Richie is just there to deliver propaganda, he's an embarrassment. Degale is too thick to even realise Richie is trying to flatter and compliment him in the post-fight interview.

Who on earth can Degale beat? He's so average he gets drawn repeatedly into tough fights even with such carefully selected risk-free imports.

What a trainwreck of a broadcast in every way.

He wasnt happy with Woodall!

I expect Bika to beat Periban when they fight. Do you gents think that Degale could actually beat Bika?

What you mean? That was harking back to the days when Naseem was a complete pudendum on camera it makes for entertains viewing

I enjoy watching him too, and am actually a fan of him. Just think if he tightened up his defence and was more disciplined he could be world class

Bika would whack him.

I think the personality problem is that he really wants to be amusing, witty and charismatic but he just isn't intelligent enough to pull it off.

Eubank jnr looking top class as usual......

Yeah he's a work in progress but I think he's talented

Really cant see Eubank Jnr becoming a world champion... at the moment its hard to see him become a british champion.

What was the official round result in the degale fight?

I enjoy watching Eubank Jr., sometimes he just aint poppin'; like he's very aware of what he's going to do (which is no bad thing) but it maybe takes a fraction off his moves. The guy is still being matched tough so it's too easy to assume he should be shining way above what we're seeing.

Is Booth that tough a test though really? He's 11-10 or something.

Hughie Fury's opponent looked in great shape.

hughie fury following uncle tyson by teeing off on fat cruiserweights,though he does look like he`s got genuine ability,he looks and moves like a boxer and not a chubby brawler(a la uncle tyson)

I was wondering where I'd seen Hughie Fury's opponent before.

Then I realised, he used to work the door of a club called Flintlocks in Liverpool.

Can't be sure exactly when, but around 1979-1980.

I take your point. Booth certainly wasn't a step down plus his record has plenty of names for Eubank's win to be ranked against.

He looks bang average, no power, spends too long showboating and isn't amazing technically.

That was one of the worst bits of refereeing I have seen, a ridiculously early stoppage and Eubank Jr was able to get away with driving his elbow into Booth's face all fight.

I personally think Degale, talent-wise, is above Groves and Froch. But it's his attitude that is the problem. He had the ability to avoid all shots from Bozcic, yet backed into a corner and copped two clean left hooks. If he makes that mistake against Froch, Groves or any other super middleweight with a punch, he'll be in trouble.

Eubank jnr has been a complete con job by eubank he has conned c5 and trying with public but the boxing experts know this guy ain't gonna get anywhere, style without any real substance is shit unless your as amazing which he isn't

The African that Galahad fought was game but awfull what does that win really mean fuckall. He has got the strange ingle style what fighters struggle with and find awkward but needs to fight some competition - I reckon Selby would KO Galahad what about josh warrington or martin Lindsay etc

Degale only just fought 2 weeks ago, I know it was a 1 round blowout but his body peaked 2 weeks ago then he was off tonight. You can understand as Bosic is tough. To make weight again or stay at weight might have weakened him, he seemed weak. He just not as articulate to say as such instead talks same shit all time - I reckon with proper preparation 6 months, maybe train / spar in America, this guy can even beat WARD and theres a statement. Still needs to work on his technique, defence and cleanup his skills. This guy is the real deal when it comes to counter attacking boxer - Olympic gold at middleweight - hard weight to win it at - imagine if this was American he'd be in lb fr lb. To please fans he has turned into a brawler slugger, he needs to go back to see what has got him success whch his fast counters and combos.
C5 need to stick with this guy work in progress but best of british talent right now

C5 has to blame hennessy for such poor fights and a completely useless meaningless card, maybe C5 are intending to pull out as the finance for the boxing use to come from primetime PPV but primetime haven't done ought for ages. I reckon Fury is planning to jump ship for a big Sky Box Office against Haye so C5 are pissed after investing so much in Fury. Fury should fight Pulev - he has a better chance as will get chinned against Haye 100%. This guys chin is so big, if haye catches it with sommot big FURY TIMBER and is not getting up

Umm....!

Seriously?

Mick said on iFilm London on Friday that he has just signed a new deal with Channel 5. He also said that this card had to be put together at extremely short notice which explains the standard of the fights. You are not going to make Ali vs Frazier at 2 weeks notice.
