Froch would knock DeGale out.

But it might end in a stoppage

Agreed, but that doesn't mean it would be easy. After seeing DeGale fade last night, I see him running out of gas and getting stopped late while being ahead on the cards.

Now when DeGale just got the WBC belt, I don't think that Hearn would put him in front of Froch -- in case Froch wins, the Brits will lose that belt, because froch retires soon.

That could happen, DeGale has long had this habit of fading in the middle to late rounds. I personally think he needs a new team behind him, a better nutritionist and a better coach.

50/50 Fight.

Froch is older and battle proven.

Degale is young and hungry.

I'd favour Degale at the moment, but...

If Froch finds the motivation he (at his best) stops Degale late.

That's the most likely outcome. You just can't fade with Froch unless your chin is made of steel or you are a master clincher.
