Groves could come out of retirement tomorrow and school these two on the same night. Should be a comfortable Eubank win, DeGale is finished.

Following the Gutknecht fight, Groves will stay retired. He's 2-0 v Chunky.

DeGale has nothing more to prove. He's never been the same since the injury. The Truax fight being prime example.

When you look back at the Paul Smith fight, & that against Groves, he carried KO threat. He doesn't have that know.

Nice to see some respect between the fighters, but Sr should be across telling Chunky "It's hard, but it's over son".

There was respect between the fighters? Didn't look that way to me in the interview after the fight.

Aye there was clearly little respect between them afterwards.

De Gale was shot to pieces I still don't believe Eubank wins a title at MW or SMW unless it's a vacant belt against a lesser opponent. Especially at MW he has absolutely no chance.

With refusing the AJ fight Whyte has left himself in a funny position. Only fight for him if Wilder fights Breazeale is Ortiz as Fury will not fight him.

Looking forward to Usyk at heavyweight and seeing if he is heavy handed enough to trouble the big boys.... technically unbelievable but can he take a punch at the weight.

Usyk's natural weight meant to be around 16 and a bit stone. Think it would be interesting to see him in against big lumps who can get caught a bit flat footed (Joshua, Whyte). Finding him fights could be hard though. Someone like Joe Joyce could be ideal but is Joyce going to want to risk a loss against a jumped up cruiserweight? Whyte might be up for it though. 

If Kalle is to believed, the issue is that Barancyk doesn't want the fight to be in Glasgow and that if he pulls out they'd simply find a replacement. Says tickets to go on sale in next 10 days...
