James De Gale's next opponent...

[whicker]

Nathan King.

Bit conservative, really.

I'm not meaning to be negative or nasty, but am I the only one who really isn't excitied by De Gale? Hard to exaplin, but this "Golden Boy" thing just doesn't seem to sell it to me any more.

King is a decent opponent. Ran Kenny Anderson close for Celtic title this year. Tough and experienced, will be difficult to stop.

Anyone know what has happened to Anderson?

[whicker]

I can see this being one of those stoppages that is perhaps a touch early. I've felt that in a few of the contests involving the Olympians it would have been possible to let their opponents carry on.

Credit for booking a British opponent and not Izdabittz Xgrokiliov

[Old bones Ian]

Anderson was charged with attacking someone with a hammer, but all charges were dropped in July.
Because of that his training was disrupted, but he makes his next fight on the 29th of this month, then takes on Paul David in a british title eliminator in January

really good fight for degale,i was expecting this fight to happen will give him rounds think his speed will overwhelm king in 6-7 rounds

[leforge]

This is a good choice of opponent at this stage he is very durable. Will anymore title fights be added to this bill?

I heard Simpson v Bell was going to be on the bill

Yeah- that would be a good solid support bout.

This bill not strong enough for ppv at the moment.

Agree.

Maybe they'll stick the Atlantic City bill on the end as a bonus?

Other than to die-hard fans, I don't think that would make any difference.

DeGale is being given guys who have low KO ratios. It's looking a lot like Khan's development.

It's only his fifth fight. What do you expect?

[whiskey]

Mick Monaghan would be a good opponent for this stage of his career.

that kubin guy has 4 ko's in 5 fights. even tho he was a bum. he had a punch on him

[Coco]

Certainly a difficult opponent for Degale, shows FW has great faith in him at this early stage of his career

[whicker]

just 1 ko though

I don't expect anything. I was passing comment.

That's an excellent match for a novice DeGale. What's not to like. Pound-for-pound, it's a sterner test than Steve Saville for Frankie Gavin, and everyone thought that was decent enough.
