    sorry but this will be a snorefest with Andre winning on points. Sadly its on at the same time as Eurovision so i won't watch live.

    James is made for the big stage. That's clear to see. Wembley, anyone?

    Andre isn't what he was in 2009/10. That is also clear to see.

    James via points or a late stoppage.

    I think James stops Groves, Carl and Andre at this point of his career (just not on the same night, obviously).

    I agree with all of the above with the possible exception of the timing of the stoppage., I think if he begins to catch Dirrell in the first few rounds, he'll have him outta there around the 7th/8th, if not by then I think it goes to the cards.

    Andre Dirrell wins in easy fashion. Degale has absolutely nothing for him.

    All the American fights should start around 6pm local.. that way it can be more global.

    Boxing is a night time sport, fans want a 9/10PM bell time.

    Genuine 50/50 fight. It would be good for British boxing if he can bring the title home.

    PS i was pleased to hear it was another afternoon show in the states and can actually watch the fight at a sensible time. Does anyone know how much influence (if any) Sky had when scheduling the fight times etc? The same thing happened 2 weeks ago with the Burns and McDonnell fighting in Texas.

    I've been sick to death of the 5 AM fights recently, boy is it nice to actually watch a fight before going to bed.

    Degale will outbox him.

    Younger, hungrier and simply a better boxer.

    Dirrell will win a close but clear decision.

    I think some fans are getting a bit over excited about Degale and overrating him a bit afer his wins against Periban and Gonzales.

    I think Degale has this in the bag. When he want's to be, he's world class.
