Dude, Judges know how to deal with crowd noise. Hometown fighters/fan favorites always have the crowds cheering when the land the tiniest ****, sometimes even when they miss. It's nothing new in boxing and judges know better than to let it affect their score.
This was Frank Warren's card. I find it amazing that it was possible for Groves to get the nod at all.

I am re-watching the fight. I am up to round 8 and one thing i have noticed is other than the first 2 rounds the other 6 are so close and really could have gone either way. I do think the commentators are totally over-reacting when they are saying Degale is in a crisis after 6 rounds.
This is how i have it after 8 rounds and like i said 6 of these rounds are a toss up.
Round 1 - Degale
round 2 - Groves
round 3 - Degale
round 4 - Groves
round 5 - Degale
Round 6 - Degale
round 7 - Groves
round 8 - Degale
Wow i have Degale 2 rounds up after 8. I think i'm giving the close rounds to Degale as he is being the aggressor. I am no expert judge and i realise other people are going to have a totally different opinion to me. Like i said i think these commentators are making a mountain out of a mole hill and seem to be on Groves' ****.

Originally posted by Fix View PostGroves had the crowd cheering his every move and I think it influenced the judges, which is known to happen quite regularly.. I thought DeGale won the fight IMO.. it was a close one but judges were probably swayed by the crowd in those close rounds, scoring for Groves when they should have gone to Degale!
