    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.

    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

    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.

    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?

    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.

    Watching it again i realised why the crowd turned on DeGale.. it was like going from watching Hatton (Gavin) to Witter. Without a serious dig he's in trouble.. and he needs to bin the Naz tapes.

    BJS looked a real confident natural (i didn't see his first round last night).. although his punchbag seemed the worst of the three.

    James DeGale is a fukking twat. Next Junior Witter IMO.

    BJS looked the best out of them, though I didnt like him dropping his hands. Gavin was decent as well, he's gonna go far.
