    I feel exactly the same. It is hard to like Degale after watching that. I will be rooting for Groves and hope he pulls it off, he is capable of winning, no doubt about it.

    Rooting for George to pull this off. I don't know if it is his promotional persona or not, but Degale is severely lacking in class. Will be a selling point for this fight though.

    I feel the same way. His arrogance and his ego is inflating big time. He really needs to calm down.

    Hope groves knocks him out, Degale is a twat.

    Groves looks the bigger and stronger of the two, wonder if that will tell on the night.

    I make degale slight favourite but I really want groves to win!

    To me, degale is the more nervous of the two. What isit with him and his embarassing insults? Cringeworthy.

    I really want Groves to win this fight I cant stand DeGales's attitude but he does have some good skill.

    I wonder what they will title this fight.

    I would prefer a bitter longterm rivalry filled with simmering animosity a la Eubank & Benn with them kissing & making up eventually. We might get several fights between these 2 down the years depending on how the fight goes.

    The media will play the good guy/bad guy angle on this. Clean-cut softly spoken ginger St George vs brash trash-talking DeGale.

    Degale will always be a bell end. I think it's his mechanism for coping with the spotlight. He can be disrespectful, dismissive, arrogant, rude and talk some utter shite. But IMHO it's a great tool for the build up of this fight, and I am looking forward to more bull shot.
    It's only a matter of time before James does something that makes George blow his lid. Now THAT'S what's going to make things interesting

    Oh God....DeGale is a such as a talented fighter and will probably go all the way, but I just can't help wanting Groves to pummel the shít out of him. Which makes me sad 'cause if that happens DeGale will probably never reach the level he's got the potential to.

    There's selling yourself, then there's being an absolute wanker.

    DeGale by TKO.

    i know they're young but in comparison to guys like eubank and benn, GG and JDG just seem like boys. like little babies.

    id love to see the dark destroyer against either of them

    As long as they would make up eventually, I'd be all for it, but knowing DeGale, it'll be two years later and he's still going on about how he beat that 'ugly kid' :roll:.

    I hope not. Surely DeGale has some class in him.

    I'm ni work, so cant see the link at the moment, but is it just a case of Degale acting up to sell tickets?

    The reason why that angle won't work.

    I honestly doubt that. It doesn't seem like the type of attitude when coming to sell Tickets.

    DeGale took it too far (for my liking).

    DeGale could work in McDonalds and still spew the same level of shít that he does. He's just that type of person.
