Bad fight indeed, but understandable since Groves pulled out. Gotta protect the upcoming payday against Abraham. They can do it, since Hamdan is WBO-ranked due to having a regional WBO-title.
Was looking forward to Stieglitz-Groves. Was hoping George would win causing Degale to wander into traffic out of disbelief.
In 2 yrs time, DeGale will be among the top 3 along with Tony Dirrel and possibly Thomas Oosthuzen. Bute will be chasing Ward to HW and back to LMW, and Froch, Kessler and Stevenson will he past it, while Steiglitz and Groves will be outclassed and Dre Dirrel will be running marathons from the likes of Librado Andrade and Tony Bellew.
Friday I though, yeah, ERod has a future in the top 3. But after Saturday, seeing TO take those bombs and fight like a man possessed.....He's clearly the better. And you got the wrong Dirrel. Tony will be the families first and ONLY titlist.:deal
This proves WBO once again is under the big 3 (WBA, WBC, IBF). No credibility has Stieglitz after Berrio knocked him out in 3 rounds and Librado Andrade in 8!
