It's a good fight. Unexpected quality from Groves.

Personally, I hope Groves wins. He has much more experience as a pro whereas De Gale did well in the amateurs but hasn't fought any decent pros.

Shít I'd forgot about this. Nice one.
The winner takes all the money in this after they had a bet at the press conference.
It's on Veetle btw.

Warren will be bricking it because De Gale is his fighter. Groves has David Haye in his corner.

 Don't think so Az! They used to be stable mates and many thought Groves was the best of the two! Hence the history between the two of them. |

Groves has a habit of slipping into slugging it out. In this match he's really boxed. Stick-and-move and great defence for much of it; not his usual style. I meant technical quality. |

De Gale was the odds on favourite but it's not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog. Groves was expected to get stopped by round eight but we are now in the final round and he is still in there.

Well done to Groves. The commentators called it correctly as well.

I'm glad Groves won. I can't believe they said they'd let De Gale off with the bet though. Make the cocky bastard pay up. It was his fúcking idea.

They should have made he give it to charity. |

De Gale said at the press conference he wanted a cheque given to him in the ring as soon as he'd won. If I was Groves I'd have been straight over getting it. Just to píss him off a little bit more. Cocky bastard. |

He's being the bigger man. But he could have done that AND cost DeGale the money. Just tell DeGale to give it to charity 'x'. |

A bets a bet as far as I'm concerned. They shook on it so Groves should take it. Then like you say give it to charity or whatever.

I agree. But he did make DeGale cry. |
