Carl Froch vs James DeGale.

[IamInuit]

As good as Carl looked in annihilating Georgie, it does look like he's starting to slip. Degales timing could be perfect or a little premature. He reminds me a little of Gamboa. Speedy, athletic and flashy but sloppy as hell. Timing could also be his downfall via a perfectly placed counter by the cagey Froch.

James may be to focused on somehow outdoing Mr. Groves instead of looking after his career. Its almost like he still has a bug up his ass over that loss which begs the question. Would a Groves rematch not be a natural right now and then Froch?

Hes always struggled with any movement.

Iv thought over the last year or so that DeGale would beat Froch. Froch is too slow and static for anyone who can move and put combinations together and a southpaw to boot. I think DeGale also has a good chin which will be a bonus.

True enough. He looked like a deer in the headlights with Dirrell but looks the wizard when a guy is right in front of him.

Even an ancient Robin Reid had him punching thin air once hed warmed up in the 5th I think?

froch definitely isn't at his best against slick boxers


the dirrel fight was horrendous running rather than slick boxing tho, im not sure too many fighters would have landed too many punches on dirrel that night


and people always bet against froch, he looks like hes slow and doesn't box well and is easy to hit


but I think one day people are gonna have to accept he is none of those things


apart from perhaps easy to hit (at the very top level)

I just don't see that Degale can hurt him at all.

He could run around and beat Froch on Points and the southpaw aspect will be another bonus.

There really is only one way to beat Froch (unless he has an off night) and that's to box him and stay out of the toe to toe stuff.

Degale has it in him to do the latter you don't win Olympic Gold unless you have some decent skills
