DeGale-Groves, Gavin-Mutley and Cleverly-Kuziemski RBR and discussion thread

[etlux]

Groves fought going backwards 90 percent of the time with Degale forcing the fight. Degale threw the harder punches. Very surprising decision.

who cares which direction he fought the point is Groves landed more punches, and threw more punches. Groves owned him

Yeah DeGale went forward, but he didn't throw punches, if he has only throwed his jab he would've won the fight ( at least that's what I believe )

What I still dont get is that in cleverlys fight his opponent had a cut to the side of the head and wasnt that bad and the REF stops it right away without the doctor but in the DeGAY fight they didnt even ask the doc for advice and let him fight? WTF is that

You're right, it shows the ref in the Cleverly-Kuziemski fight is crooked.

Quick and unnecessary stoppages in world title fights and on PPVs are very harmful to the sport of boxing.

I had Groves by a point as well. But arguments could be made for either way, im just gutted i only put e points on this and not real £!

I had it 115-114 to DeGale, but can't complain tbh. When it warmed up it was a good fight..

I wanna see a rematch next year, let things simmer between them a little.

I wanna see Groves fight for the European title next against Brian Magee (if he still holds it). Providing he wins I'd like to see him fight a proven, experienced SMW, like Sakio Bika. Then a rematch with DeGale.

Next I wanna see DeGale move to the US and find a better trainer. Then fight some good level opponents, maybe throw him in with Quillin, which would be a good fight. Hopefully he learns from this loss and goes on to bigger and better things, like Amir Khan did.

I was very surprised with that decision.

I had it 116-114 in DeGale's favour, I thought he was pushing the fight and landing the better shots. I was split on the close rounds, some went to DeGale for his pressure and some to Groves for his countering but overall I thought DeGale done enough to take it.

it really was a close fight and i was expecting them to give it to degale.


oh well, at least groves knows what he's talking about
