17 mins to go. Channel 5

Aye it should be an interesting fight.

I really think DeGale has to win impressively tonight and make a statement. He pro career has been a big anti-climax so far and he has to be smart tonight and not get into a fight with this guy.

The American's only 32. Boxed 4 times in 2 years but most recently in August, a KO win. He could be absolutely anything at this point. I agree, it would be a mistake to dismiss him before seeing what he can do.

pre-fight interviews

what sort of a show do you need to put on tonight?
What about Dyah Davies?
Your knee's 100% ok - so that's not an excuse if you lose?
So you need to put on a show tonight?

can't they get someone in the studio to field this crap and just let him get ready ffs?

Shoddy stuff. Nice to see Channel 5 give the fight next week a bit of free advertising. Degale seems like an afterthought.

yeah I don't get that. Anyone that's tuning in will be tuned in already. They aren't showing Froch Groves so strange.

Bernstein says the American is tricky and powerful. Could go the distance. Davies still dressed in trackies and putting on handwraps. Degale was stripped down banging his gloves fully 10 minutes ago...

Nice of Woodhall to wish the American luck. It would show a lack of class not to, but at least he's not glaringly biased.

Bloody ads

Davis is more of a boxer type. Not a particularily hard puncher but a defensively minded boxer who likes to box on the outside. Not sure what Bernstein is on about in regards to Davis being powerful.

seen Davies box before Columbo?

Seems to be held in a social club! Seems like a very strange atmosphere from the comfort of my sofa!

It's a shopping centre I think!

Watched some fights of his on youtube and dailymotion! He's not a bad fighter but Degale should beat him.

This isnt pretty to watch but Degale is dominating.

true , be interesting to see if he davis camp are banking on the usual lack of interest that often comes from degale mid way through fights

Degale is so boring to watch even when he's dominating

to be fair degale is looking damn good tonight, sharp and seems to have power.

Happy with Degale. He looks good and isn't being hit at all. Very easy after 5 rounds.

He's dropping too many rounds though! He's not a big puncher to begin with and he's away from home. Not a good tactic if it is the case.

Totally agree, hurry up and show Eubank Jr, this is pant pie!

I couldn't disagree with you any more

The most cringing thing about this is the c5 commentary bum sucking!

Am I the only one impressed?

I get so frustrated watching DeGale.

Davis is pretty poor to be honest. He has nothing to trouble Degale.

Yes.
