From the BBC interview... Interviewer: "Your opponent comes from Georgia, you'll have boxed a few eastern europeans in the past. They can be tough customers" Degale: "They are very, very tough. They are very, very tough... ... it's like Russia innit really" This guy makes me realise that Amir Khan is actually a good bloke.
london talk does not mean coming out with a comment like that - thats just Jade Goody thick. if 80% of people aged 22 or whatever come out with that then WE ARE ****ED as a country. anyway, its more the point that his whole interview he comes across as an arrogant ****. and he hasnt earnt the right to be that yet.
it took an interview with james degale and a comment from me for you to realise that were ****ed!!!!! Floyd Mayweather and Roy Jones Jnr, the two best fighters of the past 10 years, both won olympic medal, both could be described as arrogant cocks. i saw an interview the ohter week with billy joe saunders. in it billy joe spoke of how he almost got sent home from the plympics because frankie gavin got his **** out on the beach in china, and the woman who complained said it was billy joe. this came up in the interview with because frankie gavin was exposing himself in public while billy joe was being interviewed. they both laughed about it, i think this shows what a **** is.
I'm sure he was talking about fighting styles guys. Obviously he got hit a few times in the amateurs. :nut
"A few weeks ago when it was snowing and cold he was out there at 7am pushing out press-ups and now I just want to get his first fight out the way so he can start to relax." McDonnel on DeGale.
Is this the same Jim McDonnel that Degale refers to as 'Jim McDonald' in the interview? he cant even remember his trainers name.
Is it official then? Degale is the new and improved figure of hate and ridicule for the internet generation of boxing fans? Can't have an Olympic gold winner being confident can we!...For confident , read arrogant. Move over Amir - you're alright now you got bashed up!:yep
Im from London. I don't talk like that. Yeah i talk Pidgeon when im with my friends. But when im in a professional environment off comes that hat and on comes the professional hat. Degale is a twat.
