DeGale should have won
May 21st, 2011
By Scott Gilfoid: I think I just saw the worst robbery of my life tonight with George Groves (13-0, 10 KO’s) beating British super middleweight champion James DeGale (10-1, 8 KOs) by a controversial 12 round majority decision at the O2 Arena in London. There’s no way that Groves won that fight. We all know who the better man really was in that fight and it was DeGale.
They were smart enough to realize how valuable Dirrell is and used him to help get ready for DeGale. It looked like Groves was trying to copy Dirrell’s style all night long and it times doing a decent job of it. DeGale looked unprepared at first for the movement that Groves showing. However, DeGale made the needed adjustments in the second half of the fight and completely took over to dominate the last six rounds with his pressure and harder shots.
Groves supposedly landed more shots than DeGale, but that doesn’t matter because DeGale threw with more power. He was clearly the better fighter and showed class all throughout the fight. You could see who the real winner was just by looking at the two fighters at the end of the bout. Groves was a bloody mess from head to toe, while DeGale looked like he had just had light run. He was completely fresh looking and ready to go another 12. If I’m DeGale, I’m looking for an immediate rematch. He beats Groves easily if/when they fight again. All DeGale has to do is make sure he starts sooner with his attacks, and he’s got the fight won.

i have to agree with you all,i had groves up by one round.degale should have had a point off for the shoulder barge and the elbow aswell.dont see any point in a rematch,thay should leave a few years for when thay have moved up leavel
I think groves deserved to win, he was the humble man, was taunted by De-gale as if de-gale was some sort of champ…………..my experience of half casts with blk heritage people tend to think there above everyone, maybe they have a chip on there shoulder, or the up bringing by a single mother takes effect….
@ don kelly
Wasn’t the name don 11 working for you anymore?
degale is the next………..AUDREY HARRISON!!
ha ha, Scotty started his blog with ‘I think’. Hilarious!
What? That will be why the entire support of the BNP would struggle to fill the average British church hall, and that’s out of a population of close on seventy million. Who is vetting these posts?
you were wrong scott…the fact you have written this in about 5 articles now shows what a sore idiotic pathetic creature you are
no he shouldnt groves deserved that win. fair and square.
don kelly
if u dont like it here f@uck back off to ur malaria ridden mud shack on the plains of africa u idiot
I was there last night ……..and there was only one clear cut winner and that was george groves..no idea what fight you were watching …’Groves supposedly landed more shots than DeGale, but that doesn’t matter because DeGale threw with more power’ hahahah that is the most dumbest remark i have heard all day …….if this is how u look at boxing then i would stop watching it and go take yr head for a walk cos u clearly have no idea what is involved in winning a fight !!!!
Please retire Scott you clearly don’t watch the same fight as everybody else it was a very close fight no robbery
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA……………..HA
Scott are you border line stupid? you seem to know nothing about boxing. Groves landed more punches throughout the fight. He made DeGale miss and looked the better fighter. He won by at least 2 rounds. DeGale is a plonker, a mouthy fool who got what he deserved. Please stop posting articles, you havent a clue. Your like DegGale, an absolute donkey!!
what a complete overstatement!! Robbery? It was a poor fight and DeGale prefight was brash, arrogant, personally insulting Superstar who was going to “do this and “do that” to the ugly, ginger haired man with apparent bad breath! Hr deserves no sympathy and has still shown no grace since the final bell’ I say well done George Groves!!
Groves threw more than degake but it doesnt matter because degale threw the harder punches? are you for real? you really think the judges score the match on how hard they hit each other?
You mr gilifold are a fool, you have very little boxing knowledge but are so eager to show how much you have, stop writing it will be better for the world if you do.
the empty can rattles the most as they say
for now am take some pride that chad dawson won in style, and bernard hopkins wons his match, an achievement joe coward would never achieve.
