James DeGale- getting better!

[Master]

DeGale would be better served if he wins the title after Froch relinquishes it and then builds up interest in a fight with Froch by beating Kessler/groves/bika/AA type.

Yeah, that was a very good showing imo. I really haven't enjoyed watching him box much of the time, but he's going to be hell for anyone, very different kind of southpaw than you usually see. He still seems to fight a bit jerky(?), in and out without setting things up or sticking to a jab, makes for a lot of mauling and holding etc. But, he obviously has power and the ability to set up punches from different spots, and his chin has looked real solid to. I'd only doubt his chances in a fight with Ward off the top of my head, would love to see him against Froch next.

The fact that Gonzalez fucking sucked helped out DeGale

I personally think DeGale is awful to watch , he has a strong chin but little else.

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.

But it wouldn't be good for the sport... we have to wait and see what takes place.

I don't think he's getting better, his opponenet saturday was poor and since he fought the Groves fight I see little improvement from him. Personally I think that DeGale will be Froch's last fight because its a guaranteed win for him. And it'll be at Nottingham Forests ground.
