    Should never have been box office even with Cleverly, but that's Frank Warren for you- utter greed. Cant' stand the guy or DeGale for that matter, love to see Groves put him on his arse.

    I'd quite like to see Froch destroy DeGale also, hope they make that fight, Warren wont' be interested in that though.

    The Cleverly fight earlier was a disappointment, but Groves - DeGale is bubbling up nicely. Groves' game plan is working great so far.

    I have it 3-1 for Groves so far.

    Looks in control throwing good punches in combinations on the back foot.

    I REALLY wish is could turn off the Jim Watt commentary though, he is truly awful.

    Me too, cocky shite that he is. Hope Groves can keep this up.

    I thought it was even, but only a point in Groves' favour, DeGale must be pissed.

    Happy for Groves, thought he may have stepped off the gas too much at the end but glad he won.

    Delighted for Booth and Groves. If DeGale had Booth training him he would have won, hope DeGale gets a better trainer than McDonnell.

    BHop is my favourite boxer, the only active ATG with Manny right now.

    I was at the O2 yesterday and had the fight for DeGale by about 2/3 rounds. He looked to be doing more damage to Groves, was coming forward and trying to make a fight of it and landed cleaner punches. Groves spent the fight on his bike, and didn't look to do much apart from counter pot-shots. Poor show from him really.

    DeGale with a better trainer would ease past him. Be interesting to see what happens next, a rematch would be awesome.

    Just watched the re-run on SBO, I have no idea how the judges gave it to Groves, his face was an absolute mess at the end of the fight. Yes he landed more but DeGale landed the cleaner, more powerful shots and was pushing the fight to Groves throughout the fight.

    Yeah, love the guy. Outside the ring he is a class act too.

    Him vs Froch in the UK would draw huge money. But it seems he has his eyes on Dawson and Bute which would be a waste of time.

    He wants to box until he's 50!

    Here we go. Good night ahead. :)

    (Been watching a bit of WEC and MMA lately (as it's on every night on ESPN and Extreme), but boxing is, and always will be, the most skilled and artful, the King of the fighting sports.)

    Strange, Adam Darke is commentating on the USA vs Spain game on ESPN right now, he might be pulling a double shift tonight as he's the main Sky boxing commentator and a bloody good one too.
