    Think he's alright but he lacks power badly (that stoppage was awful) and not sure he's skilled enough to compensate for it. Cant rule out him getting a world title given the amount of ****ty belts about but dont think he'll be anything special.

      He moves like his dad doesn't he?

      Too early to say really. He's being pushed to get the stats up isn't he.

        Unlike a suspect chin, can't the power issue be worked on? As he gets older he should get stronger? Has a lot to live up, that's a hell of a burden on his shoulders. Good luck to him.

          Yeah indeed. Used to love his dad's era, and he doesn't look short of confidence either.

            You'd hope so but even this early some of the bums that have escaped pretty much unbothered by him is pretty worrying, I'm not sure it can improve that much. It'll be interesting to see how he copes when he's stepped up.

              De Gale does look good sometimes, doesn't he?

                I haven't seen him since he went pro. Quick hands but his hands are way too low, against world class he'd get taken out. Likes the ropes too.

                  That was a cracking uppercut to take Zuniga down

                      DeGale was out-thought by George Groves for the British title. It was very close. He reckons he's learned since then, but he's gotten cocky as **** as this fight has progressed.

                        I'd love Zuniga to snatch his chin here.

                          Groves is one thing, Ward, Froch, Kessler, Dirrell etc etc - just can't see Degale beating these guys.

                            I agree, the point I was making was he was beaten by someone as limited as Groves. Groves is never going to be a world class fighter.

                                Good timing, here comes Kessler.
