I think they all looked pretty good.

Gavin seemed to go up a few gears after the cut.. and looked much better for it.

Degale didn't deserve the boos Looks like he's been watching plenty of Calzaghe

Th flurries looked a little stupid IMO, it's ok to emulate the stars, but why the hell emulate the stuff Joe got criticised most for. Didn't hear the boos, some twat had the jukebox on in the pub.

It's impossible to say how far they'll go, all three have a hell of a long road of progress ahead of them, but I was certainly most impressed with Saunders.

Yeah I'd say he got booed by a good 50% of the crowd.

Still far too early to comment on any just yet. Wait until they have had at least 5-6 fights.

Was he booed cos the fight was dull, or because the fans don't like his talk? Couldn't hear what was said but he looked a little dejected post fight.

Edit: so it was the peformance. Damn right he's gonna need thick skin if he insists on the arrogant persona. Turtle shell or not, Naz backed up his talk against the early guys by munching them.

[clintuk]

Ah they all did what was necessary really, although I was a little annoyed with De Gale, for the slappy approach he sorta took...quite irritating!

I'm sure he'll figure it out n change his ways though

He'll have to to keep up with his motor mouth

[Kirkland Laing]

OK, I'm going to rank how well they'll do in their careers after seeing them have one professional fight. I expect to have totally changed my predictions after another few fights.

1. Saunders.
2. De Gale.
3. Gavin.

I think Tony Jeffries looked really good last night. Good jab, good balance and heavy handed. I'd like to see him do well considering he comes from the same part of the world as me.

[Conrad]

I thought they all looked good to be honest, Saunders especially. My only concern about De Gale is his power, or lack of it! Considering his opponent just sat there taking everything you'd think he would have at least rocked him
As already said, the slapping was annoying too.

Also, are all the fighters south paw?

[littlebif]

I think out of the 3 Degale has most work to do if he wants to make it in the pro's.He slaps alot his jab is poor and he follows through with his elbow sometimes.He was cocky before the fight not so cocky after it maybe he will learn not to be so cocky.

[Fenster]

The booing started at the end of the 2nd round (i think). It clearly bothered him, he asked Jim McDonnell why are they booing. He's gonna need thick skin.

I like those flurries

I was most impressed with Gavin after the cut. Before the cut i would say he was the most disappointing on the night.

LONG way to go for all of them. I'd bet on Darren Sutherland at the moment

Yeah that made me laugh. I thought welcome to the pros.

and it was obvious that Nelson would like him since his style was horrifically like that, backhand clip clip walk round the ring, yawnfest.

If you're going to mouth off either back it up or treat it as a joke. Start investing too much thought in that and any boo's are going to mess with your head.

I'd be interested to check in on them at fights 5 then 10 before delivering any sincere verdict.

If you didn't know better - DeGale could have come from the Ingles.

Exactly, from the post fight comments he actually seemed surprised by the crowd reaction?

I thought the comments about being a walk in the park and mouthing off in general was just a plan to get people to watch his shows i.e. playing the villain. How the hell did he come to the conclusion that such an attitudewould be endearing to the public?
