I think Dirrell easily outboxes him next time out.
    DeGale impressed me. I think he won easily. The KDs and coming on strong the last two rounds had me convinced he would win. Rematch? Sure, in the UK.
    No rematch, it had too many dull rounds where they were just standing. Forget that.

    He's ready for anyone, Dirrell is a really hard guy to fight. Aside from the knockdowns that fight went more or less how I thought it might, Degale was lucky to win but he'll do much better against anyone else aside from Ward imo.

    I wasn't terrible impressed with his performance against Dirrell. Got the knock downs but got sloppy and completely took his foot off the gas in the mid rounds.

    I don't "fancy" (as the Brits say) his chances against Froch or Groves.

    Ward would eat him for breakfast.

    I'd pick him over Froch if it happened, that's a completely different task. How often is a good southpaw going to have to fight another? Not to much you can read into it imo, and the fact that DeGale was even able to drop Dirrell early like that is a statement. He's not fleet of foot and maybe cant pace himself well over 12, but I seriously think it wouldn't matter and he'd knock Carl out.

    De Gale does not have the power to knock out Froch, not even GGG does. De Gale best bet is to out box him. Do not get carried away, even De Gale was surprised he knocked down Dirrell.

    Don't get carried away yourself, SON! DeGAle absolutely has enough power to stop Froch imo, and that would be his best bet. Dirrell is much harder to tag than Carl is, the fight would be completely different.

    Yes with Carl Froch bullying and out working De Gale.
