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.
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.
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.
