Early Stoppage, but can we start giving Degale some credit?

    I'll give him credit it was a good show of power in the ring and general bullying. I do think he may struggle against Froch though however I want to see it!

        He looked great, and actually had some power in his shots. He's been very slappy in the last couple of years.

        Quick, good skill, improved power....good to see.

        I do, however, still worry about his stamina. In previous fights he has got tired and sat on the ropes far too often; Froch would punish that, and badly.

          In all seriousness, degale is very good, no fighter could look good against him. i would pick him to beat froch but the fight never happens

            DeGale has always struck me as a fighter who performs better when he's in with a better level of opponent.
            He was fighting on a big stage lastnight and looked really good. I think he needs the bigger fights to bring out the best of him.

            Looked sharp and aggressive..looking forward to seeing whats next for him.

                Did you watch Groves v DeGale? He was good for at least a draw, and if there had to be a winner it was him. JDG is another one of those fighters who is arguably unbeaten.

                Gonzales looked very good in his previous fight.

                    I was impressed with his showing against Gonzales. DeGale is a bit of a wild card because of his style. Rangy southpaw, throws weird punches, can, box and slug it out.

                    I didn't expect him to walk through Gonzales. Premature stoppage or not Gonzales was getting destroyed. DeGale was landing Bolo punches on him lol. That KD was vicious and I was surprised Gonzales made it off the canvas
