Great night, very close to call but at the time I thought DeGale landed the cleaner shots and I had it 6-5 in rounds to DeGale.
With a fight that close, you can't really argue with Groves getting the decision though. He surprised me last night and fought a very good fight.
With the talk of a rematch, I can't see it happening anytime soon. Their paths will cross again in the future though, no doubt about that.
Also, from where I was sitting I couldn't see why the Cleverly fight was stopped. Cleverly won all 3 rounds but the Polish bloke appeared to be putting up decent resistance.
The Frankie Gavin fight was a bit disappointing. Maybe that was due to Mutley being too negative or the fact that Gavin should be fighting at Light-Welterweight. Still, he boxed well but nothing exciting to report on that fight..
All in all though, was a great night out!
