    He has looked good in his last two, so he deserves credit.

    But what I will say is, did Periban just turn up for the pay day? Degale can take a high from the fact he's the first man to stop him, but looking into it further Periban just looked out of shape (missed the weight for a start), slow, out of sync... so it was inevitable.

    The stoppage was going to come anyway, but for Howard Foster to wave it straight off like he did instead of giving a count was a joke.

    i wanna see him go a few rounds, see how he looks down the stretch. he's always looked the part aside from his "breathers" on the ropes, and appears to have a bit more dig now. certainly the pick of a bad bunch, shame about another premature stoppage.

    Hope he's not taking much from beating his last two opponents. Neither have been anything like prepared.
