      I believe Groves beat him twice already (once in the amateurs) so this would make 3 times that Groves beats him.

        Imminent.

        Once Groves beats Jack it will be a huge unification fight.

        I believe Degale wins the rematch. I thought he won the first one.

          I thought Degale won the first fight, and he would win again but clearer this time.

          That's if Groves beats Jack (not a given imo). I fooking hate Groves.

            DeGale has an engine problem, he starts to lose stamina after the 5th or 6th rounds and doesn't throw too many punches, allowing guys to win rounds, not because they are landing on DeGale all that much, few guys can do that but because they are simply throwing more than Chunky.

            I had hoped DeGale had improved on that and after those early KO wins in his last few fights, it was difficult to tell. But it is quite clear now, DeGale, like some other guys out there i.e. Canelo, starts to slow his work rate considerably the longer the fight drags on. IMO, if Groves is back to his best and Froch hasn't taken his soul, then I think he'd beat DeGale again.
            True, i still think Groves beats him again,degale has improved alllooootttt since then but your right about his engine and gassing out or even becoming hesitant to trade/throw punchs in the middle rounds, just because groves got KTFO by froch,dose not mean he is not a talented boxer,i mean groves can ****,and if he catchs degale in the middle to late rounds it could be lights out
            for him,but at the same time if degale catchs groves early he could do the same, most boxers would of been KOd by that punch from froch,and he looked a bit shell shocked his last few fights,if he is over that now,i think he beats degale better this time around and closes it in the late rounds, i suppose we will see after he faces jack cause that fight is no gimmie either

              Rematch makes sense,,, I think deGale outpoints groves this time around, setting up the trilogy..

              Degale has grown as a fighter and groves has peaked.. Degale is the better fighter right now

                Groves always stands a chance against Degale

                But i feel Groves has lost his mojo since parting ways with Adam Booth

                Under Booth, Groves was a skillful fighter with a gameplan, under Paddy he is a brawler, with no gameplan...stays in the pocket too long, looks fookin horrible

                and Degale has gotten better

                  I suppose SOG (Son of Ginger) has earned his rematch now that he brings a highly touted legit world championship belt he took off the fierce, active, great-resumed Dirrell...

                  Yeah, his daddy might give him the rematch now.

                    Can Groves even beat Badou Jack at this point?

                      Ugly Kid lost the first fight and struggled against a guy who cleans the floors at Mayweather's gym in his last fight.

                      Will Ugly Kid even beat Badou Jack?

                      DeGale will leave him sucking on oxygen in the corner at Wembley again next summer.
