    Ill give 1-50 he mentions groves at any time>running time of commentary

    Ill give 4-1-he calls Dirrel a coward.

    Ill give 4-1 he mentions knockinggroves out in front of 80 000 fans at wembly stadium.
    He'll definitely emphasise all his sentences will extra phrases such as "he really does" or "it really is" or "it's as simple as that"

      Dirrell is his toughest opponent yet.

      Degale's resume as a pro is pretty poor, so if he beats Dirrell then he deserves to be labeled 'world class'.
      Ummm he is a prospect fighting for a World title and not asking to fight a Mayweather or a Pacquiao not that it would be applicable given his weight class. His resume is that of a typical prospect with faded former World champs and fighters who once challenged for World titles.

      How many World class fighters Froch beat before Pascal?

          Really? What is Dirrell, please tell me.

          All I see is a guy trying to do a very poor Muhammad Ali impression and that was 5 years ago. The guy is lucky to even have gotten a shot at a world title.

          DeGale wins unless there are some home town shenanigans.

            DeGale looks in better shape than usual.

              I have to say I like Degale's confident in this interview. He's eager to prove himself and confident without being full of himself. I still think Dirrell will win but it should be a great fight.

                I believe Dirrell-DeGale could be a close one. Here's an interesting preview of that bout right here: http://previews.throwdownfantasy.com...kends/:boxing:

                  I like James, he's a fellow Arsenal supporter, British etc but I also like Dirrell and I don't think he can beat Dirrell who was robbed vs Froch and easily beat Abraham. Experience for Dirrell and his speed will help him win on pts and I don't think Degale has enough power to KO Dirrell either.

                    Dirrell doesn't look the same since the injury and layoff so I'm giving DeGale a shot at winning this.

                      dirrells resume rules over degales bigtime.
                      a very big step up for degale. will be interesting
                      to see how james handles being so far from home
                      and the bright lights.
                      expect dirrell to bicycle his way to a ud.
