Poor scoring. Degale was not impressive at all.

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.Comment

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.Comment

I think any top SMW beats him.Comment

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.Comment

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.Last edited by gmc_rfc_06; 10-13-2012, 05:33 PM.Comment

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