Carl is a solid fighter, and i expected him to beat Adamu and his duly did....only to get robbed by the blind mice at ringside. He also seems a very decent fella from his posts on here.
But i do think this one is about levels and Degale has the potential to operate on a far higher one than Carl. Sure he can be cocksure and rub people up the wrong way, but his talent is undeniable. He's slick, quick, accurate and his punch power has increased massively now he's sitting down and throwing punches the professional way. The British scene at 168 is hot as hell with 5 genuinely world class performers at the weight in Froch, Degale, Groves, Smith and Magee.
If Degale is to reach anywhere near the level i expect him too, then he should get past Dilks without too much difficulty. I think he will stop him, but even if he doesn't get the stoppage i expect he'll win every round. No disrespect to Carl but i just don't think he has the attributes required to genuinely threaten Degale. But if i'm wrong then by all means i'm certainly here to be held accountable after putting this thread up.....lol
However i won't be wrong, Degale comfortably for me
