    look people are deriding him but that was a great performance by him and he shows he has good tools. Ok he wasnt tested but his opponent came to fight and he picked him off like a machine gun through a door. I think he can become a decent fighter obviously we have to wait and see how he develops but for me he is the best of Warrens 'Olympians'.

    A long way to go... Jimmy Mac will get him fit and if he listens to the right people he will do the business.... a fight down the line with Sutherland for a strap is where it is going... but will he pass on that to put the record straight with George Groves???... Mmmmm :think:think

    I told you guys.

    You gotta give this kid a chance. He's got talent, you don't see the best of this kid until somebody comes to fight and he'll pick them apart.

    I feel really sorry for the kid. You can see from his interviews he does not like getting stick, he's really trying hard to be liked and he put on a performance that should make the boo boys eat their words.

    He won gold at the olympics so he cant be a bad fighter,if he keeps his feet on the ground and listens to his trainers unlike guys like Audley or tyrell Biggs why can he not follow in the footsteps of someone like at the worst Mark Breland and win a world title or 2.Give the guy a chance we should get behind all our fighters and support them not give them a load of greif whilst they are on thier way up and trying to learn the game.I wish degale all the best.

    Hmm I don't think so. I'm guessing he's mid 20's so I'm a little younger.

    Well done James shut the haters up, keep the good work up mate.
     
  15. :lol: You lot seemed to have changed your tune over DeGale since his first fight..... I was shot down by everyone on the British forum for saying James will go on and do well and is the best of the 3 "olyimpians" after his first pro fight.
