    ahead of their eagerly anticipated meeting next month.

    In a candid interview with ***********.com Groves dismissed DeGale’s trash-talk as harmless as well as labelling the Olympic gold medallist a ‘fake celebrity’.
    ‘
    There is nothing meaningful behind his insults, there is no intellect behind it so nothing he said made an impact,’ said Groves about DeGale’s abusive tirade when the pair came face to face on Ringside.

    ‘I don’t think he’s done it to sell tickets or be a pantomime villain, he is just being himself – he’s a person that people don’t like, they don’t take to him and it was like that when he was a kid.
    ‘People didn’t buy tickets to see him fight then and they don’t much like him now. I know he thrives under pressure but this is a different sort of pressure, the pride of northwest London is at stake.
    ‘He won’t be able to pretend to be the type of fake celebrity that he so clearly wants to be after this. He won’t be able to do that act anymore so I’m not sure where he goes from here.
    There won’t be a role for him on the next series of The Only Ways Is Essex after I’ve done a job on him

    :D

    In terms of chat, Groves is streets ahead. Very considered in his choice of words and also very accurate and calm the majority of the time.............................. it's in the ring that matter however! Can't really pick this one, i think it's going to come down to chins as they are both accurate enough punchers to catch each other!

    Game on....:happy

    groves gets tortured by chunky.....

    im lumping a big wedge on chunky to win.....

    fact is groves is 4/1 right now........

    2 horse race, well 3 for the draw and 4 for degale's horse face........

    groves has no chance, not skilled enough to live with degale.

    I've grown even fonder of DeGale, because of his slapstick chitchat. He's an utter idiot, but the James Defail video made me sit back and enjoy his silliness.

    Reading a Groves interview in BN, I started liking him again and would like to see him pull it off, though I'm tuning in hoping for a Degale masterclass to prove he's something special. Groves is a really nice kid and he accepts he went into the Kenny fight with the wrong attitude and gameplan and paid the price. I will say this though; absolutely shocking tattoos. Mostly because of his skin complexion but... jesus George, it's just not on.

    Groves was bullied on Sky Television, he's getting all confident. Because he has David Haye & Adam Booth in his corner, telling him how to act and react.

    James Degale, on the street and in the ring will own George Groves.

    How on earth can anybody think Groves has won the mental battle so far, sky reporters are even calling George Groves "Ugly Kid" aswell.

    Because Groves hasn't been talking like a thick chav.
    DeGale has looked a bumbling fool as usual. Groves has kept it cool and has not risen to his bull****, that said I think Groves is gonna get smashed :(

    Groves has been hurt visibly, and has been crying. Reporters have been using James Degales new Nick Name, for George Groves......."And they have too been calling him Ugly Kid"

    James Degale has been winning this mental battle.

    He actually enjoying it, and having the time of his life.

    George Groves is acting, and is being told how to act and react.
