    Looking forward to this scrap; it will be interesting to see if Groves has recovered from the KO.

    Hopefully he'll come good, again. He's a decent guy when he isn't trying to emulate motor-mouth Haye.

      Yeah i remember Hearn announcing he was putting Degale in for an IBF eliminator instead of carrying on the path they were on for the WBC and they spitefully dropped him in the rankings.

      The belt organisations seem very petty.

        It's a bit cringey to see Groves acting all arrogant and over-confident.

        Sometimes I look back at the DeGale-Groves Skysports show, and see how much he's changed. I liked the other version better.

          Hindsight's a great thing, but Groves should have taken the WBC route in the 1st place.

            He was on his own against the Froch, Hearn and Sky. He had to fight his corner by himself. Kudos to him I say.

              Don't get me wrong, I like Groves a lot.

              I just think he tried to be someone he's not.

                Yeah agree with this. I did cringe at both Groves and Froch at times in the lead up to both fights, but at the end of the day they both delivered on what they promised in the end and like my guy here said Groves did it all on his own basically. I'll defo be at the Wembley show to show my support and hopefully they can get bika or dirrell over here for the title shot late 2014.....

                  Must be true then.

                    That has nothing to do with what will happen in the ring.

                    However, as for what you're saying yeah I'd give Groves props, because he seems like a smart businessman.
