DEGALE ALL DAY LONG.......................

Degale has shown me far more ability so far. If I picked Groves it wouldn't be based on anything. I also thought Degale was unlucky not to get the win in their amateur fight.

for some reason I can't even figure out for myself I tend to go against the bookmakers. I KNEW Brook had more up his sleeve than Jennings but I went Jennings....and likewise when most people went Chisora I went Sexton (admittedly I'd seen a bit more of Sexton and nothing that really impressed about Chisora (until last night)....I'm the guy that tipped Big Mac to take Haye late and duff him up based on Braithwaite and Mormeck type encounters....

and part of me wants to say Groves.......I like an underdog, I don't like Bookies and their chicken-sh*t odds, and maybe I'm a romantic......but if I had to stick a load of dough on this I'd say Degale. He has an air of capability about him, and when necessary he can do more than the other guy. It's a cliche, but what they say about them Gold medals rings true in Degale's case. I think he'll do very well. I hope Groves can too.

Maybe you should give betting advice and we can all do the opposite and get rich

Groves to repeat his am performance

DeGale.

Have to agree with Bigh, think it really would be hard to seperate them... If i was to put my last pound on one of them ad go Grooves but it would/will be a interesting fight... Many times did they fight at ams??

50/50

Was a big groves fan to start but after his YouTube video the other week and his performance the last time out I'm not sure. Yes it wasn't the worst performance but just got me doubting abit. Plus I've liked the last couple of degale performances albeit they've not been for very long. Definitely will be a good scrap, just hope it gets made for December (carnt see it happening though)

hey may be a grade a tit but theres no denying degale is a very talented boxer with a bright future ahead of him....

I think Groves,

I think he has fought at higher level and has beat most more impressively in my opinion, although De Gale was impressive on Saturday.

Groves' jab and punch range is better and has a better chin I think. In my eyes Degale only wins on speed and I don't think that will be enough to beat Groves.

Groves also has the edge because he's beat him beofre and no matter what level its at it must count.

Why do you think Groves has the better chin?

Degale for me. Don't like the guy, but think he is looking better so far.

Degale for me.
Starting to look a bit tasty is james.

Funny Degale does nothing for me at all.

not even in a tight pink t-shirt?

No just cant see it.

Heart says Groves. Head says it's a 50/50.

I think Degale is the physically stronger of the two and has a better chin.Groves has better technique i think and is a bigger puncher in my opinion and speed wise i think they're pretty even.Very intriguing fight.Thinking about it abit more im slightly fancying degale because of the chin issue but i think its a very hard fight to call.

Just think that he's had it tested more than DeGale so on the evidence there is I would say that Groves is more used to being hit and therefore is more resistant to punches.

Groves KO, both have very bright futures tho but i think groves has better technique and hits a slight bit harder.

It has to be DeGale doesn't it?
