De Gale fight on Radio 5 Live NOW..and OLympic Spoilers!

[U.F.O]

Yep they all have great talent citing for the future DD

[DG.]

people need to get behind the fighters, degales got good ring craft & ability & is young & learning. his jab was dreadfull tonight
but hopefully he concentrates on the fundemental aspects of the sport rather then this flicking & peppering of meatless shots.

Very true and I wish him well, but when he have such a big platform it is one thing to perform badly on the ring ( not that he did) but to act like an arse on camera/radio is another thing..

BJ Saunders looked good but come on that was the biggest mismatch of the night,. That dude was small enough to be his son

I don't agree. They were all mismatches. Saunders made it look worse, because he was the only one of the three looking to end it early.

[U.F.O]

Nelson and Piper agree we me so there

Took an instant dislike to DeGale because of his fight dedication. Many people he could have dedicated that fight too, our fighting forces in Iraq and Afghanistan etc. But Jade fecking Goody??????

Well Gavin definately showed me, I really though his am style wouldn't convert well to the pros, but I was impressed with the way fought and went to the body.

i thought gavin got rattled at one stage,i agreed with jim watts anaylisis that gavins style forcing the action trying to stop the lad was not his naturall way of fighting he was landing flush & his shots didnt hold much power & all the time he was doing this he was in danger of getting clipped.i wasnt happy with the stoppage as gavin was looking to tire abit for me,but he'd of learnt the most in this fight.

That ref ALWAYS stops fights too early, but I heard he was involved in 2 contests where someone died so I guess it is better to be safe than sorry.

Personally I think he stops fights as soon as someone is in trouble.
