Around SBN: Jeremy Lin's Game-Winner Was Incredible, Worth Remembering

Groves targets DeGale



Just saw the below link on Sky sports and thought it quite interesting! Wonder if James DeGale would risk this?

Personally i think it's a great little tussle on the Haye v Ruiz undercard the thought of two of Britains most up and coming Super Middleweights getting it on when they are both a green to the pro ranks.

If it did go through

I believe Groves would win by descision, he’s been matched harder than Degale as is ussually the case with FW’s fighters

however lets face it, Warren won’t ever let it go through this early in Degale’s career when a fight between the two in the future could mean big money

I really like the look of Groves, he looks a mean body puncher and he just seems like one tough cookie

it could also be a stunt

they know that Degale won’t take the fight, there not excatly best mates, so it could be a way of degrading Degale, while bigging up Groves, implying he is ready to take risk at this early stage.

No way they'd fight each other this early

Groves is Haye’s best prospect and DeGale is one of Warren’s best. In a year or two, if it becomes apparent that one of them is maxing out, then sure. But no reason to make this fight now when it could be pretty big in the UK a year or two down the road.

I agree with Sweet Science – sounds like a way for Groves to get his name in the media.

I hate James Degale.

He should give up on boxing, and spend more time preparing for his “My Little Pony; The Movie” audition….

Some people are acting like Pacquiao should be expected to have just gone, "Yeah sure, let’s do something I’ve never done before because your dad made some dumbass baseless comment."

Don’t know enough about them to make a decent comment.
