Smith v Degale

[0james0]

DeGale stops him in my eyes. I can't see it even making it halfway.

Smith hasn't looked convincing against Dodson or Quigley in his British title fights, and I think this is the one where the new blood takes the title from him, and I'm fancying Degale to give him a bit of a lesson. Warren isn't a chance taker with his hot prospects, and the whole team must be sure Degale is ready before they'd have made the fight. I'm pretty much in agreement that Degale grows into the fight after a fairly cautious start, finishing it mid to late.

i can see why people are strongly siding with degale, smith has failed to really live up to expectations at pro

thing is tho, he's not gonna get KOed early, he's gonna last at least 8 and degale hasnt yet taken a punch as a pro and smith will definately land one or two of those

for all i know degale might have a solid chin, but going 12 rounds for the first time at such an early time in your career against a such a tough man is gonna be very difficult and by round 8 i think the pace might start to take its toll

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Degale seems fairly hittable and Smith represents a fairly steep step-up in class so I'm assuming that Degale is gonna taste a fair bit of leather either way.

[No Contest]

DeGale hasn't fought anyone by the looks of his record, can he take a shot? He thinks he's Naz or what? He's like Ali G or some shit? He seems like a clowner, probably gonna get sparked.

It's a great fight and a shit fight. I like paul smith and would like to see him win but if he does it destroys a british prospect. Should be an interesting match.
