George Groves vs James DeGale- Bad promotion/matchmaking?

You've also got the added dimension that Degale is a complete tool. Many people want to see him get beat. He keeps calling groves 'ugly kid' which is bit rich considering he has a head like a potato.

stevo78 is right, I can't think of any reason why competitive match ups shouldn't be made.

 

I totally agree with this point. However to tell someone who simply just asked a question to 'shut the **** up' is childish and immature at best. Which unfortunately seems to be a common trend among most boxing 'fans' these days.

 

At the end of the day, I'm happy it's made. I'm not a guy who wants to see boxing fights banked on, because at the end of the day, I'm not the promoter nor do I care how much money can be made from the fight. If they're that good and it's destined to be, they'll meet up again in the future when they both advance, this doesn't put a nail in the coffin of a future matchup between the two, and its great to have the fight whether its when a fighter is past their prime or not near it.

I'm much happier with this than the disappointment you receive when a fight like JML/Gamboa gets derailed.

 

groves will get owned.

 

Forget about what's good for boxing and the casual fans, man. It's done. It's not getting revived on the level it used to be at. It's forever on a downslope.

 

thats bull**** man amir khan, sergio martinez and the young upcoming boxers will hopefully build and restore boxing to its former glory and im sure a 20th century mike tyson will eventually come around.

 

Yeah, well let me know how that goes.

 

go watch mma instead then

 

I already do, I love both sports equally, but I'm not gonna hold out and hope for an injection into boxing that'll bring it back to the heights it was once at. Be happy with what you've got.

 

I got a feeling this is gooing to be a great fight, one where both will come out of it with their heads held high..

 

yea hard well boxing will eventually come back strong mma atm is just lay and pray and prefer watching boxing atm.

 

This fight was ordered by the BBBoC, Groves is the mandatory challenger for DeGale's British title

I agree that the fight would be better if both guys had had 20+ fights instead of now but its still a big domestic fight with plenty of personal history behind it

Credit the board, the promoters & the fighters for making this fight happen, I cannot wait
