Here's my take, it was a close fight that could've gone either way. It wasn't going to be a robbery if either guy won or lost at the end in my mind.
But given how highly touted Degale was/is and ALL the sh it he talked leading into it and how much better Degale had looked in his previous outing compared to Groves previous that fight was a loss for Degale even if the judges had scored it for him. No matter the scorecards, Groves stock went up and Degale's went down. Based on his talk and previous performances I think many expected him to stop Groves. Instead he looked very befuddled for the first half of the fight.
