Palmer maybe.

I saw the Anderson fight as a huge positive as opposed to a negative. Groves has a good style and had style top beat him.
