    Am I alone in thinking Degale beats Groves in a rematch?

    I honestly think that Degale is the superior fighter, Groves came in with a gameplan that bamboozled Degale and put on his best performance on a night when Degale was lacklustre and STILL only won a razor close decision.

    I don't think they can pull the same con again, Degale would have learned from his mistakes and will know he has to come forward and make it a fight if Groves decides to run.

    It's just one of those times when I think the "winner" got away by the skin of his teeth and wouldn't be so lucky next time.

    I agree. Groves had Booths "Master plan" which only achieved a razor thin decision. I think that Booth has exhaused his "brilliant" barrow boy huckster mind in working out Haye's GREAT strategies, of going to the canvas whether hit or not, to try to get a point from the ref. It worked ONCE. and will never work again. Booth's "genius" is finished. De Gale should win easily next time around, that is if Groves gives him the chance to fight.

    I for one, felt that De Gale won.

        First fight should have been a draw.

          I'd expect DeGale to win, but, really, it's dependent on him producing some intangibles he hasn't shown thus far and should have shown in their fight back in May. So, who knows, maybe Groves remains too cool for him and DeGale lets the 'W' pass him by again.
