My stream was very laggy so i couldn't see what was happening, but it seemed to me that on of james plans was to fight groves on the inside. I think he tried it in the first round but couldn't. Which leads to the question of what exactly their game plan was, wouldn't be surprised they degale thought he was a floyd mayweather/andre ward who could just adapt as the fight went on.
DIDN'T GO TO THE FUKIN BODY ENOUGH! He would rock Groves, back him up into the ropes, swing at his head a few times and miss then he would pull back
seems like him and his Corner didn't have a Game Plan, seems like they wanted to just go out and beat him just on TALENT ALONE
I think not going to the Body and that weak Hit and Run Jab that he was using or what ever the hell that was...it was funny because when Groves would become the aggressor, for some reason DeGale would Freeze Up
he was too afraid to let his hands go sometimes because he didn't want to get countered I guess and it cost him, I had it a Draw or DeGale by 1 but it really could have gone either way
yeah i think they mostly banked on degale being able to get inside on groves and if not he would 'adjust' and prove just how good he is. The only 'adjusting ' i saw was him switch hitting

DeGale was too relaxed. LIke he thought he had won the fight before it even began.
When he applied pressure, he was able to push Groves around with his superior size and strength. But, it was a little late. DeGale should've fought like his life depended on it from start to finish.
he fought like an old man who was content on winning the fight on a few well placed shots instead
george groves movement messed him up[/QU
goes to show how much i overrated degale......thought he had the skills to dismantle groves on the inside instead knowing groves moved well. but then again thats an advanced skillset that takes years
i was very surprised with the headhunting actually, i always imagined degale would be like bernard hopkins in this fight...going to the body and doing damage especially in clinches. Seems like he has trouble with movers??
Employing his current trainer. Inept and clueness. Degale needs to start a fresh, unless he wants to carry on fighting at domestic level with his current stable.
Groves was more disciplined and confused Degale for the whole 12 rounds. It was a great defensive display by Groves.
Degale just stalked and stalked without throwing any punches at all. He seemed to constantly be looking for that one big shot/counter punch and threw almost no combinations. Furthermore he didn't know how to cut off the ring and just followed Groves around. Thirdly he didn't work the body alone and was head hunting only while Groves was working him with nonstop combinations.
