degale a great prospect.

[AGGRESSOR]

He wasn't hurt out on his feet, not even rocked, just too many punches landed is all.

As opposed to daweson, Williams, Alexander eh?

British bum, just like the rest of them.

Montiel will be on his ass soon enough.

DeGale should go for a world title next year, against that Stieglitz guy who has the WBO belt maybe. DeGale would probably beat him. 1 or 2 more fights and then go for it.

Maybe not a world title contender yet but he out worked Smith, he needs to stop flicking punches when he can land real power punches.

[Dave Rado]

he fought well he needs to fix some things but good fight

I agree, he looked like a world class prospect, IMO, but still a work in progress. His main weaknesses as I see them are that he often paws with his jab and needs to learn to jab with power; and that he flicks like an amateur a lot, which in the pro game is pointless.

Dawson vs Johnson? Williams vs martinez? Alexander vs Kotelnik...or am I missing some bizarre point?

Hats off to to Degale beating an experienced domestic fighter of a 29-1 record in only his 9th fight.

I don't believe he should fight Groves yet though, could be built up for a bigger and better showdown in a year or so.
