DeGale

Meh, he gets benefit of the doubt for being rather inactive these days. Neither he nor the intolerable Eubank Jr showed any knockout power, which is quite concerning. DeGale's trainer is an absolute moron, does anyone share this opinion?

Degale reminds me of Khan a lot. Fast, speedy, but lacks boxing IQ and some power. When he attacked, he looked good, but he often would rest on the ropes... and his footwork let people get straight to him...

Dude needs to learn how to throw a proper punch first. If not, sit down on those slaps a little, otherwise he wont be able to gain no respect and therefore no control in a round. Degale reminds me of calzaghe in a lot of ways, although calzaghe really ***** slapped his opponents to death.

degale looks decent when he lets his hands go but he'll never amount to anything on the world stage.

I dont understand the hate for this performance? He came up against a strong motivated fighter who piled on the pressure, exactly the opposite of what you want when you have been inactive. Most of the fight i thought he looked tired more than anything, but when he did get some energy and move to the centre of the ring he quite easily out boxed the frenchman. He also hurt mohoumadi more than he was hurt himself. It was a close hard scrap which i believe he came through quite comfortably by the end. I think its good to see a fighter matched this tough early in his career and hopefully we can see him fight more often from now on!

wow the hate is strong for degale

I was very disapointed with Degale, too predictable and bad tactically, made it hard for himself. Threw sparadically, walked to the ropes, laid on the ropes where his opponent wanted him and took punishment, got of the ropes after a minute walked straight back to the ropes again. He basically got bullied and rough housed and in reality scraped the win.

One of the scores was 119-109, you've got to be kidding me. It was a pretty close fight and the Frenchman showed a good performance. Home decision.

Really isn't very good. We have known this since the Olympics. His medal was gifted to him. He barely threw a punch the entire games, just held onto everyone for dear life.

Most rounds mohoumadi really struggled to land despite throwing much more and having degale backed onto the ropes. Degale squares up a little too much and needs to work on smothering his opponent's strong hand on the inside but he really didn't get caught as much as the commentators were making out and certainly not cleanly until the last third of the fight. Mohoumadi won maybe 4 rounds at most. Degale has only had 1 fight since october 2011 and it's only his 14th fight. This wasn't bad for degale.

Only 14 fights into his Pro Career, that is still a very YOUNG CAREER!

I will be surprised if he wins a world title

Probably the closest fight I've ever watched, but I think Groves knocks DeGale out next time they meet.

Good ability, just a bit lazy and loses concentration. French guy has an iron chin though, that wasn't down to poor punching from DeGale. I still think he beat Groves, just for the record.

I thought DeGale JUST about won. But wow. DeGale has so many flaws right now...the main one being lack of power/pitty-pat punching. I mean seriously, almost every punch DeGale landed had no effect on this guy, even the ones that landed directly on the chin... He reminds me of an early Amir Khan with that type of punching. The other glaring flaw is his inside defence... he got hit way too much, and he's lucky as hell as the French dude had no power whatsoever. DeGale is clearly talented, but he's frankly quite amateurish in some respects. He MUST be kept away from World level until he improves.

I think he would beat Kessler.

Well he won, that's one positive for DeGale. The Frenchman came to fight and made it a tough inside battle. Agree with the poster who said he was getting hit way too much. Froch/Kessler would stop him on that performance, he needs to improve his defence. I think any top SMW beats him.

He needs a Rob Mccracken imo, to focus his defence and boxing on the back foot but keep his style of boxing. exactly what he done to Froch, didnt change him that much just improved him.

He's shown to be pretty average
