    I don't think Degale is athletic at all. The prime version of him could only look good for 4 rounds at best and he often fails to turn his punches over properly slapping away in easily avoidable wide stances flurries.

    I think he really struggles in any fight wherein a decent pace is pushed upon him and despite Eubank' s glaring deficiencies he can grind this fight out.

    You are spot on about Degale's gas tank, its always been horrific and spot on about his inability to properly turn over a lot of his shots which results in his wide slapping bull****. But for a guy that height, and with his reach, his hand speed is phenomenal along with some other athletic attributes but most are totally nullified by his complete inability to employ them and use them properly. If you could put a highly competent and intelligent fighters head and attach it Degale's body and attributes, his excellent athleticism would be unavoidably obvious. It's so crazy to me for a guy to have what he has yet never exploits it against any opponents.

    I agree with you on the result as well. I think Jr. Pushes such a hard and fast pace, that combined with Degale's tendency to drift to the ropes when he is gassed and this could end up being a horrific beating. The worst part about it all is that I don't thing CEJ has the power to stop Degale, and one thing you have to give Degale credit for is that he NEVER KICKS IT IN, he goes to war, which is extremely stupid for a fighter with his skill and talent but IMO I can't help but admire the **** out of it.

    I think CEJ mauls him over 12 or Degale's corner throws in the towel anywhere from the 8 onwards. If it goea 12 he will recieve a horrific ass whooping, the kind of beating where you actually see the seed of dementia planted. Id hate to see that happen but unfortunately I think its the most probable outcome.
