    Less than a month to go and it's in America so degale must already be deep into camp you'd hope.

    at the time it looked an easy fight but rushing into this rematch may be a mistake. When he diagnosed the loss he said he needed to make changes in his camp, was the injury fully healed, was it too soon, did he take it lightly etc. I'm not sure we've got any evidence to suggest he's addressed those problems. In which case I see this as another long hard fight for him. It's not that I rate truax particularly but stylewise James had also liked to sit on the ropes while this guy is a come forward fighter/ champion fighting at home who already holds a win over James.

    i think it's a very hard fight and James will do well to come through this with a razor tight decision

    Truax needs to keep coming forward and work the body and the head like last time..if Degale can't win the rematch then it's all over for him.

    I think if he takes another loss then he will definitely change trainers.

    I think DeGale is on a lasting downward spiral. Bigger question is does Truax approach this just as hungry and full of fire after that career best performance and big upset. Strikes me as very level headed and realistic so think he'll come in exactly the same, workmanlike and looking to duplicate the win.

    Two decent fights. I'm even interested to see Lara versus Hurd.

    DeGale looked finished he was terrible Truax was really know more than a journeyman in his last two fights James has been smashed up so it does not board well
    for him he will have to improve,!!!!!! but does he have anything left because on that performance you would have to say NO.

    Want to give a bit of perspective because I often see "at home" and tend to think "in home country" applies better.

    This fight is about exactly even in distance from Truax's home as the distance between London and St. Petersburg.

    I think it's important to note this because Vegas doesn't care one bit where Truax is from. And when you understand that distance it makes a lot more sense.

    I think it's a bit early for DeGale to be jumping straight back in there with Truax, he could have done with a confidence builder (I guess that's what Truax was supposed to be 1st time ). I think DeGale pulls off in this one tho.
