Comments Thread For: DeGale: Not Everyone Will Like You, Look at Mayweather

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

James DeGale admits he has ditched his brash and boisterous image in a bid to clinch the IBF world super middleweight title and win the hearts of the British public.

DeGale takes on American Andre Dirrell in Boston on May 23 for the IBF belt vacated by Carl Froch earlier this year.

The 29-year-old is also hoping to make history by becoming the first Briton to win both a world title and an Olympic gold medal, seven years after he triumphed in Beijing.

A surprise defeat to George Groves in 2011 remains the only blot on DeGale's career record, but the Harlesden fighter insists he has changed in and out of the ring since that loss and is ready to become a world champion.

LOL! First time I've heard "pool parties" used as an excuse for dodgy form, he must've been hitting them regular! How many pool parties are there up in Harlesden?? I better get myself up to North Weezy asap

10-2 Floyd in my book. Is that a rip him apart? Yes, if you look at it in terms of humiliation. Manny looked like a D class fighter, "mismatch" doesn't even describe it. It was an embarrassment. I fell for the hype of Manny actually being a threat, he turned out no better than Guerrero.

Its ok to be butt hurt though.

The world is really laughing out loud when Pac fans prove to be even more delusional than the fighter himself. Your hero is a fraud, a flawed fraud at that. Winners win and we all know what losers do.. so keep it up, the only people not laughing at you are the ones as biased and delusional as you are. But the rest of the world thinks your a a female pu$$y wash.

Judging by his last few performances, he's definitely dedicating himself fully to his craft. I really hope Dirrell/DeGale turns out to be a great fight.

I think he can win,but I don't think the styles mesh well for it to be an exciting fight.

I don't expect it to be exciting either, think it'll turn out looking a little like Donaire/Rigo. I see DeGale willing to take more risks because he'll be fighting in foreign territory. Whether that leads to a victory or a loss, I have no idea. It's also cool to see two southpaws going at it. It shouldn't be too awkward of a fight since feet won't be getting stepped on or tangled up. I am definitely rooting for DeGale, as I think he has more entertainment value tbh.

dirrell doesnt know if he wants to be a southpaw or orthadox, i actualy think he's a natural orthadox and boxes better in that stance but he gets caught and doesnt like being hit. matrix is not that complicated.
