How does Degale get a euro shot above Groves !!!

[wesley05]

Groves fights degale, groves beats degale,groves wins belt,degale fights for European title groves don,t how dose this game work ??? Maybe you guys can explain ??????? I am baffled

[crusader]

Degale's team secured the fight and Groves' team didn't. Is it news to you that the boxing world is not a meritocracy?

It is really poor from Hayemaker to be honest and Groves would have every right to be pissed with them

[LeedsLad]

Hayemaker seldom do things by the book, I don't think it's any big deal to be honest.

They'll get him on some card in the States soon before looking at options here.

It is frustrating that they seem to be missing out on the chance of capitalising on the DeGale victory.

Don't fret, The Dark Lord has plans for George.

A defence of the British and Commonwealth in London in October would make sense.

Having Mr Warren as your promoter doesn't hurt either.

I thought you couldn't go into a Euro title fight straight after a loss? Hence why the Euro title wasn't on the line for Murray-Mitchell?

Yeah funnily enough I though that.

Must be because it was a close fight. Maybe it's a KO loss that prevents you - or each challenger is viewed on their merit (or % of purse ! )

[LeedsLad]

It's what's called a ''bad defeat''.

I wouldn't say losing in a world title challenge (Rhodes) is worse than losing to a domestic rival in Groves, nor would most people I'd imagine.

The ''coming off a loss'' rule is ludicrous, what would happen to an immediate rematch?

Knock over a bum the week after and you're ok?

I presume that's how they would have swerved the situation, with a gentle run-out against a latvian.

let's hope they're better than his plans for wladimir......"every time you're in a clinch jump on the floor david"

This has been done to death on another thread.
Take a look at Ian McNeilly's article on the subject.
