Much though I hate DeGale, I feel his all round twattishness is a bit of a put-on. In the post-fight interview after his debut, they quizzed him about being booed and he looked really upset and hurt by it. He comes across as quite sensitive.

But at the same time, why feel the need to act such an arse in front of the camera? Surely it's just as annoying if he's a nice guy who acts like the biggest arse in the world in front of cameras?

My general theory on this is that if somebody spends 95% of their time acting like a cock, chances are they are not an actor, but a cock.

The other whilst clearly a decent prospect is essentially riding his fathers coat tails.

Can I suggest politely that JNR winds his effing head in

I'm not defending DeGale. In fact, I can't think of a boxer I have ever disliked as intensely as I dislike him. I was just responding to people's comments that he's a lot nicer off camera than on.

Can't recall who it was against but he was given a very tough time by the last or last but one guy he fought on channel 5 and his debut wasn't that impressive either. He must have caught the guy he boxed that day with about 30 big shots and never did much damage.

Agree on DeGale. He needs to develop his career his own way and stop worrying about Groves.
