    James DeGale

    It wasn't just Khan who fought last night, so let's talk somebody else. This first page in NSB is a joke.

    Anyone else see his fight last night and what's your thoughts on him.

    I really dislike the guy and wanted Smith to do a number on him last night but I got to hold my hands up and say the kid can back up all the shit he talks. Obviously he still throws some amatuerish shots but for someone with only 9 pro fights to go and beat someone so more experienced and a good british/european level fighter so easily really did impress me.

    I like Chunky! He's ****y as f`uck but he is amusing with it. And the boy can fight, Smith got outclassed as i expected and Groves who i like too looks like he'd be out of his depth with Chunky

      I like Groves a lot and would of picked him to edge DeGale before last night but not anymore.

      I don't know why but there's something about DeGale that makes me think he
      can take a helluva shot as well as being able to dish it out.

        Missed this one.

        I'm surprised he was so dominant.

        I like Groves a lot, but that meltdown against Anderson has me worried. He gets hit clean - a lot.

            Don't forget, NSB only watches mainstream fights.

                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.

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

                    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.
