    What does that even mean?
     
  3. Tell half a story why don't you, **** house.

    Not a **** sucker at all. I'm all about the beef curtains me.

    There was nothing wrong with the post. Adamu was **** poor. The fight was as much of a set up to look good in front of a crowd as any of smiths fights.

    You can't tell me kenny is any better than smith ATM. He lost in his first step up don't forget.

    And Smith lost to Renda.
     
  5. Write it I meant.

    You think it's poor because you don't agree with it, but it has its own merits in the sense that degale DID convince himself that groves would go after him. This was the downfall in the fight for degale. He was totally bemused and did not go after groves as he should have.
    Smith won't fight that fight. He'll go looking for George and force him into a battle.
    It might not happen, but I think it's a fair guess based in what we know about the fighters. So poor post? In your opinion, but like I said it has its own merits

    DeGale lost because he’s just not that good. What groves was doing wasn’t some shockingly awkward technique – he kept on the backfoot and countered. If DeGale really didn’t expect that, he was a complete mong. Even When Groves opted to trade he often got the better of it.

    Your post was ******ed because it assumes that Smith is better than Anderson (he isn’t) and that DeGale “let Groves off the hook”. Well, he didn’t – he just couldn’t do anything with him on there.

    Yes he is, same happened with Smith but it took him alot longer too step up and his next step up will be the same so he will be staying British level.

    Or more likely what will happen is he will yawn, move back to middle weight cos thats where he should be..the fight with Groves is a nothing fight.
     
  13. The smith Anderson thing doesn't make the post ******ed. It's a matter of opinion.

    Im certainly not suggesting that groves did anything totally amazing in the fight. But the facts are that it was a razor thin decision. The thing is you have convinced yourself degale is **** out of pure hate of the man. To the rational man, it's clear he has talent, but fought the wrong way against an in form and highly motivated groves.
    You have to remember why groves fought the way he did - behind a High guard and on the back foot- degale was as much of a threat to groves as groves was to degale.

    To call my post ******ed is actually quite funny, very yank
     
  14. I think that people are overestimating groves and quite disrespectfully underestimating smith.

    But any how. Tge fight will be interesting. I do think smith would be better of campaigning at middle, but when opportunity knocks. A home fight in front of a partisan crowd, chance to regain your old title. Why wouldn't he go for it.

    I tell you one thing. It will really turn the universe inside out if smith did win!!
