TUFFTY 1,484 Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Good fight. Thought Chuncky would take him out before Round 4. Well done indeed. The first British man to win an Olympic gold and a world title. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bracken boy 584 Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Very close fight, nice to see a british fighter get the nod by the judges, one judge gave degale 11 rounds w.t.f.. Bet his black lab was glad to get home. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 31,602 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) Fantastic i was over the moon for Jim Mcdonnell a lot of people thought he was just a fitness fanatic but he,s proving he can be a shrewd tactician as well.........must admit i thought Degale had blown it mid rounds i thought he could of got the guy out of there if he had pressed him after the knockdowns but he got the win and its a brilliant achievement at a high point for British boxing.

I thought he beat him the first fight to be honest Bird but it will probably be one of them rivalries where they could fight each other 5 times and not be more than a hairs breadth between them.....Degale has a great chin where Groves doesnt maybe that could be the difference.... what you reckon ?
