marky b 309 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I can't stand degale he's boring to watch and his attitude stinks he go's into a fight saying he's 100 percent then when he gets booed he says he has injurys he's still the same fighter that fought groves where groves has improved a lot IMO 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
*The*Field*Marshall* 674 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Degale won the fight hands down?!? What fight was you watching Jord!?! It was a close fight, certainly not a robbery. Groves has improved since, we don't know whether Degale has because he hasn't been in with anyone of note since, we'll see Sarurday night, I feel he's going to get out boxed and lose a unanimous decision. As for the main event, Froch is looking Calm, Cool and Collective. . Groves doesn't look convincing and I don't think he's as confident as was going into the last fight. . Saying he finished the last fight in better shape than Froch, DELUDED. Looking forward to a good night of boxing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,118 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Just flicked through some of the posts so sorry if im repeating anything thats already been said.....it strikes me how differently big fights are promoted these days compared to years ago it seems we,re getting nearer and nearer to that silly boys wwf wrestling nowadays and its horrible to see........sadly it leads us the fans to analyse fighters as personalities as much as we analyse them as fighters and thats a shame ! Im of the opinion Groves can make this fight as hard or as easy as he likes......he got over confident last time and engaged when he didnt need to,if he cuts all the macho crap out and simply gets on his bike or ties Froch up when he needs to i think if he,s disciplined his pure ability can see him through.......people talk about the knock down last time and how he missed his opportunity.....he didnt miss his opportunity thats where its different being in the ring to watching from outside....from outside the ring we watch a fighters legs to gauge how much trouble he,s in......a fighter will be looking into his opponents eyes and seeing whats going on in there.....Groves will have known within seconds whether Froch was ready to go,and clearly he wasnt. Part of what makes this fight so interesting is its the traditional age old boxer versus fighter scenario............usually my heart is with the fighter as i admire guts and determination overcoming natural skill and ability so for that reason id like to see Froch do well.....but i think Groves can draw him into a lot of mistakes...durability and resilience can only get you out of trouble so many times and it could be once too many times to the well for Froch......but then ive said that about him before and that for me makes this such an exciting fight im really looking forward to it. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Groves will destroy degale? You do no they've fought before don't you! Degale won that fight hands down and got robbed yes groves would destroy degale george groves has improved a hell of alot it was a close fight but for you to say degale won hands down i think you need to watch the fight again degale is a boring fighter and has made excuses all the way through his career he said tonight he has been fighting the last 2 year with injurys what a load of pish he is the same now as when he turned pro just above AVERAGE i think he will get beat on saturday then cue the excuses Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bryson 562 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 thats what i like to hear haha theres no doubt its going to be a close fight but it seems to me alot of people are writing Groves off which i just dont understand he clearly out boxed Froch last time around and he will have taken alot from that fight in my eyes hes faster ,stronger ,more accurate and alot younger i think he will improved alot more from the last fight than froches body will allow also how do you rate fitzpatrick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
