Am i the only one thinking Degale looked like ¨¨¨?

Degale is faded yes but he won this one. Groves would beat him again though. Degale has earned his stripes though.. Groves, Dirrell, Bute, Jack, Truax, Zuniga... He's done a lot of it abroad too. Plus he won gold. Give the guy his props ..

 

James DeGale is well past his best. Uzcatagui should make easy work of him at this stage.

 

The gold had a touch of fortune about it and he hasn't looked good for a long time now. He gets tooled by any top 5 fighter.

 

Uzcategui and Benevidez decapitate him.

Degale will probably bring the belt back to the UK and try to milk it until another cherry pick goes wrong.

 

DeGale is clearly a spent force at the top level. If anything he overachieved for me, I never expected him to do much when he turned pro.

He should avoid a 3rd fight with Truax if he wants to keep his belt, no guarantee he wins it and he can't keep having tough fights like this. I expect a lot of people to target him, they may see it as an easy way to a belt.

 

I'd imagine that eye had to have affected him greatly, and it happened so early in the fight. I didn't think he should've been deducted in the 10th round for that shoulder maneuver, so all in all I thought he eked out a competitive decision.

It's hard to assess his current level after last night's performance given the injury he sustained so early on. But he did win his title back, so it's not like it was that abysmal of a performance. If anything, he showed a lot of heart while trucking through the last 10 rounds with that bad cut.

 

He wasnt good. Im sure i remember DeGale prefering to work at his jabs reach and moving a hell of alot. Both fights against Truax its been like im watching a different fighter. A **** one.

 

Stick a fork in his belly....He's done as a top level fighter. Finished

Groves, Eubank, Coxx Smith alll brutally send him down to hell if they were to fight.

 

I was very disappointed in both men. the first fight was very entertaining the rematch was a shoving match

neither guy did much of anything but I think degale came on when it mattered and truax down the stretch i felt was the one looking to hold on

 

Too many injuries Degale. Am 100% certain that his shoulder is still a massive issue, he was never a huge puncher as it was but looks like no pop at all anymore.

 

Yikes, I tried watching this morning, what a dire fight.

I think James needs to hang up his gloves. He's had a lot of wars and taken punishment. He no longer looks the fighter he was. I give him credit for travelling overseas and facing tough opposition, but it looks like it took its toll. Over these two fights he's made a limited fighter look better than he actually is.

He's won his belt back, so he can retire as a champion. That's a fitting end to a good career.

 

Is he still with the same trainer? Does he still voluntarily give ground, wander to the ropes and take a battering there? If so, it just means he has the same old flaws, and a good trainer can correct some of them.

 

He really needs a world class trainer now, he's not progressing at all
