Re: Andre Dirrell vs. James DeGale predictions?
This feels like a proper 50/50 fight to me, both guys have talent but both are beatable, so its going to come down to who can execute their strategy on the night. Degale needs to be busier and back Dirrell up while Dirrell just needs to box and not get too negative or allow Degale into the fight. I feel like it is likely to be close and probably controversial and I expect Dirrell to get the decision if it goes close, so he has to be the favourite, but Degale has a legitimate chance in this one. Haymon paid a lot to make sure his fighter got home advantage for this one and I think it will end up being a smart decision.

I lean towards DeGale by close but clear decision. Andre hasn't shown as much in the last 5 years. I keep waiting for a meltdown of some sort.
DeGale v Froch would be a nice passing of the torch opportunity. How about DeGale v 3G?
