Comments Thread For: DeGale Smiles: Not Sure if Dirrell Really Has The Heart!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

JAMES DEGALE has laughed off Andre Dirrell's petty jibes, insisting his opponent doesn't have the heart to be a world champ.

The Londoner was on the end of more digs from the American's camp during this week's media workout, with Dirrell's loudmouth brother Willie shamelessly taunting the 2008 Olympic gold medalist.

Promoter Eddie Hearn was also in the firing line while DeGale has been copping flak on social media too.

Like them or not, and there are plenty who don't like either, both these guys are quality box-fighters are we're going to see some skilled action for sure and maybe even a great fight. I don't believe fighting away from home will hurt DeGale's chances the way it probably would with some Brits and since he got his hip problem sorted James had added an explosive element to his all round game. He's good to go. But Dirrell is real class and, to win, I think James will have to press things all the way. That probably means having to suck it up through much of the first half and then rely on grinding down Andre mentally. Dirrell was having fun in the Abraham fight until tiring and when the limited Arthur began connecting with a few the confidence, if not belief, seemed to go missing. DeGale is way better than Abraham. If he gets on top at any stage, I don't see him throwing it away.

Have to say...it may not be a wise thing to admit, although I suspect many purists agree, Im actually and have been more hyped for this fight than the 'SUPERFIGHT' 3 weeks ago.

This could be a skill filled thriller, I like both fighters style although a bigger fan of Dirrell.

Can not wait for this.

Dirrell has a horrible corner and 100yr old trainer

Andre Dirrell is America's most hated fighter with his Brother 2nd. America hates both Dirrells and that old 100 year old slave in their corner who is clueless. The 4 yr headache made Dirrell a laughing joke. Dirrell cannot sell a ticket anywhere. No fans no nothing but that horrible corner is a joke.
