DeGale quotes on Hearn

[sammy95]

For me, Degale beats Groves UD but wins it clear.

It's a shame he acted how he did when he first turned over, as he could be the SMW Anthony Joshua right now.

He seems to have really humbled in the last few years, since he signed with Mick Hennessy and losing to Groves.

...it does seem very amateur from Hearn to not have him signed to a proper deal, although it could have had clauses in that has invalidated the deal - activity, topping bills, winning purse bids etc.

I'm a huge fan of Degale and believe he will go on to dominate and potentially unify the division - I only really see Callum Smith as a threat to that out of the current World level crop (although Gilberto Ramirez could well be a threat...haven't seen much of him to date).

Degale is lazy, that's my fear for him if he comes across someone who can dish it out and sustain it.

He almost snatched defeat from the jaws of victory against Dirrell.

The kid who just scrubbed Abraham looks like he's a force to be reckoned with.

If they have a rematch DeGale wins on points.

DeGale doesn't have one punch knock-out power at the highest level.

I'd only seen bits of him previously. Not sure if Abraham was just there for the taking though.

Sets up some interesting unification fights. Is Ramirez a draw over there?

the question Did you just come across the word durable? was sarcastic (lowest form of wit i know) due to your apparent love of the new found word. Very strange, yeh I've used it a few times so it must be a new word.
Yes I am a Groves fan and you quite clearly are a DeGale fan/Groves hater. Yes I like DeGale I've been following him from before he went pro. Don't be childish i'm not a Groves hater.
Yes Groves has stamina problems, but he doesn't quit when his gas tank is running low. FACT So you can admit he has stamina problems= durability problems.
Yes Groves has been dropped, but he has gotten back up and fought on. FACT
Groves has only been stopped by one man Carl Froch ("Froch isn't a power puncher" apparently). 26 fights, stopped 2 times. 26 fights but only 3 at world level and got stopped twice and dropped in the other, nice way of masking that.
Apparently Groves has no durability yet took your hero James DeGale 12 rounds. FACT. I told you already DeGale fought too causiously in their first fight and i'm sure he will change tactics if they fought again, look how they've both progressed since that fight...
Again, the fight more than likely goes the distance and its a close decision victory either way... I don't think that's the consensus at all most people think DeGale wins by stoppage or a clear points win, your the only one picking Groves.

yawn
Kenny Anderson dropped Groves (before Groves came back and stopped Anderson) before he met DeGale the first time and DeGale didn't drop him.
DeGale is trained by the same man who trained him for the first fight. Why would this fight and the gameplan suddenly be majorly different? Really stupid question, how about because they didn't get the decision last time? Why would you fight the same way? Haha only in your world does that make sense
They have both progressed since, so I don't think it would. DeGale has progressed into a world champion beating world class opponents, Groves has lost every time he has stepped up to world level so not great progression.
Fight goes the distance, close decision either way. Nope, clear win for DeGale.
Get this fight on asap... Its not gonna happen DeGale has got his sights on unifying and moving up, Groves can continue calling out Callum Smith.
