    I think he's ok but for some reason that I don't quite understand he reminds me of Michael Barrymore every time I see him. I think it's the same long thin face. But I always think he's a secret homosexual who will come out in about 10 years time after his career is done.

    Weird I know but that's how my mind tends to work..

    Anyone else see it? Change them both to the same skin colour and age and they are the same man.

    so so wrong

    De gale looked shit hot and i take nothing away from him as he dismantled a live opponent who was more than willing to trade.

    Clever lad as well when you consider there was a good 15,000fans jeering him up until he got into the ring and displayed the hammers sign which naturally won us all over

    Degale-Groves PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
    one dangerous horrible bloke

    I think he looked great and his hand speed is looking amazing some of those combo's! I think he could do Groves!

    For some reason I'd quite like to see him get beat. Just don't like him much.

    His punch delivery is horrible ,he slaps and chops and smothers his own work , hmmmmmmmm maybe he should relocate to south Wales and join Enzo Calzaghe, he will be comended for his work.,

    I think he looked goodish, about what I expected. He is better but he was clearly experimenting. I only noticed his slapping style for the first time on saturday though. Can't understand why a fighter would rather hit with the inside of his hand rather than with the knuckles, but it worked for Calzaghe so can't really complain too much at his career!!

    Not sure about who would win in him and Groves now they are Pro's, i'm leaning for Groves but it will be a few years before they meet and either could improve a lot more than the other in that time.
