James DeGale

Just finished watching the fight. I wasn't a big fan of Degale cause he slapped too much and fought a lot like an amateur throwing pitty pat punches trying to score points in the past. This looks like a different fighter who has kept the speed but has nice power also, I'll be looking out more for him in the future. Great performance against the tough but limited Smith.

James DeGale is the one. Hes already better than anyone on the domestic scene. He would destroy Groves, i think Adam Booth and Hayemaker are already planning their duck strategy.

I watched a couple of Degale's fights on youtube and quickly noticed he fights like a poor man's Dmitry Pirog. Dont get me wrong I still like him and I see him getting far but the only thing that has me concerned is his power.

Brook is a far better prospect IMO Cleverly has the tools, just needs more experience I can't see DeGale getting passed European level tbh. Maybe but I see fire in the kid, looks like he might be much tougher than people give him credit for, he's got plenty of heart and I reckon he can take a punch. Obviously he's not really been tested and I could be proved totally wrong but I think he can go places.

DeGale was brilliant...sign me up as a member of the DeGale fanbase....the kid is gonna be something really special :boxing:

i think on that performance degale is going to be too much for groves to handle. i will be chearing groves but degale gets a stoppage i think...he is only going to get better and looks a right handful already

I was impressed with him. It was a big step up in just his 9th pro fight. And, he pretty much dominated. Won every round, you could give Smith the 3rd if you wanted to but that is it, and really busted Smith up. I want to see him fight Groves soon...That would be a very very good fight.

I have DeGale winning it as well, but I HOPE Groves beats him. DeGale just comes across as a bit of a twat. Degale is cocky which aint always pleasing, but dunno why people get so upset by it... that Tony Bellew, now there is an obnoxious lad for you. Did anyone catch him shouting something along the lines of "Im the mutha f*cking best" at the camera at the end of his fight. Dubious stoppage that in the Bellew fight n all. Degale impressed me last night, hope him and groves get it on in the new year. I have Degale winning based on last night and Groves last outing Cleverly looked lost last night and very dejected, the lad just needs to learn from it & I look forward to seeing brook with a bigger challenge next time out. All in all well worth the 15 quid. Haye was watching it all hope he learns thats the sort of thing peopl pay for when thrashing out a deal for his nxt title defence

I have DeGale winning it as well, but I HOPE Groves beats him. DeGale just comes across as a bit of a twat. i agree mate...........

groves keeps his hands too low and degale would be too quick for him i see it being a easy fight for degale I have DeGale winning it as well, but I HOPE Groves beats him. DeGale just comes across as a bit of a twat.

Smith had him trapped on the ropes several times and did nothing Can't see DeGale's power holding up against better opposition, and he may be slick but he's not elusive.

Just finished watching this fight half assed while skimming through the board. This is my first time watching DeGale. He's a decent fighter, didn't see anything that impressed me much.

He really impressed me last night. Still hope Groves beats him like. groves keeps his hands too low and degale would be too quick for him i see it being a easy fight for degale

Brook is a far better prospect IMO Cleverly has the tools, just needs more experience I can't see DeGale getting passed European level tbh. i like brook but everytime he fight he leaves his chin hanging out and hes had over 20 fights now,hes got very good power but i see him having alot of trouble when he steps up in comp i do like cleverly and i see him becoming a good champion. i still think degale will do well but i wouldnt argue about brook or cleverly being ahead of him

He really impressed me last night. Still hope Groves beats him like.

Any slick fighter would have dominated Smith last night He'd do well against any he can get to, but movement & speed and he'd struggle like most British fighters.

To be honest i was shocked he beat smith the way he did, Firstly smith isnt a stepping stone to anyone, Smith is a genuine european level contender, I was surprise Warren picked that fight for Degale sooo early in his career, So to see him box like that last night reminds me of a young Joe Calzaghe. Degale really seem to be coming into his own at the moment and i wouldnt be shocked if he was challenging for a world title in the next 18 months, For someone who hasnt been through a 12 round fight yet he sure did manhandle smith, I have never seen smith look like that before...Kudos Degale. Smith was awful I could have landed on him the amount of movement he showed He was trying to catch DeGale's shots on his gloves, but forgetting that he is about 3 times slower than DeGale.

good fighter and best british prospect Brook is a far better prospect IMO Cleverly has the tools, just needs more experience I can't see DeGale getting passed European level tbh.

Loads of people dont like Degale because hes cocky..but which fighter given a platform wouldnt be? Great performance but he does need to stop flicking punches when he can really bang one.
