Re: James DeGale- getting better!
I agree he is now starting to improve but it's taken far too long.
He wasn't amazing or anything on Saturday at Wembley but he got the job done. His performance was fine but from the first 3 seconds and first punch of the fight the other dude didn't want it.
More so than any improvements, I see a stylistic change in him, he was far too cautious before and that cost him the Groves fight, and also led to a lot of people disliking his fights. On Saturday he came out and showed an aggressive style from the first bell and won some people over.
HOWEVER: I am not someone a fighter can turn based on one fight, I see boxing for what it is, a form based sport, you're only as good as your last fight, and DeGales last opponent didn't even begin to test him, so lets see a step up and I'll judge him more accurately then.
You say tomato,
‘n I say …… it correctly.
