Comments Thread For: James DeGale, George Groves in Near Backstage Brawl

BIGPOPPAPUMP11y ago

JAMES DEGALE and George Groves were involved in a massive backstage bust up in Liverpool today. The super-middleweight rivals were weighing in for their respective bouts on the undercard of Tony Bellew and Nathan Cleverly's highly-anticipated rematch. But with both men on edge as they boiled down to the 12 stone limit, trouble flared up. Words were exchanged when the pair walked past each other behind the stage at Liverpool's iconic St George's Hall. Click Here To Read More]

It'd actually be nice if they stripped that title off of Ward and allowed the two to fight for that or perhaps for one of them to fight Anthony Dirrell take that belt off of him and then for the Groves Vs Degale II fight to happen.

Could you specify which ugly kid please? A guy with a long, relatively plain and not at all handsome face like Degale shouldn't call other people ugly.

I don't think it's hype or it would have been done in front of the cameras. This all kicked off back stage. Now one has to question if both fighters are going to be fully focused on their opponents tomorrow. This could be beneficial for Periban and Mommys boy. Until I see video or pics you know what they say

IF it happens. I'm hearing Ugly Kid got manhandled again Could you specify which ugly kid please?

LOL. I get a kick out of hearing about these two talking sh*T to each other. I loved the build-up to their first fight

11y ago

Of Course it's hype! There's a lots of ca$h involved. I see them both fighting for alphabet titles next year, GG(WBC) & JD(vacant IBF) The money will be massive in an all UK unification when it happens! Hope we can get future rematch with the London Boys. Just for the build-up really. I think the fight would be competitive, but I need Groves and DeGale to rekindle that pre-fight **** talking
