    Who do you think will win the 23rd May DeGale or Dirrell and why ?
    Also I would like to know your prediction about Tomoki Kameda vs Jamie Mcdonnell ?

    This is the closest Ward vs Froch fight you can get. I root for DeGale as I like his style better but its very difficult to outpoint Dirrell. We ll see if Degale can pull off a KO or a close points win. Although if it goes to cards Id expect a 116-112ish Dirrell win.

    I'll be honest.

    I've never seen DeGale fight in my life.

    Still confident in a Dirrell win though.

    Well don't be,,,, DeGale has a decent beard, and very good power...... Dirrell will either run like hell the majority of the match, or he's getting knocked out.

    Degale has got skills, does have tendencies to switch off and go to the ropes, it's a massive step up for him. It's a 50/50 for me

    An in shape Andre (providing he has not dropped too much) will be far too good for the grossly overrated Chunky.

    I remember Direll blowing an almost certain victory over Froch by ****ing about. What a talent and what a prospect Andre looked that night!!

    He also dropped the (at the time) iron chinned Abraham and basically boxed the ears off AA (who was prime).

    If the Direll from either of those fights turns up, he will comfortably defeat Degale (8-4) or maybe get a late stoppage (he almost had prime Froch out of there and Froch has a much better beard than James).

    This won't even be close. Lump every cent you have on Dre Dirrell. This'll be a 10-2/11-1 romp.

    I think DeGale wins, and if he does I hope he gets the credit he will deserve.

    I don't want to see or hear "Dirrell isn't the same anymore" or "Dirrell has slipped".

    I like DeGale, They are similar in a lot of ways but DeGale has better defence, angles, activity, punch variety and way more fluid in his attacks. Dirrell has faster hands and straighter punches in his favour though.

    This is exactly why I cannot take you remotely seriously when you are posting nationalistic nonsense on other threads.

    No one is asking you to scour the web for the fights of every marginal prospect on the planet. But to have never seen a guy like Degale fight? :patsch

    Last time I saw Degale, it was against Grooves. A really close fight. Groves is good, he was dominating Froch until Froch became Froch.

    So that is really an interesting fight. I think Degale pulls it. The reason: Dirrell has no fighting mojo. He just doesn't have it in him.

    dirrell beat Froch, Groves got stopped twice, but I'm pulling for Degale. I like his style.

    Kameda will crush that british bum. Tomoki is a bit overrated, he struggled in his last bout against an opponent he should have blew out, but he's not losing to some brit bum equivalent to the frankie gavins, and brian roses of the world.

    We will see.

    Don't you come on here after saying Dirrell is a bum, has slipped or is shot if DeGale beats him.
