Comments Thread For: DeGale Says Dirrell Better Not Expect Chess Match

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

James DeGale is ready to create his own slice of history this weekend ahead of his bout with Andre Dirrell for the vacant IBF super-middleweight crown in Boston.

The Londoner is hoping to become the first British boxer to win an Olympic gold medal and a world title on Saturday evening.

Standing in his way is the highly-regarded Dirrell, whose only defeat in a 25-bout professional career came in a controversial points loss to DeGale's compatriot Carl Froch six years ago.

DeGale is not taking the threat of Dirrell lightly, but the 29-year-old is convinced he will emerge with his hand raised.

I don't see degale winning this fight.. Can't wait till ward gets back in the mix but he's greedy

DeGale needs to use his feet better than he did against Groves. This will show if he has improved. Dirrell is likely going to be moving a lot like Groves and is faster from the outside than Chunky. DeGale needs to make this an inside fight.

Southpaw vs Southpaw. Should be interesting I think De Gale could stop him. That 12th round of Dirrel's last fight was real suspect and then those neurological issues? We'll see.

Dirrell is hated and despised in America for the headache

Dirrell is just not liked in the USA. neither Dirrell has a fan base and the old man Pappy in the corner belongs in a rest home. But Brits are weak and soft so Dirrell should win on points but no one cares and no tickets were sold. Dirrell couldn't sell a ticket in a prison if a pardon went with each purchase.
