My tea was spilt in the process, but it was worth it!!

115-113 Degale

Any people who don't think it could have fairly gone either way are kidding themselves.

When they announce a maj.draw do they call it majority decision at first then?

I can't remember what round, but there was a round I just wasn't sure. To either score it a draw or just about Degale.

With that round scored as a draw. I had Degale the winner by a point. It was a close fight and could have gone either way. I wanted Groves to win and happy he did. Though I thought Degale won it.

Degale gave away the majority of the first half a dozen rounds. Degale came on stronger later on in the fight. In which I thought he just managed to nick it right at the end. Having been down for the majority of the fight.

Possibly the sixth? 6 shots between them and little to split it.

Yeah, it might have been. It was somewhere in the middle rounds. Was watching it with my brother and drinking so can't really remember. I gave the round to Degale on the RBR but right as I posted it. I wanted to score the round a draw instead.

The round didn't mean much on my score card anyway. With that round scored as a draw. I still had Degale the winner by a point!

Close fight but had George Groves as the winner. He kept nicking the rounds and DeGale didn't seem to know how to deal with him.

Same here.

That is how I have got it as well as I have just watched it.

Groves has more heart than Degale.

Groves was totally gassed in the last round, nothing to do with cuts.

I had DeGale 115-114 but was of the thinking that it could easily be the other way depending on what the Judges impression was... Which it turned out to be.

I was more taken aback that my scorecard agreed with Jim Watt's!

Groves by a round for me, but I was definitely giving him the rounds that felt close.

I think if I was scoring without bias, I'd probably have given Degale quite a few more rounds than I did based on him landing the more meaningful punches.

Warren has a case to be pissed off, just not at the judges.

I had Groves 115-114

Groves 115-114

Deserved the win.

had deGale by 2.

not sure how a fighter wins a belt on the backfoot when his opponent has the centre of the ring and lands the cleaner punches.

but DeGale didnt do enough emphatic work and threw too many single shots, neglected the body and waited for Groves to give him an opening to counter when he should have been forcing the action as well as commanding the ring - so he only had himself to blame for losing to an inferior talent

Degale by 1 or 2 rounds...it was a close fight though...at worst a draw for Degale...i think a lot of people on hear are scoring from there heart and dislike for him

In one

I didn't score so can't really comment , but there was no way I had degale losing just from my feeling of the fight

115-113 Groves, very glad he won, controlled the pace of the fight, landed more and made Degale look clueless. Degale was awful though and I do expect him to come back a better fighter, he seemed to have the speed, power and chin in the fight but Groves had the gameplan and stuck to it excellently

im hoping to get ,my site boxingscorecard up an running again as it got hacked into at work along with other personal e-mails etc

i had it 115-114 groves

on holiday in lanzarote asn all in the wee pub were rooting for groves

very close fight though

I had it 115-114 degale. if degale didnt win it was a draw! god knows what the judges were smoking. personally i dont think the crowd helped the judges score it by screaming every time groves threw a punch regardless of the quality. clearly needs a rematch but haye knows groves got lucky thats why he doesnt want the rematch. Decisions like this give boxing a bad name IMO.

Yea right! you have it spot on. discraceful to see degale to lose his undefeted record that way!

Welcome James. Did the cut need any stitches? Why can't you deal with lateral movement & why don't you use your jab?

I had DeGale by 3
