Those disputing the decision of Groves - Degale

The last 24 hours haven't been a great advert for the great british forum. :-(

 

Then perhaps Degale should of shut his ****ing mouth on the run up to this fight and walked the walk when he got into the ring.

Instead, he looked far from being the world beater he'd have us believe he was whilst Groves proved he had far more skill than we expected.

It was a close fight and Groves nicked it. Most people thought so. So did the judges.
But of course, you and your mate must know better than everyone else.

 

Totally agree!!.. only the UK would try to derail their best prospect!! atsch, Degale should throw that gold medal in the bin!!..fighting for his country was an absolute waste of time after the way he's been treated.

 

I can't understand how people think the commentators were biased towards groves, Even after the fight, nobody said "well done to george groves" or "great display of boxing by george" it was all about degale not boxing well, or degale didn't show "what he could do"

I totally disagree with that, and as a commentator you have to be impartial in my opinion, but they were totally taking it away from groves and it was his fight, a win is a win.

That was a great display of boxing by both (barring the fouls) however Degale is a cocky tit who actually started to believe his own shite.

 

He's on point with regards to the commentary team. Constantly criticising DeGale when Groves really wasn't up to much himself. You've never muted a fight before? I'm always having to do it with that Jim Watt. He's clueless.

 

it's how u score them first 8 rds.

cos degale took 3 of the last 4.

thought groves backfoot tactics were getting dicked on too much. :smooch

i accept it was open to interpretation though.

 

Yet Watt and Darke had DeGale winning. You ****ing spastic - the bias against Groves was palpable.

 

I had it by one point to groves, Degale was looking to knock out Groves, Groves was looking to out score Degale, that was the difference and I did say Degale was putting too much pressure on himself with all his threats and boasts, the same as Hagler and Leonard.

 

i gave degale the 3rd.

deffo one of those swing rds.

if u nicked groves a few of those close early rds then u likely had him winning.

down the stretch was where degale took it for me.

after a nip and tuck first 8 rds.

but i accept it was a close fight.

certainly ain't crying robbery about it. :yep

 

Degale was using his head as well. Groves was simply better on the night, and out-thinked him. I think Degale was even lucky with that nasty cut Groves suffered, it looked as though his vision was blurred because of it.

Groves won for me. Degale looked clueless in there.

 

Spot on I had it 3 or 4 rounds for Degale. He clearly did the better work. Groves was on the backfoot all night and didn't do much effective work. Degale was made to miss at times but he showed quality when he did step up and put punches together. Those saying Groves outworked Degale are talking nonsense. You don't outwork someome by backing up and not landing enough meaningful shots. Watch without that bull**** commentary and you should arrive at a similar scorecard.

Seriously Groves did hardly anything himself and going backward. He never once dictated the pace and yes landed a few decent counters but never really enough to win most of the rounds.

 

Yes, the Ringside boys are all Degale as well, when groves was on Ringside he noticed it himself, one of the most Hyped fighters. Degale turned down a world title shot for Groves ? Did people really believe that ?

 

I had it to Groves 115-113.
