He is a class act, he's unbeaten, he punches harder than DeGale (for my money) and there is animosity - he will be primed and really pumped up.
I can see him going to the well and digging deep to win this, I really hope he does. Maybe even by mid to late TKO if he gets in close.
Of course DeGale won't make it easy, he is a fantastic fighter and the favourite, but I have a feeling George will pull out a performance and deck him.
If I'm wrong I'll be the first to come on here and hold my hands up. Just think Groves has more up his sleeve than people give him credit for.
I'm hoping for the same, or at the very least that it's a hard-fought, even fight with both giving a good account of themselves.
The last time I was as excited about 2 of our guys fighting was Haye/Macca, I just hope it doesn't pan out in that sort of confidence crushing manner.

It's funny how we are all looking forward to this fight but really it's viewed as a mismatch across the board.
The survey of Britains trainers in Boxing Monthly came up 29/2 for DeGale.
The last time the experts were anywhere near as unanimous was Holyfield v Tyson 1
