I seen that he was an Olympic Gold Medalist ... and he had a huge sign on bonus to turn pro ... I have yet to see him fight ... i'm sure he has to has some skill to make it that far in the amateur ranks ... I also seen that he was sparring with Floyd for his preparation for that Marquez fight. Let me know something
I'm not talking about his personality ... i'm talking about his fight game ... he doesn't have to be a nice guy for all i'm concerned.
I've seen one of his fights and he looked pretty good. It's to early to tell. Give the man some time.
He sure is. Hes clearly a very skilled fighter but he still requires alot of work to adapt his amateur style into the pros... Well worth keeping track of.....as should the other UK + IRE 168lb prospects Sutherland, Groves and Jeffries :good
PBF said DeGale must have black in him cuz he was so skilled. was extreamly fast. and had great power. after a heated sparring session with peterson. (PBF ws going 50%) pnf brought out Degale and lets just say DeGale Proceeded to to Treat PEterson like the Wack A mole his Looks like. Degales says he will hire Mayweather Sr to be his Trainer from now on that way he can start learning te sills early unlike the hopeless Hatton. True Stroy heard it from a friend of a friend who's Brother girl friends cuzin got banged by Degale.
where you read that at? ... I want to see what happened with their sparring session ... are you saying that peterson was ineffective or something?
I'm not sure what I've seen.. Light sparring or an actual fight, but from what I recall DeGale looked lame. A tad uncoordinated, ugly mechanics.. Fairly weak. Unimpressive specimen.
I've been following since he turn't pro (Well he's on most Warren undercards). He's only had 3 pro fights but had looked fairly decent and is definetly improving. His most recent victory was a first round stoppage which he looked fast, with great movement.
