    I ended up in the Indigo, got home this morning at 4 am.
    To get home...I left at 11.35pm and didn't get home until 2am. If i left any later i would have had to have walked home from Lewisham. The bus services from the o2 are terrible.

      if you look at the punch stats groves threw more and landed at a higher percentage, how can anyone say degfail was robbed after that performance?

        Dude, Judges know how to deal with crowd noise. Hometown fighters/fan favorites always have the crowds cheering when the land the tiniest ****, sometimes even when they miss. It's nothing new in boxing and judges know better than to let it affect their score.

        This was Frank Warren's card. I find it amazing that it was possible for Groves to get the nod at all.

            Wasn't Degale supposed to be something special? Losing to a good fighter but not great really makes me question if he fits the build of a world class athlete.

              I am re-watching the fight. I am up to round 8 and one thing i have noticed is other than the first 2 rounds the other 6 are so close and really could have gone either way. I do think the commentators are totally over-reacting when they are saying Degale is in a crisis after 6 rounds.

              This is how i have it after 8 rounds and like i said 6 of these rounds are a toss up.

              Round 1 - Degale
              round 2 - Groves
              round 3 - Degale
              round 4 - Groves
              round 5 - Degale
              Round 6 - Degale
              round 7 - Groves
              round 8 - Degale

              Wow i have Degale 2 rounds up after 8. I think i'm giving the close rounds to Degale as he is being the aggressor. I am no expert judge and i realise other people are going to have a totally different opinion to me. Like i said i think these commentators are making a mountain out of a mole hill and seem to be on Groves' ****.

I thought DeGale won the fight IMO.. it was a close one but judges were probably swayed by the crowd in those close rounds, scoring for Groves when they should have gone to Degale!
                i had a shoddy veetle stream, but from what I saw, groves won the fight

                    How can you be world class if you havent beaten a top fighter? there still pro novices they both have way to go before being world class.

                      Groves is shi.t, he only won because DeGale didnt press the fight more.
                      In a rematch Groves will get stopped.

                      LMAO Kenny Anderson almost stopped this joker.
