could be an interesting fight, anyone see Ringside on Sky last night, Degale came accross as an absolute pr*ck and I'd love to see Groves bash him up.....unfortunately I can't see it.
think it's the same night as the Nathen Cleverly fight and also Haye v Klitchko(sp)....decent night of boxing.

I fear De Gale will be too good however.
Cleverley will win.
Hope Haye mullers the Eastern European robot.
Just watched it and agree

Great night of boxing!
From what I've seen of both DeGale should beat Groves.
It's Cleverly v Braehmer. Tickets went on sale today, you gotta pay decent wedge at the o2 otherwise you're stuck far from the ring & just watch it on the big screens!
That's the crux right there
De Gale is good, not really been tested, not been to America even for a journeyman fight, beat Paul Smith well (domestic level at best) looks good technically, and is a southpaw and they are always awkward
Groves is not chinny, he is a tad 'Frochy' with the way he carries his hands, but has a deceptively hard hook left hook which will be key for him.
De Gale will be favourite but I fancy Groves to win
If Groves boxes as he can he will win.
I was going to but the tickets are well expensive. Ringside is £500+ and just lower tier is half the price of a Charlton ST! Think I'll watch it on telly.
Think it's very harsh to say Degale has not been tested.
Facing a good seasoned pro like Paul Smith in your 9th fight
Is a real test. Believe me. He came through with flying colours!
Yes - he's flash and yes- he's mouthy. But he is also very good and will,
I think, be a World champ pretty soon.
As far as this fight goes... Groves may ask some questions early on but
I can only see a relatively easy night for Degale with a mI'd round stoppage.
He's improved far more than Groves since turning pro and will be way to cute for
him IMHO.
