Are people watching the boxing tonight?
I reckon Degale will beat Groves, even though I'd prefer Groves to win. I think his defence is far too open. As far as the Cleverly fight goes I think he'll win in about 8.
-
Watching it here. Nice performance from Billy Joe Saunders just.
-
He looked good, has he been injured? he hasn't really seemed to push on.
-
He had a problem with his hand last year.
Gavin's took a few with him. I expect the first wipethatsnot after 1:30.
-
Ah right. Yeah Young Mutley has seen his best days.
-
Frankie's boxing within himself.
-
Yeah he should really be putting Mutley away.
-
Hope the next fights are better than this.
-
anyone got any links for the fight?

Veetle one is what I'm watching it is very very good. Agreed on this fight, it's rubbish.
-
boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
-
That's my treble fucked on the first leg.
-
19% and 10% landing percentage respectively. Terrible.
-
What time is DeGale v Groves?
-

Here you go lads. Fuck paying for this heap of shite.
What makes it laughable is that the Froch and Kessler super 6 fights are on Sky Sports! If I'd paid for this I'd be fuming.
p.s. funtime frankie is such a ******. 'Lurving curve'. Twat.
-
About 10.20.
-
I've got to say the fiasco around this Cleverly fight sums up the problem with boxing at the moment.
-
I'm only watching for DeGale/Groves.
Hope the ginger guy batters him. You don't call a guy ugly. Below the belt.
-
Cleverly was hurt there.
-
A decent puncher would have had him out there.
-
Fuck's sake......
-
Well that was a shambles, the lead up to the fight showed the problem with boxing and so did the end of the fight.
-
Khan mcCloskey all over again.
I hope noones paid for this!
-
At least McCloskey had a bad cut. Degale v Groves is going to have to be a classic now.
-
It was a terrible decision, but in that brief time Cleverly looked very vulnerable against a guy who had a day's notice.
-
Neither of the house fighters have done themselves any favours tonight.
-
No agreed, I'm hoping this fight is good now.
-
justintv is about 20 seconds ahead of veetle.
-
Right I won't check here during the rounds then!
-
I reckon whatever happens here, they will fight again.
-
What a twat. He's trying to blag a negative entrance by using soldiers as human shields!!!
MON THE GINGER LAD
-
Interesting first round.
-

True, but it was never a cut worthy of stopping a world title fight.
Look at it from McCloskeys POV. Pinnacle of his career for a shitty little cut. Outrageous decision.
-
If Cleverly doesnt win this on points I'll eat my hat.
And I've got money on Groves, just cause he sounds like a nice guy....
-
This is a better one.
-
This is really intriguing.
-
DeGale nowhere bear as comfy as he has been in the past. This will open up in another couple of rounds.
-
Entertaining fight thus far.
C'mon Georgie!
-
The worry here is that, despite landing some decent shots neither of them looks like having the power to get the knockout. Think this will go the distance unless one of them tires badly.
-
This is really close.
-
Interesting round. I have it 58-56 Groves.

haha, one day ill stop getting degale and cleverly mixed up....
(degale's still winning on points though :D)
-
Groves winning by one round at this point. This will go all the way.
-
Interesting round. I have it 58-56 Groves.
Yeah I agree, I slightly have Groves in front.
-
Degale taking over.
-
Big round for DeGale that
-
Groves round. 96-95.
-
Groves is back!
-
Definitely Groves round.
-
Still not enough power from either of them, Groves on top, better tactically so far and if it gets messy in the last it'll probably suit Groves.
-
Really good fight.
-
Degale's round, 105-105. Watch him get it by about five.
-
degale that round? I'd say this is all down to who wins this last one now, too close to call.

No chance mate. It was a degale points win all night; groves had a crack but needed an early KO.
-
Degale 115-114.
-
hmmm, degale by 1 I think.
-
Gutted. I KNEW it was degale on points, got so invested in the pre-fight hype I put money on Georgie. He nearly did it as well... ah well, cracking fight.
-
Sweet. I think Groves deserved it.
-
Groves gets it/
-
Go on George!
-
YEEEEEEEEEEES!
-
Woohoo, really glad Groves got it, didn't think he would though at the end
-
That's a surprise.
-
Never have I been happier to be proven wrong!!! GET IN GEORGIE!!!
-
Cracking fight. Rematch?
-
Really good fight, well done Groves.
-
This will be back on in six months time!
-
If I was George Groves, I'd demand ridiculous money for a rematch. He should be fighting for world titles now, not wasting his time with dickheads like deGale.
-
That was a much better fight than I expected. It was a really great tactical battle. Fair play to them both.
-
I still think Degale will go further; Groves just knows him too well.
That was never worth £15 though.
-
Really interesting fight. Glad Groves won it, I was quite surprised.
Hilarious when DeGale started celebrating, the cocky twat.

No generally never is, but it was more worth it than Haye vs Harrison and Khan vs McClosky(although obviously that ended a lot cheaper).
-
If nothing else came of the evening, Frank Warren looked massively fucked off at the end.

It was not a good night fior Frankie.
-
No not great for his promotion. But I don't think Degale loses a lot from that fight, but he needs to make a statement in his next one.

Getting rid of Jim McDonnell for a start.

I agree, his tactics were odd for the fight. It'll be interesting to see where he goes from here. I've been critical of Adam Booth in the past, but he created a great gameplan for this fight.
-
I am sure McDonnell is a great amateur coach but he looked out of his league last night.
