    "I'm not gonna lie.. it's an easy fight" says Jim McDonnell.

    DeGale said the same thing about half an hour before the fight. Fools.

      dont chat ****, nobody "won" this fight..i had it a draw but my god was it an eventless fight. But im glad they matched them two together..lets see see how far these two go..i dont think they will grace the top ten of the SM imo.

        Nobody won it? Umm George Groves did

        It was close. The main difference being that James DeGale and his team always said that this fight was nothing for him. George Groves accepted that it was his toughest fight to date and did what he had to do to come out a winner and British champion. DeGale throw less, landed less and acted like a muppet throughout the buildup and has throughout his professional career.

          i called it a draw, it doesnt matter if groves said it was his toughest fight or that degale acted "like a muppet" because those those issues dont matter when they step into the ring. Like i always think calzaghe/hopkins was a close fight but this fight was just ugly..i dunno all im saying is that calling groves the winner doesnt seem very fitting..

            What do you mean it's not fitting? It was a close fight nobody is dis*****g that but George Groves was a big, big underdog. If DeGale had got the nod, no way would he be open to a rematch straight away.

              Had to lol when Booth let DeGale off the bet in the post-fight interview.

                degale's ego must be shot to pieces...

                if he actually adapted his style to the pro ranks he could give any smw problems but he hasnt looked particularly impressive as a pro to me

                  Degale had to be even dirty to win this fight. I believe the cut George suffered in the 10'th (I think) had a bearing on the last two rounds, it seemed to have blurred his vision!

                  George has more heart and determination than Degale, he takes nothing for granted.

                  Degale is currently being clowned out of British Boxing after that display. It was going to be an 'easy nights work' apparently LOL. Groves has the stronger mentality than Degale, Period. Skills can take you so far, but mentality is means much more in BOXING.

                    delighted Groves beat the prick ... wasn't sure he could pull it off but he did ... Adam Booth knows what he's doing
