If they want a rematch they need to do it by winning fights not moaning. Get DeGale a quick win in July and then fight the European Champion. That will force the issue.

Good call by the board. I really want to see a rematch, but it's not neccessary and will only kill the drama to follow. My prediction is that Degale will still go on and win a version the world title in the next couple of years and Groves will trail slightly behind. Think about the buzz around a fight like that when both boxers turned themselves into ppv starts.
Thank god. Warren and Degale should be on suicide watch for the next 48 hours, seen Jim Mcdonell walking into the job centre today. fun times.
well done to the board of control for not giving in to frank warren, warren has no right to "demand" anything, it was a close fight and well done to all three judges for seeing it that way. as the judges scorecards were read out, my fear was they were gonna give someone it by about 6 or 7 rounds, as soon as i heard how close the scores were, i knew they'd got it right. (makes a nice change)
