the way i see it is lee i taught was class baught inot the manny steward hype but his defense is non existant not only that when he gets hit he shits himself but the way people are talkin bout de gale after he beat a decidely average smith is bollox aswell b4 smith degale looked quite average in a few fights but i do admit if he keeps progressin he should do ok and to the poster who bigged up de gale because he is a british champ get real the british title means nothing on the world scene its a national title thats it dont see what the big deal is with it but all said and done lee needs to tighten up on defense if he would want to beat degale ...i hope he does because he is an excitin fighter and likeable not like that ali g lookalike clown degale
I've been watching both for a few years now, and people here really have a downer about Lee. I think this would be alot closer as when Lee gets into full swing with his jab and straight and counters, he can really be a classy boxer. My money would probably be on DeGale getting a points win, as his punches have way too much slap to take out Lee. Lee could definently take a few rounds if he forced DeGale on the defensive though so it'd be close.
Billy, how do you reckon Groves - Degale goes down? I know you probably back degale but how dyou reckon the fight goes?
I caught the highlights of Lee's last fight and I didn't see much that would worry Degale on that showing. Degale late stoppage.
