Will Groves accept DeGale’s challenge?
September 20th, 2010
By William Mackay: Former 2008 Olympic Gold Medalist James DeGale (8-0, 6 KO’s) made quick work of Carl Dilks last Saturday night, stopping him in the 1st round in the Magnificent Seven card in Birmingham. After the fight, DeGale issued a challenge to unbeaten super middleweight Commonwealth champion George Groves (10-0, 8 KO’s) for a bout that will take place in December.
I can see DeGale stopping Groves in four or five rounds. I don’t see it as being a 1st round knockout like DeGale’s win over Dilks last Saturday night, but I think DeGale will out-box Groves and confuse him. Groves is a pretty much one-dimensional fighter, and with DeGale, he would be exposed. DeGale would give him so many different looks that I think Groves would be paralyzed and unable to figure out what to do. But like I said, I don’t see Groves accepting this fight. He’ll steer of DeGale and save himself a beating.

I hope degale chooses luis garcia as his next opponent. He would be shown up badly. Garcia is a way classier fighter,way better boxing brain.
4/5 wins Sutherland had over Degale in the ametuers
Shame what happened Darren Sutherland cause I believe he would of Ko’d Degale.
James Fail Degale is the next C*nt I hate after Amir Con
degale will ko groves and thats why groves wont take the fight.
what is the point ? no point fighting for the British title when they should wait another 15 matches and fight each other for a world title
I hope Groves sparks him. Pretty even fight imo
I think it would be a great fight and if Grooves proves to have a good chin then De Gale could have his work cut out. Grooves will get hit and De Gale does seem to possess good power so I am going for a De Gale victory.
degale to win easily reason being to fast for groves
I honestly think groves is the new goldenboy! Groves beat him in the Aba’s and I think he’ll knock him out as a pro
GROVES will beat degale with ease wait and see
i hope he doesnt. degale should fight smith and groves should fight magee. they should meet when one has a european belt so there something to fight for. why are they in a rush to fight each other? you dont see ward and dirrell matching up early on. the idea is to build your record and improve steadily before fighting the best. to be honest id take degale any day to win this fight so for groves its a bad move if he does take it.
