Round 11 Degale

 

[Romi]

degale wins 11....i have it 6-4-1....groves hurt a little near the end and a bloody mess...last rd may decide

 

[Ghost Kid]

pivotal last two rounds to Degale
clearest rounds of the bout
but will it be enough
Groves early
Degale late
all depends on how they scored the middle rounds
:shrug:

 

[DeFactoCrippler]

I gave degale 7,8,9,11,12 although I may be a bit biased but that looks like a degale win here

 

[Ghost Kid]

crowd behind groves....he may just get it...lets see if the judges have it close...

 

[THE_THONG]

should have took the over instead of straight degale

:facepalm:

hindsight is 20/20

 

[Romi]

12- close close close rd...good 1st min for groves but degale lands some very nice hard body shots mid way that bothered groves...nice exchanges...both having moments...got to call it even as groves has a small burst near the end...i have it 6-4-2....could go either way...could very well be a draw....any more than 3 pts either way would be wrong

 

[gardenweasel]

i didn`t watch it all,but to me,degale looks like one of those guys that will shine just below the top level...and almost always fall short in the big,big fights.....just falling short...not quite doing enough...

 

[Ghost Kid]

Fuck Majority for Groves

I don't agree

115-114
115-114
115-115

Actually, even though I thought Degale took it, hard to argue with close scores like that

Degale KOs him in a 15 rounder
But we fought 12

Good early strategy by Groves
He banked enough early and snaked a few middles it seems

because he without a doubt lost 9, 11, and 12.

 

[Romi]

115-115

115-114 x2

Groves

 

[Romi]

Good entertaining fight....Degale the better fighter has only himself to blame....he allowed Groves to outhustle him and steal close rds...could have gone either way but Groves clearly WANTED it more

You can say that 3 times

Well, parlay fell apart with DeGale loss.

I've still got Dawson to close out some things.

I think Dawson is pissed and he gets it done ITD.

I like Gutierrez at home.

Hopkins.

Upset special of the weekend is Montes, but I say so with much less confidence than some previous picks. Rojas should win, but we don't know quite how good Montes is. Rojas with 12 losses so we know he can be beat.

that video on youtube was right on

james DEFAIL

dumb fighter

 

[Donny]

Well, that was an excellent fight from Groves! I was expecting a different fight completely - Groves mixing it up more, going for broke and finally going out on his shield being stopped in the second half of the fight.. This would have made the fight more exciting, but I can't complain as I am just very happy for Groves and for boxing in general. That was a good fight for boxing! At this point Degale could be a better fighter technically, but he blew the fight strategically, and mentally too. Well, he has only himself to blame being an ignorant f***er as he is. Well done George!! Especially taking into account that he is only a 23 y.o. kid who nobody including me was giving much of a chance..

 

[Romi]

dawson/Diac about to strt...need dawson to finish some parlays..having a good week so very small hedge on diac but still want dawson to win....i actually think dawson will stop him

 

[Romi]

rd1
huge ht advant for chad...diac pressing...but dawson taking initiative...dawson has his game face on...dawson unloading a little....bit wild....nice rt to body daw...i really like dawson to get diac out at some pt...wish id bet it...diac going to have a tough nite me thinks...rd to daw

 

[Romi]

rd2-diac is slowwww....nice rt lt daw...nice combo daw...diac 1 shot at a time...ONLY chance for diac is to land a Sunday punch...NO WAY in hell can diac win a dec...nice 1-2s daw...diac nearly went down near end of rd..partially off balance but he was buzzed a little....2-0 daw...
