    What sort of thing happened since? Is there a rematch? If so when, if not did/is Groves put(ting) his feet to the fire? If not, who are they lining up? What's Fwank saying? This is a pretty bad blow for him, right?

    What have they both been saying? Did DeGale take it on the chin or whine? Has Groves acknowledged that it could have gone either way and that?

    Cheers boys, I've tried piecing it together with google but I don't know what the ****.

    Groves was humble and is more concerned about improving his weaknesses from the fight...

    DeGale was a **** who say's he was robbed (i thought DeGale won the fight), but refuses to acknowledge any weaknesses he has...

    There's also no rematch quite yet

    That picture is a ****ing disgrace. But it least it's not that one of Hatton.


    Cheers for the other posts. Is a rematch looking likely or are they putting it off until "they both have world titles"? I take it the comish told them to **** off, there was some talk of ordering a rematch last time I was up on this?

    in the interviews i have seen with degale he really doesnt seem to have learned anything from the experience. when haye and khan lost they changed so much about themselves and there setup but it seems degale is reluctant to realise he needs to do the same.

    A world class wanker.

    In the presser after the fight, McDonnell sounded really upset when he said Booth called him a wanker :lol:

    DeGale should **** London off and go American, hire Naz or Atlas as his trainer and do some grafting against various styles, he needs a serious reality check and I think Teddy would provide it

    Mayweather would actually be a quality coach for JDG, maybe even Pernell.. I think JDG needs to go somewhere he can get top level sparring to progress him though. He should be a level above where he's at now and that sparring would bring it out of him, I just don't know where he would get it.

    Mayweather and Degale?

    You really think what he needs is a trainer with an even bigger ego than him?
