I don't think it's anything to do with the fact that Degale is mixed race, he has been acting like a cocky prick and I think people in general like to see arrogant loudmouth types get taken down a peg or two. Not only that his behaviour leading up to the fight is reminiscent of a schoolyard bully, stupid **** like caling Groves 'ugly boy' constantly. Groves just seems like a more likeable, more humble person and that's why he had such a large percentage of support within the O2. Plus who doesn't love an underdog coming through and prevailing?
I don't know if you're American or not but race seems to be a bigger issue and cause more division in the States than on this side of the pond. That's not to say the UK doesn't have any problems in that regard, most places do but a decent percentage of Americans seem obsessed with the issue of race moreso than others.
And you say Groves is a brawler but that's not what won him the fight tonight... I don't know how you can call it a 'robbery' even if you disagree with the decision, it was a very close fight and I had it a draw to be honest but a decision either way can't really be called a robbery in this instance.
