Degale looked like a walking corps pre-weight in, I'm surprised he looked a little better at weigh-in and actually made it comfortable 167.4 I was expecting a 167.8 from him. Anyway the fact that he consider the weight-in a fight itself means he still struggled a bit.
Wonder if DeGale pigged out a bit after achieving his big goal of becoming a world champion. Wouldn't be the first time a fighter climbed that summit and let himself go for a bit. When your body is as fine tuned a machine as a world class fighters, that kind of thing can take a toll on you when you're just barely squeaking under the weight limit for years as it is.
Bute was terrified of Pascal , Degale is far more skilled, maybe he doesnt hit harder but he's more accurate, and he wont take 2 minute breaks throughout each round.
Being a fan is a strange thing. People who at first were thinking their fighter was going to lose become suddenly more and more confident. Bute's fans are writing posts where they see him winning, even if the guy froze against Froch, Grachev and Pascal. I am one of them!
