So now Degale looks better all of a sudden !
He went 12 rounds with groves and was never really hurt, some say he should of won ! Where does he fit into the the British/World scene now ?
Re: So now Degale looks better all of a sudden !
It's different though. Froch and Degale have completely different styles. Degale is a lot harder to tag than Froch is and also Degale and Groves fought 3 years ago now. Groves has probably improved since then whereas im not sure if Degale has or not.jessi wrote:He went 12 rounds with groves and was never really hurt, some say he should of won !

Re: So now Degale looks better all of a sudden !
Groves is FAR better than he was when he fought degale. Not sure can read loads into that. Judging purely on their performances this month, I'd say groves would beat degsle far easier second time around
Re: So now Degale looks better all of a sudden !
I think he'd beat him but im not sure if he'd knock him out. You have to remember that Degale is very quick himself and not easy to tag when he's fighting smart.Groove Armada wrote:The Groves of last night was a better George. The version last night beats Degale by KO.
Groves is an ever improving fighter.
Re: So now Degale looks better all of a sudden !
Degale went 12 because Groves never tried to hurt him, he had a completely different game-plan. I also believe Groves has improved significantly since that fight whilst Degale hasn't.
Re: So now Degale looks better all of a sudden !
That is true regarding him going in for the kill but we have to remember that Degale has much quicker hands and feet than Froch and is a lot more elusive. Negative even.DMA1987 wrote:Degale went 12 because Groves never tried to hurt him, he had a completely different game-plan.

Re: So now Degale looks better all of a sudden !
Degale can justifiably claim to have won the last two fights. He is a dangerous guy for Groves and one to avoid.

Degale v Froch would be interesting?
He was calling out the winner

Be interesting to hear DeGale's thoughts on the stoppage and the fight itself.
Re: So now Degale looks better all of a sudden !
Degale would be an even worse matchup for Froch than Groves was I think. A slick, fast, southpaw who by all accounts has a very sturdy chin. Going on gym reports, etc.rossij8 wrote:Degale v Froch would be interesting?

George under performed in that fight and was 2 Years ago
Re: So now Degale looks better all of a sudden !
personally would pick degale against froch and im a froch fan, all wrong for him
Re: So now Degale looks better all of a sudden !
I agree - Groves got his tactics wrong in the fact he tried to slugRogers21 wrote:personally would pick degale against froch and im a froch fan, all wrong for him
Degale could win on points v Froch if he was tactical all fight

I've not seen a poster so completely up the arse of a boxer since BNovelist and Cotto.
Re: So now Degale looks better all of a sudden !
I'd still be intrigued in a Groves Degale rematch but I want to see Degale face better opposition (eg a fight with Bika). He can't f*ck about in his next fight IMO has to be a final eliminator at minimum.

I agree, while Degale has some things that are worst than Groves IMO - Power, punch output (although not necessarily stamina)... he does look more "solid" than Groves.
