Groves vs Degale might actually happen.

I really didn't think it would happen when it went to purse bids - but seeing as Sartison is fighting Steiglitz in a unification of sorts (good fight by the way) - then maybe it might just happen.
Degale all the way - too quick, too big.

off topic about groves and degale...so Sartison is the regular WBA champ...Ward is the Super WBA champ (though he doesn't hold another world title) if Sartison wins this fight to become WBA/WBO champ...what happens to his status then, as within their 'rules' unified champs become Super champs.
Would they have two Super Champs, thus paving the way for someone else to win the regular title? Would Ward and Sartison swap places? All very intriguing.
I'm still backing Groves btw!

Degale should win this if it happens, but it is still a dangerous fight for him. Groves has power and there is genuine needle between them.
Groves is capable of landing a big right on Chunky and if he does, it could be goodnight Vienna.
Really hope it happens.

Fair play to Groves.

Agreed. There shouldn't be such a stigma against losing your '0' anyway. Who'ever wins can regroup and carry on. For the record I think degale will win in a thriller.

This. If he does lose then he'll know where he needs to improve

Sartison would be the Super Champ, and Ward would prob be the Super Duper Champ! Anything's possible with the alphabet bodies.

Anything is possible and has already happened.
Take a look at the WBA Featherweight rankings. Jonathan Barros holds the 'normal' World Title, Yuriorkis Gamboa holds the Super version for no apparent reason other than he's a potential superstar. The icing on the cake, however, is Chris John who holds a version of the WBA title with the moniker 'Unified Champion'.
All three are set to defend their prestigious titles in the coming weeks.

Great, aren't they? They must think they are in the 1920s and can turn up with a belt and think no one in another country will find out, kind of like a traveling salesman who they find out at his funeral that he had a secret family in another town all the time.
