Eric,

I think the last three pages have proved that there are plenty of people who thought Degale fought well and performed on the night to dominate against Smith. There were doubts about how talented Smith was, edging Quigley (depending on opinion) and labouring against Dodson, he was going to be made for Degale to look good against, which he did.

Doesn't stop him coming across as a bit of an arsehole, and there's nothing like arrogance to make people root against a fighter.
