Bit of an exaggeration there he came very close to stopping him in the 5th. Also was only beat narrowly on points & on a Mayweather undercard lets not forget. Degale should beat him but its not as one sided as being made out IMO.
Also gave Bika one hell of a fight.....was very highly rated on his way up.. Deffinately a dangerous fight for James if he brings it....I think be will bring it as if he loses there is not many options left for him. Could be a *******!
The fight will def go 12 rounds ...& on a eddie hearn show....the eddie hearn fighter will always win!
Sierra has been a handful for a few people and was for groves for a good 4 or 5 rounds so not really a mark against Periban. Should be a good fight. Degale performed well last time out but I have always suspected that he might have to propensirty to get caught out by a fighter he shouldn't, Have to old my hands up though asnd say he did a great job against hunters guy and looked a million dollars. looking forward to this fight. Probably the most even other than the main event.
He is the closest thing to a "live underdog" on the undercard but I still give him virtually no chance. That is how poor this card is. I think DeGale will destroy him.
The odds for a KO win for Degale are 5/2 - looks value given the power he demonstrated in his last fight, and the fact that Periban was beaten by J'leon Love. Thoughts?
I will have a look saturday, they sound great odds for a DeGale stoppage. I do not think he will be counted out but I see DeGale forcing the ref to step in.
periban is being underrated but not to the point where people can say theres a chance of a possible upset, because i highly doubt there is. degale will win comfortably on points if he doesn't force the stoppage sooner which i think he will.
