I think it was Dimitri Sartisan for the WBA "Regular" Title or whatever it is.

oh ya i forgot the wba has like 3 titleist per division ... but wards the real guy with the title. sartisan wouldve been a solid win though.

I don't think it's that big of a deal that he turned down the shot in order to fight Groves.

How often does Warren send a top prospect to fight in Germany? Very rarely. Sending DeGale over there wouldn't be a good decision even if he is the real deal and ready for the fight.
