Ringside - James DeGale

[porkypara]

Spoke to sombody who spent most of last week with him and he said he was a nice guy when the cameras where not about.

He gets people talking about him and his fights so he is doing his job well and is good for boxing in that respect.

But yes I do agree he comes across as a total prick on tv.

What makes it worse is its so blatantly obvious he doesnt have a shred of convition in what hes saying or the tone of his voice. He sounds nervous and trying to talk shit to hide it.

In that ringside eposode where him and Groves are sat side by side he offered a bet which Groves imediately stands up and offers his hand for and then DeGale backs out. It was embarrasing and made me cringe. He isnt very confident for this opponent at least.
