It is difficult to say at present. I feel they are both at the same level and the two best prospects at present.

Groves looked like a class act last night. He did a lot of things that other prospects have failed to do, i.e. shown patience, great movement and waited to break down his tough opponent. He got a stoppage against a tough opponent who has never been stopped before and looked great doing it. In comparison, Jeffries and Saunders faced tough journeymen in their last outing but didnt using their boxing skills to break down their opponent they tried to force the stoppage too early and in the end got an untidy points win.

Who hits harder Groves or De Gale?

Groves has better 1 shot power while Chunky is physically stronger!!

i think both are really genuine quality and its good that the uk has some excellent young fighters coming through

I expect Tony has sparred many rounds with both over the past few years.

At the moment I have been more impressed with George Groves he throws great combo's and works the body fairly well they both look very good though

groves every time i see him he gets better and better, i think the fighters groves has faced so far are better then the fighters degale has faced.

would like to see these 2 face one another in a few years time at QPR ground loftus road, as they are both from that area

Groves is definatly learning as a pro, last night was a good performance, he showed patients to wear his man down, compare it with Jeffries who was trying to hard for the knockout.

I like Groves ,Couldnt believe Jeffries last night. Groves I see a thinker, Jeffries left His brain at home shocking.

Our new Eubank and Benn

Degale just needs to develop a love for monocles and six wheelers and the job's a good un.

Groves reminds me of Richard the secret Williams when be opens up. Good fighter and mire rounded than degale. Good style.

What surprised me was how happy Jeffries was with the performance last night, yes its good he got some rounds, but he needs to look at what he did in the ring as well.
When he uses his jab it looked good, but to often he smothered his own work by trying for the big punch.
Maybe after he watches the tape of the fight he'll realise what work he needs to do.

Don't worry BigMark., i'm pro DeGale as well. Both guys have impressed me