Am so grateful i dont live in such society. i suppose being half white doesnt make you immune to racism. what a shame.
am just grateful i dont live in society. i suppose being doesnt make you immune to racism.
the biggest in justice ever. robbery. I can wait for haye to get his injustice. for the first in my life i will be rooting for wlad, to beat haye.
Their paths in boxing may cross again in the near future, but tonight was Groves’s night. I thought that the fight was a draw, but I’m not complaining and they both entertained the fans.
The judges were not British you fool.
If there was any favoritism its not because of racism, its because degale is a c**t
after watching the disgraceful behaviour of white british, i can now say that i have a great disdain for the british people.
smokin Joe,
tell you c’nt of mother, she is f8cking wh0re.
smokin’ joe
you are the biggest idiot evet, pathetic wh.te fool.
Groves outboxed him simple, i thought degale was gonna win, but he didnt, No need for a rematch, he had his chance to shine, but failed. It makes me sick when credit isn’t given due.
also if he did win fairly he would be seen as a respectable fighter to real boxing fans. if its dodgy then boxing loses
Shut your mouth Don11, im not from Britain you deluded fool. Stop bringing race into it. Groves was better in a close fight on the night. I wanted Degale to win but he didnt. A rematch is due but Groves won this one so shut up!
Smokin’ Joe, is that all you can say, fool.
I am very angry with this result. anyone who watch the fight know that degale won. The fact the The uk public is endorsing this injustice is sad.
Dam!! Gilfoid is getting funnier by the day!!…Groves head to toe in blood!!LMAO
Don11
Uncle Tom? WTF? I thought DeGale won, but Haye’s an Uncle Tom! You are truly an idiot.
Robbery….LOL. When NOT EVEN ONE of the judges thought Degale had won the fight!!
Alfonso Bonzo
you are truely a knob. which non white people jumped in the ring and huge him, you are an inferior lier, trying to justice the injustice show to degale by you kind.
As for david haye he is a fool. an uncle tom. there would alway be a yes boy amongst black and mix race men. That what haye is.
groves won an dosent need to give a rematch degale has to earn it
Could have gone either way I had it for groves just but if it was a draw that would have been ok
Scott u blind B@tch the computer dont lie he landed more he is da winner. and as my esteemed friends on this site have told u de gales face is a mess and he dont have an excuse because Groves bruises easily and Degale dont so how is he so bruised????? cause he got da rear end well and truley kicked u r a dumb As@ Scott
The writer of this article must be black has to me if he things degale won
Alfonso Bonzo
i must have touch a nerve you fool.
we all know why degale lost because he is mix. i will bet my life on it that degale didnt have white support. Typical white racism.
don11 the old race card eh mate? that’s the ghetto welfare mentality! “it’s not fair, it’s racism!”. People like you are pathetic.
shut up gilfoid. it was a close fight and groves deservingly shaded it. youre just trying to cover up another bad prediction
I think Gilfoid streams these fights on dial up, because he’s clearly not getting to see the whole fight.
DeGale said he would knock Groves out, like you did as it goes Scott, but he didn’t, he went to the scorecards and because he obviously hadn’t planned for more than 4 rounds didn’t have a plan.
Hahaha funny article, watched it with 7 people and 3 thought draw and 4 groves, Scott I think you are worst pundit ever, I actually hate u
SCOTT WHY WRITE WHEN U DONT HAVE A TV?
For the first time, I agree with the Gill
Groves copied Dirrells style? I don’t recall him pretending he’d been knocked out or the intervention of Dr Shaw Hi.
Anyway, I thought the worst robbery you saw was Dirrell Froch where you had Dirrell winning by 25 rounds and three gold stars.
Degale u should won, lost my bet. lol
Gimp did u watch the fight, close, but smart boxing won the fight.
Aye goodbye mate , ceeeeeeeyaaaaaa
Seriously he did, WHAT DID DEGALE DO , actualy fought he wouldve won but he didnt
What fight were you watching? Groves won by 3 or 4 clear!!!!
The only thing wrong is this website publishing you clown opinion
Gilfraud you joke!
What fight were u watchin
