@horwichwhite1980 Yeah, you're definately right. Groves beat De Gale in the professional fight by sheer preparation and Adam Booth's gameplan, combined with De Gale's laziness. As much as I don't like De Gale, it would be outrageous to claim that Groves is the better boxer.
what i would like to know is: how did khan progress from this fight to get a world title fight, and breides prescott got no such chance. at the same time prescott was fighting vasquez (and, indeed, losing, but this is irrelevant) khan had a world title fight - how does this work?
how can this be a world record? didn't cholakov lift 207.5 in 2004 olympics?
