What do you think will happen in the first 3 rounds of the DeGale v Groves bout.

I'm not sure if it will be a cagey opening or they'll get at it.

I hope both get the opportunities to show their qualities. I think that Groves comes across as a much more down to earth and likeable man but I do think; win or lose; DeGale will go further.

Head clash within 30 seconds. TD. Not!!
I hope they just go at it. There's real needle between them.

I'm really hoping that there's no crappy stoppage. Who is the referee for the bout?

yeah i just hope they go for gold and it ends up as good as they have promised

groves is going to go straight to degale & hopefully not load up too much.if he stands off he'll go the same way as smith.

Man of the moment Howard Foster i believe.

Mmmm; I've not seen the controversial stoppage but I didn't think that Tom Dallas had done enough to win. I've seen him referee well though. Both of these are tough and competitive; I hope that they get the opportunity to give it all; (It's a shame that the referee from the Prince Arron v Sam Webb bout isn't on, he didn't lose his nerve).
