Very slow career.
Yeah i watched it before the Burns fight and I was less than impressed. Degale still slaps, still gets lazy and loses concentration, still stops and admires his own work rather than going for the finish and he still gets hit way too much. His defence is seriously shit and to me he isn't improving much at all. He needs to change trainer and promoter. As he does with all his fighters Hennessy has him fighting nobodies in complete obscurity. How can a highly rated Olympic Gold medal winner be fighting for buttons on small hall shows? Because Hennessy couldn't market shit to flies. For fucks sake George Groves doesnt even have a promoter and he has fashioned his own opportunities. Degale needs to be tested and fighting some fucking unknown Armenian while Groves is fighting for World titles on PPV is just embarassing.
100% agree.

He needs to start taking risks against tough fighters who can take him 12 and offer some offense.

Otherwise he will only be remembered for one thing, a loss to Groves.
