Ever heard of Mayweather?

Oh yes cut from the same cloth is chunky

I never compared them

DeGale is showing a good heart in there, came back in the 10th well.
But needs to sustain an attack, he smothers his own good work

Sounds like a Klitschko fight Columbo

Haha.

The way the commentator just mentioned how Degale was 27 you would of thought Degale is about to get his bus pass.

groves cant beat froch. Groves and degale are on similar levels and always have been, groves has just got chunkys number. Groves hasnt been fighting a much lower level of opponent then degale since beating him. Theres world title shots then theres world title shots.

"Degale is fighting a lot of this round as a right hander, oh now he's gone to lefty." That was with 2 minutes and 30 seconds left of the round!!!!!!! Jesus, I'm watching C5 with the sound off next time.

MASTERCLASS !!!

hes done it for donkeys i always thought he was just trying to spin his man but i think you are right he is now just using it to pull him down and punch Bruno style.

Not impressed with either boxer tonight, i do like DeGale usually but that just didn't work for him tonight.

First half of the fight was textbook by Degale. The second half he tired and it was messy.

I'm still no further forward on whether he can win the world title! Don't rate his power.

Ur reply makes no sense - u quote floyd i replied with ray - anyway u saying degales performance is akin to a pbf one? Surely that is what u were getting at? If so u crazy

if you did that you would have missed the gem "chunky's gone clunky".

118-110 all judges in sync to degale

I respectfully disagree, I think he showed in the first 6 rounds that he would give any SMW not named Ward trouble

This post fight interview might be tasty..... hope so!

Or Dirrell.... Andre I mean.

I can see both sides here...I can understand why people thought that was a good performance but totally appreciate those that thought it wasn't. I've just come to the conclusion that DeGale is that kind of fighter...some like him, some don't.
For me he's just too frustrating, I always expect him to explode into life and no sooner he does something good he then goes and starts arseing around again.
118-110 was spot on, Davies did nothing to trouble DeGale tonight.

Didn't see the fight, but I'm not sure how he could show that against someone as limited as Davis. Pyror Jr. pretty much shut him out over 8 too.

Fair enough, but I think that Groves would fair better in that super six than Degale would. I guess a lot of it is that people take to different people, I happen to think that Degale isn't very interesting to watch, and considering his persona, you'd think he'd be all style and skills etc. I'm just not that impressed.

Sarcasm aside degale was more mobile tonight, not sat on the ropes, however not much coming from Davis to really judge where Degale is really in regards world class and the flush shots never seemed to trouble davis so that would be a concern at world level for me.

What happened to the days when a masterclass involved a fighter landing combo after combo whilst making the other guy miss? When the performance was crowd pleasing? Shows how our standards have fallen when hit run hold is now looked upon as the such.

I think Degale was coasting tonight. Davis just wasnt good enough in any department to trouble Degale. They'll be stiffer tests than this but Degale is a good fighter.

Bika beats degale. Periban too probably.

oooooo heres the excuses
