    Default James DeGale-Andre Dirrell --- SKY/NBC. Fact.

    This is an afternoon show in the states which means primetime for the UK. (high five)

    Bookies can't split them (10/11 the pair). Both quick and slick southpaw/switchers with Dirrell looking a little quicker/sharper and DeGale having more tricks up his sleeve.

    Big Al paid $3m for this. Home advantage could play a massive factor - if the fight was in England i'd quite strongly fancy chunky. They both have decent power but it's likely to go the distance. Being the away fighter DeGale will have to force it. There's a chance Dirrell bottles it.

    Jimmy Mac was Danny Williams trainer when he bashed up Tyson. (just a bit of useless info to end with)

    Degale on points for me. Hope that muppit Groves wins the WBC title and they unify and Degale shuts his mouth. I never use to like Degale, but hes grown on me with his performances in the ring and not being a dick out of the ring.

    If DeGale and Groves both win and they unify the silly titles it will be massive.

    I'd pick DeGale to wipe the floor with him this time (might think different if he gets wiped the floor with saturday though)

    Groves also has to go to the States for his shot at Jack. If they both win you can see them having a defence or two and building up to a next summer showdown at Wembley.

    I disagree. I think Groves is walking a tight rope at the moment because of his chin and having the wrong trainer in his corner. He's also lacking any big wins on his resume. I'd suggest that if Eddie can convince Sky to put the money up, this will be box office and Groves 1st defence, Degale's 2nd maybe, providing they both win.

    A wembley date would have to be in the summer though wouldnt it? Doubt they would have a outdoor event in the winter and both men would get in defences waiting for a summer showdown.

    If Degale wins then it is really up there with Honeyghan beating Curry, not higher but up there.

    It's a really good match up, looking forward to it. Think DeGale is beast and dangerous for anyone at 168, but not sure how he deals with Dirrell.

    I have this impression that when 2 southpaws square off, it's usually the faster/cagier/guy who fights better goingbackwards that wins. Dirrell is a bit of a question mark mentally, but he's very hard to get to and has a punch himself.

    Having seen Degale lately and seeing how protected Andre has been lately, I've gotta think James is gunna go and win it. Degale has looked like a guy that isn't messing about anymore, so I think he'll go and do a job.

    He has a chance to make British Sporting history so good luck to him. Even if he does look a bit like Red Rum.

    DeGale has came on massively over the past few years, he wasted too much time on Channel 5 which held him back quite a bit if you ask me, I'd like to see him do it, I never used to have much time at all for him but I've changed my opinion on him now.
