    Burns was impressive...

    i thought Burns was excellent yet again

    funnily enough though, if you paid any attention to the comentators you'd swear it was a close kn it fight, in my eyes Burns won every singly round, and come round 6, i turned around to the missus and said, "that other guy wont last more than 2 rounds", low and behold, he quit the following round,

    i dont know what the commentators where trying to do, i can only imagine they where trying to big up the fight while trying to make it sound closer than it was, because Burns was very impressive and dominating to my eyes

    what about that bum that "fought" De Gale? an absolute disgrace of an opponent, he was a glorified punching bag, a useless contest, and i have to say i dont enjoy watching one man being paid to block punches with his face while bigging up the already over-inflated ego of the promoters current cash cow

    im looking forward to the De Gale and Groves fight i must say, my heart says Grove, but my head says De Gale,

    DeGale's fight was just a tune up fight for Groves. His last three fights were against opposition with good records, at least he is not fighting bums every fight like some people do at the start of their career. I've been very impressed with DeGale so far, after watching his first fight I didn't think I'd watch him again but he has been very good since.

    I think DeGale will beat Groves with considerable ease. He seems to have taken to the pros much better than Groves and to be honest Groves hasn't impressed me at all. Degale by mid to late round stoppage for me. Hopefully the fight happens though.

    agreed, as much as i detest De Gale, he really has come on in leaps and bounds, he looks the real deal

    i reckon he'll stop Groves within 6 myself, i hope and pray im wrong, but Groves is just too easy to hit
