Groves and Degale on same bill 9th December

Post by Camcas »

Groves and Degale are fighting on the same bill 9th December at Excel Arena in London, Groves defending British and Commonwealth so id guess it will be Anderson and Degale defending WBO Intercontinental title. Saunders also on the bill!

Why not, his going to have to fight bigger bangers then Anderson soon ! He needs to learn defence then he won't need to worry.

and he needs to earn his keep. Keep him matched hard and hopefully we'll see the benefits in a couple of years

Might go depends on ticket prices and who they fighting. Need good seats to get good view at Excel. I might wait to the ticket give away like last time!

I can understand George Groves getting a quick turnaround after flattening Paul Smith in just 2 rounds, as for James DeGale who had a tough 12 rounds in winning the European title but allegedly is trying to make sure that DeGale is keeping busy and rebuilding DeGale's career after the defeat to Groves and stoke up a rematch within the next 12-18 months.

But for Groves fans having to spend money to watch him in just over a month its asking a lot with Xmas coming up.

Unless it is a Christmas present bought for them but I do agree that is worrying.

Maybe it will force them into promoting the fight to the general public a bit more rather than relying on the same old crowd

Surely we're not complaining about someone fighting too often? More of it I say. It does my head in when fighters only turn out twice a year.

No but twice in a month is a lot for some Groves fans to attend. Also why not name oponents when fights annouced.

Well no-one's forcing them to attend, if they can't afford it they can watch it on allegedly or on a stream.

Great point, no promoter worries about following just yet, especially with a new channel starting.
