I came online to tell my fellow boxing fans that SS3 will be showing this fight. Let us analyse together. Rendevouz in 14 minutes. PS - I guess everyone is at work, I got off early
I've got an even better prediction. Groves will stop him twice. Tune in around 4:50 and again at 4:53. Watch this space..
This was a great fight, the only good thing about the Haye/Harrison fiasco. Hope Anderson comes back, if he'd had more in the tank he might have got this one. Fair play to Groves for getting through, he fought badly but he showed a load of guts.
you got to admit groves trys really hard to fight like haye. the way he steps off, pivots, his mannerisms, his sweeping punches, his head feints etc maybe booth only knows how to train what haye taught him
George is still to vulnerable despite him learning alot from the Anderson fight as he resorts to trading when he takes a couple, and finds himself in a spot of bother because of it. Degale has developed faster with more maturity when he fights, and has better ring IQ than young George. Cannot see George beating Degale at this stage of his career. I think Degale will eventually overwhelm in the latter half of the fight, probably stopping him. George is not the seasoned enough to beat Degale yet, but maybe in a few years perhaps?
My fear is that Groves has made no technical analysis on DeGale since the start. Behind DeGales talk he has spoken technically of Groves immitating Haye, Booth trying to make him Mr Technical and him seeing red mist when he gets caught flush. I would go some way to agreeing with all 3 points.
