On his last warning
My money is on DeGale.
Should be a good fight. A real 50/50.

America faces its most dangerous enemy: itself insert 'murica etc.Always tricky to beat an American in America.

As mentioned a genuine 50/50 fight but I edge towards De Gale even in America.
I question Dirrell's desire as he should have had more belief against Froch and he would have won, that being said I still think Frich was the beneficiary of a home town decision in that one.
Then against Abraham he seemed to take the easy way out for a DQ victory and since then has barely fought more than once a year.
Hopefully the fight isn't too cagey as Dirrell tends to fight of the back foot so De Gale will need to force the pace.
Nice to be able to watch at a decent hour instead of 4/5am but still disgusted that next weeks card is PPV with a main event of Brook vs Gavin bullshit.
I am going next week but if you are a boxing fan you are paying PPV for the whole card rather than the main event: 3x world title fights,1x commonwealth title fight, really good British title fight between 2 domestic rivals and Anthony Joshua in his first test against Kevin Johnson. For a full card that takes some beating.
It's a cracking card but I can't help but feel ripped off by Sky and Matchroom. I pay a large monthly fee for a sports package plus £12 per month for Box Nation. I can understand Mayweather vs Pacquiao or Groves vs Froch 2 as they captured the imagination and were big fights. Outside of hardcore boxing fans there are no household names on the card and this does not warrant PPV in my opinion.
Matchroom seem to be positioning themselves for more PPV when they should be looking at the quality of their cards. The Birmingham show was a joke. A £1 bet on the 8 winners of the fights would have netted you just over a fiver a sign of the one sides mismatches. This show is different but it should be on Sky Sports not box office.
It's better than Cleverly vs Bellew where I complained to sky and got a significant reduction in my bill for 3 months, I'll be doing the same next week as I saved myself almost £60 last time.
Enjoy the O2 next week it's a cracking venue for boxing (not music) hopefully Mitchell & Selby do the business.
Hope Degale wins, this will be a tough fight for him.
Hope Degale wins so George Groves can SMASH him up again
Degale is throwing this away
