Degale v Groves finally on May 21st

[Gordon Gekko]

OR it means he's getting a pasting and his morale's dropping to f*ckHe aint sparring Dirrell any more so it can't be helping him all that greatly on the confidence/mind games side...especially every time him and Degale are together his face is bust up and Degales already got the body posture and idea he's won it and ya can see he already knows he's won it and Groves doesn't look like he wants it(I want Groves to win cause Degale pisses me off but its not happening)

[Pernell Whitaker]

[The King]

Good move by DeGale. Cant stand that c*nt though.Hope he gets hit with a devastating KO

[Pernell Whitaker]

BIT SILLY FROM GROVES..BUT ANYWAY, GROVES WILL STILL HAVE A DECENT UK/EURO CAREER TO FALL BACK ON EVEN IF HE LOSES.. WHEREAS DEGALE HAS POTENTIAL TO HIT THE STATES AND DO OK./LOL @ EVERYONE LAUGHING AT ME WHEN I SAID FROCH DEGALEJUST SEEN ON SSN THAT THE COBRA IS SAYING HELL FIGHT WINNER OF THIS ONE.SWEET PEA WINNSSSSS

[The King]

Froch will fight the winner in 2 years.Froch >> He'll fight anyone. Says he got a verbal agreement with Pascal for a re-match. 1st b bout was one of the fights of the decade for me.

He is currently in Nottingham on a six-month sports visa.If all goes well with medicals, both men could make their debuts in April, if plans for a show at Harvey Hadden go ahead."Matt is a monster," said Harris.

Feel free to elaborate lad../The 'bet' Groves - Degale had on isn't allowed by the BBBC so that aint happening either

[The King]

I know it sounds mad but he is a machine. 18st, 6ft 6 has ridiculously good cardio for his size. Genuinly "super fit".I'll let you know how he gets on when he has a pro fight. /Think Warren has seen the press conference yesterday and wants to hype the Cleverley/Bellew fight seperately.

What I'm thinking + Buncey was hinting at it going down in October in the Echo aswell

[Niall Ferguson]

1) LOL @ Lennox teaching anyone how to box. Talk about the blind leading the blind.2) I know Harris like a family member and he hypes anyone and everyone up. I guarantee that Matt Blake guy will get hammered as soon as he fights anyone who will fight back. I also like Yuri at the notion that body sparring will do anything for him.
