Groves v DeGale Saturday Night

AA23Northbank · Post by **AA23Northbank** » Mon May 16, 2011 4:54 pm

Being the student scum which I am I can't be asked to pay for this so will need a stream

Am really looking forward to this, DeGale probably starts slight favourite but I can't stand him, such a twat, hope Groves knocks him out.

And if anyone hasn't seen it, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjCaQvMsKbQ

It's long but it's worth watching, these two genuinely don't like each other as Groves beat DeGale in the Amateurs and their dislike for each other is pretty much laid bare here

Starts at 8pm and isn't on American television, so will be on around 9:30 onwards I reckon!

Also Nathan Cleverley is fighting for the WBO Light-Heavyweight title so will be a good night of boxing!

Should be a cracker of a fight, Big fan of George, actually know the guy fairly well and is a real genuine good guy.

On this my heart says George but my head says De Gale.

On thing that makes me hopefull is that De Gale's chin has never been tested in the pro's, he literally hasnt taken a decent shot. So there are question marks there, Groves on the other hand has proven he can recover from big shots, get off the canvas and still win.

I think George will have to weather the early storm, and confuse de gale with his jab, he needs to fight from the outside and could get it on points.

Like many Im not a fan of De Gale the person, and would love for George to knock him out.

For those who havent seem this.....very funny......jenawmsayin

Pretty much agree, even though he doesn't like DeGale and has let it show, Groves does come across as a decent guy, I reckon he can stop DeGale late if he wears him down and turns it into a bit of a brawl as I reckon DeGale's punch resistance is questionable.....

Enjoy the fight card.

I think Chunky DeGale wins on points, too slick for Groves who will give his all but lacks sharpness.

Really looking forward to seeing Frankie Gavin and Billy Joe Saunders, Im a big frankie gavin fan too, sam sexton and paul smith on undercard, so should be really good, interesting to see who cleverly will fight hopefully tony bellew.

My opinion changes all the time with this. If De Gale is to win it has to be by ko. I think George will win if it goes the 12.

Rite final prediction, George on Points.

Tony Bellew has stepped in for Jurgen Braehmer and will fight Cleverley, both don't like each other and nearly came to blows in the weigh-in.....

And DeGale and Groves is now 'winner take all,' the winner will take home both fighters' purses, the loser leaves with nothing

Bloody hell this is gonna be an entertaining evening

This was my plan till got sorted with a ticket

Tony Bellew couldnt make the weight so the title fight has again been changed again

. Cleverly now fighting Aleksy Kuziemski who is ranked higher than Bellew by WBO, and actually ko'd Juergen Braehmer a few years back. Never seen him fight but have a feeling this is going to be a tricky night for Cleverly. Due to so many last minute changes, seems to happen to him every fight, feel sorry for him.

Anyone see the press conference?

Groves and De Gale bet their purse on the fight. Was really annoyed by the actions of Jim McDonnell, I used to really respect the guy, but he seems to have taken on De Gales not only arrogance but stytle (for a man of his age he needs to realise he should conduct himself in a manner appropriate for his role). I like how George has conducted himself in the build up, very professional love the fact he wears a suit to all the press events, he respects his opportunity and is taking it very seriously. On the same front, at todays press conference De Gale you could see was on edge, which mean he is taking this seriously, and knows its not easy. They both clearly HATE each other, but are toatally focused.

Without a doubt the biggest British domestic fight in years. And should be a cracker. Cant Wait!!!!!!!!

any one going to post a link to this on Saturday night - i 'm not prepared to have my pants pulled down and spanked by fucking Frank Warren

Can't believe the Benn, Eubank & Watson trilogy was free on the ITV and this greedy bastard want's PPV cash for De Gale fight

Its not on many foreign channels where a lot of these feeds come from because unlike in England they don't put boxing on PPV so its available to normal subscribers.

But I will keep my eyes peeled.
