What's everyone reckon? Bookies can hardly separate them, Chunky 4/5 Dirrell evens. I fancy Chunky myself.
I think Degale on points, but it should be a ridiculously close fight. Some people are forgetting that Dirrell has some seriousl skills, caused Froch lots of problems, and boxed the ears off Abraham before taking over two years out. Degale seems in the zone, has momentum, and has been the more active fighter. That's why I think he'll shade it.
Degale will walk at 9:30pm. Venue isn't that big I don't think. Shouldn't be too hostile as the Dirrell brothers aren't well liked in America, and Boston isn't his home city.
Dirrell on points, and in 10,11,&12th are my bets, just through hope more than anything because I can't stand that mouthy B'astard
DeGale for me, on points. As Loko says, his activity should see him through what is still likely to be a tricky encounter. I'm looking forward to it.
I favour Dirrell on points but he's such a strange fighter so it's hard to know what you'll get. At his best there's only Ward that gets near him at 168, at his worst DeGale could bully the fight out of him. Hope DeGale can do it though
