All set for December 4th.
Fair play to DeGale for fighting him in his hometown.
Hard one to call this but it's definitely the toughest test yet for DeGale and will be a good indicator how how good he really is atm.
Does anyone knnow if the show is gonna be ppv?
Isn't this on the same bill as Del Boy - Wlad?Quote:

Can't see Wlad fighting in Liverpool tbh. ;D
Have you got a link to where you heard this mate? I haven't heard about this, and still have only heard that Smith is fighting Paul David with De Gale on the undercard just. I thought that they might be matched up to fight each other after. If Warren has got this together I welcome it as everyone wants to see the best fights happen.Quote:

Most likely... both big fights in my book. Must be a bit of a job (for Warren) putting two shows on at once though ???Quote:

To be fair, I'm clueless when it comes to Boxing Promotions.
Anyways, nice to see Degale fighting someone worth talking about.
Can't see Frank putting a match-up like this in Scotland on the undercard of Ricky Burn's "gimme" first defense ;D
December 11th is when they are meant to be fighting but there's no evidence it will be against eachother.
i thought del boy vlad was on the 11th too
is it not?

Sorry fellas, put the wrong date. I meant 11th (the frank warren 30th anniversary bill).

if degale really does fight smith next i will be impressed with his movement in the game
yo koppas who's the chick in your avatar?
Drago - Niki Belucci. Hungarian DJ who dj's topless. Just found she has done porn in the past. Done a quick google. Turns out it's true. :D
Thread in the Off Topic forum. ;D

Anyone who thinks Smith can win this is in la la land, the guy was getting outboxed by Tony Dodson ffs till Dodson ran out of gas.
Frank knows he needs to fast track the likes of De Gale and Gavin and I see no harm in this De Gale is an experienced fighter who is no kid he is 24 years of age and Paul Smith is average at best, I think De Gale will surprise a few and look very good against Smith.
The only probelm with his is the big step up after this fight where does De Gale go? I still think he needs a 2-3 fights against durable fighters like Smith but after Smith where does he go?
Magee ???

Yeah true. It's a bit of a bugger that. Spose there's always a chance that Eastman is still up for a fight???Quote:

Oh yeah, I read that Danny McIntosh wants a piece of your boy ( ;D )Tony Bellew. Could be made for the Dec 11th bill up in Liverpool. That would be a cracking battle of egos!
Tell you what mate, after Tony's last fight I wouldn't blame McIntosh he can bang that would be a great tear up, I still would fancy Bellew just on the fact McIntosh's chin looked a little shaky v Clev, but deffo a great scrap that one, but is that news recent mate? As I have been told he has turned it down as have alot of the potential opponents, Warren must be offering them fucking peanuts, because after Bellews last showing you would think McIntosh would love to jump in there with him.Quote:

I read it in today's ''Boxing News'' but god knows how old the actual news is? Hope it comes off though. I agree with what your saying about McIntosh's chin but Bellew needs to sharpen up big time.Quote:

DeGale wins this and he wins it easily.
De Gale will outclass him and look good.
But i think Smith will be durable enough to at least show us if De Gale can actually pack a punch.
Despite what many people think, I actually like De Gale as a fighter and I think he'll have a good career.
I have to back him - he's my favourite British boxer. ;DQuote:

I don't think its mad for people to think that Smith can win this. If we take into consideration that DeGale has only had 8 fights, never been more than 5 rounds, never been in a war and has never fought anyone decent. Smith has been in wars and been in with experienced fighters. I agree that his fights aren't pleasant to watch, especially Dodson fight in which he looked awful. Im sticking with Smith and think if he can drag DeGale into late rounds and make it a scrappy fight he could nick it on points with the home crowd with him.Quote:

i agree with you dudeQuote:

smith has a very good chance, i dont think he degale will get him out early and the longer the fight goes on the more de gale will have to take
i would actually bet on smith to win
had degale had a few more fights it might be completely different
de gale will have to deal with a very hostile crowd too, he is disliked as it is but in someone elses home town?
