i like degale when he's landing punches in 2s 3s and 4s not when he's on the ropes with his hands down id like to see him and groves again degale to win late stpg and then go on to fight froch in a real hard fight
And that's based on what exactly, a decent win over a very average opponent who still managed to catch him a number of times?
2 or 3 rounds he would look decent against Froch. After that, it's all Froch. 1. Degale doesn't hit hard enough to keep Froch off. 2. He likes to fight off the robes, bad idea against Froch.
doesnt have the power to keep froch off, think froch would put him away mid rounds far to strong, both de gale and groves need a magee abraham along them lines then go for a title, stieglitz is the one to target then maybe a froch dust up
Yep, as someone previously said, Defail would get up on the ropes thinking he's a genius and can counter and duck anything and get Bute'd.
First of all, Degale is not slick, he never will be, he's fairly easy to hif fof European level guys, Froch would have a field day. Froch could easily outbox him off the backfoot or just walk through his slaps and knock him out.
Sorry i did not know this mate i never checked his record on boxrec i thought he got stopped around 7 againts Abraham.
He retired in the second round against Abraham IIRC. Claiming broken hand or similar. Post fight examinations showed no break.
Still it was a decent peformance from Chunky and just because abraham bombed him out in two does not mean he would beat Degale. Paul Smith even said Degale would deal with Abraham accordingly
