    After this fight both Dirrell brothers retire from boxing and apply for positions in Obama's Cabinet.

    Probably the best fight this month(on paper)
    I like DeGale in this fight. He has looked better than Dirrell in his last 2 fights vs better opponents.

    This is a great match up that I am really looking forward to.

    I really can't pick a winner. De Gale is looking at his best ever, but never facing an elite fighter we don't know what his level is and we may not have seen the best of him. On the other hand, will a prime Dirrell turn up? He has looked good, but not spectacular in his recent fights. Although we have said that before about him. Against Abraham he was amazing. Has the lay off and problems from that fight took away his best years?

    Dirrell at his best had the potential to be exceptional. Not exciting, but often the slick ones aren't. I hope we see both guys on top form as this is a very intriguing match up.

    DeGale might be the most underrated fighter in boxing today. He wins, and he is even money with Ward or GGG.

    I rated Dirrell going into the Super 6, I had him beating Froch, he was dominating AA before the foul. He has the talent and ability to beat anyone.

    But every since the AA fight he's been a bit of a head case. Been so inactive he makes Ward look like a busy fighter and I wonder if he has the mental fortitude to compete at this level again.

    I'll stick with Dirrell and say he wins a UD.
