i can't wait to be at the O2 on Saturday night, this fight should be electric

is this the main event or is Cleverly?

i think Cleverly vs Bellew is going to be the main event. the product has been billed as World Championship Boxing as Cleverly vs Braehmer was meant to be the main event. Cleverly is now the WBO champ so i guess that billing still stands. DeGale vs Groves is the fight that most people in the arena are interested in though. although things got very heated between Cleverly and Bellew at the press conference earlier, Bellew is one cocky dude and to be fair he is never in a dull fight. it should still be an entertaining night

What I think too, Bellew puts up a good effort but is overmatched

Same for Groves, he's going to be purple after Chunky is done with him

i think Groves is going to give a better account of himself than people are expecting. DeGale can't afford to get careless. i'm buzzin about it anyway, can't remember so much dislike in a competitive fight between 2 British fighters since the Benn vs Eubanks fights. these guys will let it all hang out for sure

I really think DeGale is a notch above Groves, technique, speed, power. Should handle the ginger

i agree wholesomely with your viewpoint. i don't think it is going to be a walk in ther park for him though but i do think that boxing skill will prevail. i think Groves possibly is the harder puncher of the two however.

DeGale really impressed me with his trashing of Smith. Havent seen much of Groves, but if he tries to brawl like Smith did, going to make it easier for Chunky to land his shots

Daaaayum!

Bellew has been dropped 3x in last two fights vs some below average fighters, he's getting KTFO

he won't, DeGale will have to be the agrressor. Groves has good timing and can really bang. problem is is his low left hand and lack of head movement. that will be his undoing. he still could walk an extremely fired up DeGale onto something big though. Groves bodyshots are unreal also. this will turn into a war

So I wonder if the winner took it all?

Adam Booth, Groves's trainer, said after the fight that they would let him off with the bet.
