    I scored it for DeGale but he certainly didn't get robbed. And he beat him by a smaller margin than he did Dirrell

    He beat dirrell by 1 point, you can even argue a draw including the two KDs, he beat grove by 2 rounds easily and still got robbed.

    Hi mate, how's things?

    I was very concerned about James overtraining. He trained for an awful long time. He trained straight after Christmas, right up until the fight was officially confirmed and the date was set. Jim then gave him a week off to relax, until he returned for his official camp. I think they initially thought that the fight would either have been in April or early May. So it was a huge concern for me, because I'm a big fan. I thought he looked exhausted in the second half of the fight. But I thought it was a great intriguing fight, and I'm really pleased for him.

    The Degale - Groves fight was a pick em i had it 115 -113 To Groves, no robbery at all Controversial yes.

    If they fight again though i go with Degale as he`s the one who has put his head down and improved.

    Hi Loudon long time no debate, i dont think Degale was exhausted, he just saved himself for the championship rounds, which was spot on as he took the last two rounds, Championship thinking

    Hello mate, I'm OK, you?

    Yeah that's definitely too long, even more so when you're training under a slave driver like McDonnell. If that was the case hopefully they realize it and don't overtrain again. Maybe fighting over in the US had something to do with it too. He didn't look at all nervous on the night, quite the opposite in fact, but you never know maybe he might have been burning up nervous energy beforehand worrying about fighting over there for the first time on a stage of that magnitude.

    I too thought it was an intriguing fight and I'm very pleased for him because as you probably know I like my amateur boxing and I've rated him highly since his amateur days.

    Well they all have a lot of skill and talent. Thats for sure.

    Tough to rate them. They are all pretty close to eachother imo.

    1. DeGale
    2. Andre dirrell (fùck anthony)
    3. Groves (hasn't looked very good lately)

    Thats just at the moment, since degale obviously beat dirrell and groves.. well. We all know about groves ATM.

    I wondered what the hell was going on

    He did next to nothing for so many rounds :huh:huh

    I cant rank these 3 and glad im not the only one!

    Dirrell - showed he can not only win by running and holding, but he can be damn hard to beat by standing his ground too. Also showed some real heart (!) after getting through R2

    Really did himself a lot of favours in that fight, The Resurrected was a fitting name

    Groves - a guy who now gets seriously underrated since being Cobra'd. No shame in losing to Carl, and he beat the **** out of Carl in their first fight, anyone else would have been hospitalised if they shipped what Carl did in round 6 alone, Carls just that damn tough

    Groves was good enough to beat Degale twice in close fights

    The 3 of them seem to be very even, and anytime either fights another, no one really has a clue who will win

    Power - I'd go with Degale
    Speed - AD
    Skills - Groves

    Without the power the other night Degale would have lost that fight for me due to AD's speed.
    When Groves and Degale met, Degale never had that power. If they met today, I think Degale knocks Groves out.
    If Groves and AD met, I see Groves beating AD better than Froch and Degale just did.

    Yeah this, GG is on the slide. I would have given him the edge over Dirrell before he got Froched though.
