To take the title on points , you have to win rounds pretty convincingly and I don't think Degale works hard enough for 3 minutes every round to do that. admittedly , his last 2 fights have been much better, but I'm not totally convinced. I'm not convinced Degale would beat Groves either, and within 18 months , Callum Smith will mop the lot up.
Yeah I get what you're saying and it would be my main concern for james in this fight. As impressive as he was vs Gonzales and periban there were still moments where he took his foot off the gas & went on walkabout. He needs to stay focused on the gameplan & not get distracted cuz he's be in with a real shout given his superior speed. George did well early in the 1st froch fight when he stood his ground but he is chinny and fades. Degale doesn't suffer from that although he does need abit more experience before he's thrown to carl.

I'd put james in with dirrel tomorrow. Abraham would be a valuable experience too. Carl at this stage is abit risky. Id say 50-50 but in 6 months I'd favour james to beat the Nottingham legend
