    Am i the only person who thinks Andre Dirrell is a better version of George Groves? Better Ring IQ , Better Athlete and Bettter Boxing skills? Now i think that is true if........the Andre Dirrell is the one of old and not rusty just cruisin along in fights. Thats what scares me. If hes not the former then he gets beat. If he's himself he outclasses Degeale

        Dirrell is mentally weak and less offense minded than George. Once DeGale gets on the inside and starts landing, It'll be interesting to see how he copes. My concern is that DeGale was ineffective(for the most part) against Groves while coming forwards as he was always hesitant when in range and thus got disrupted by Groves's sharp jab. Dirrell can follow a similar game plan so DeGale needs to prove that he's learnt from that fight.

          I'm backing fellow Englishman Degale because he's English like me. That is all.

              Really looking forward to this one.

              I think Dirrell will win by decision but I'd like to see DeGale take the title. Assuming Groves beats Jack for the WBC strap, I'd like to see a unification bout between the two, which would be massive for British boxing.

                    DeGale is going to take this one and take it easy surprising us all.

                    Then we gonna talk about Ward-DeGale more than Ward-GGG/Kovalev..

                      Anxious to see how Dirrell does in his return back to the spotlight. Great fight.
