James DeGale-Andre Dirrell --- SKY/NBC. Fact.

[IamInuit]

Dirrell and I dont think its going to be all that competitive. Degales promoter probably low balled the purse bid on purpose. I think he's going to have that same deer in the headlights look that Clinton Woods had when he fought Tarver. I dont think Degale has the melon for it and he brings nothing to the table that is better then Dirrell.

The similarities are uncanny though.


Degale is 6' 1 and Dirrell is 6' 1
Degale has a 75" reach and Dirrell has a 75" reach
Degale is 29 and Dirrell is 31
Degale is a southpaw and Dirrell is a southpaw
Degale can switch hit and Dirrell can switch hit
Degale has 20 wins 14 ko's with 1 close loss and Dirrell has 24 wins with 16 ko's and 1 close loss.
Degale seems weak in the head with a lack of focus in adversity and Dirrell seems weak in the head under adversity
Degale thought he was next coming and Dirrell thought he was the next coming

Speaking of which, Andre changed his alias to " The Resurrected"....I guess SOG was already taken

I have been up since 3:45am covering a charity bike ride so hopefully I can stay awake for the first British Olympic Gold medalist to win a world title. O 'Sullivan is all action right now

[Silkeyjoe]

O Sullivan in a complete mismatch. Didnt look great though. Very wild

[Master]

Sullivan v Macklin would be good.

Spike can be in a lot of good fights. I dont think hes world class but fights against GGG and Cotto would be fun watches so why not?

Lets not get carried away here.

What's the odds that David Brent can answer a single question without talking about himself?

[IamInuit]

James looks real confident. From the weigh in to the entrance to the arena.
