whilst degale won a gold medal at the olympics his boxing style is ugly to watch and most of those arent even proper punches!He's literally slapping and swinging like some pissed up old drunk!Id love to see him against korobov one day as he'd get the shock of his life!I also think groves would knock him out if they ever met in the pro ranks.
@GangstaOuttaRussia He didn't score any points during clinch..the points was being delayed a few seconds, its obvious James could have scored more than 20 pts in this fight.
I don't see Degale do much if anything on the proffesional scene. He fights like a amateur... I think he should stay as an amateur for a few more years. Olympic Gold is a long long long way away from a world title fight. He will get a shock when put in the ring with someone trying to hurt him, instead of pick up points.
Actually he is right. Plus a lot of other boxers (eg. Haye, calzaghe, hatton) said his style isnt rele suited for the pros.
You have to understand amatuer boxing has totally changed now, the new scoring system is crap. Yet Degales style is suited for it.
He throws punches with very little power, not turning into them to increase speed but they are not powerful. Pro boxing is completely different now, unlike wen an amatuer career meant something,now it doesnt always help (eg audley Harrison
I dont like the english style keeping the leading hand out ive seen alot of boxers get caught so much becuase there coaches have told them to do that so i hope james degale can change to a more pro fitting style
yeaaaah... unfortunately i'll bet the british media start hyping him up, like they do with all british fighters, if he starts doing good in pros. I bet that's why hatton keeps doing that getting fat thing, cuz he thinks he's too good to have to be more serious
Hatton does his "getting fat thing" because he likes to out to the pub with his mates and drink, and he likes his food a lot, I say good on him, if he can put all that weight on and lose it and perform at the highest level like he does, then why not do it?
Khan is much better than Degale khan is younger and has already notched up 20 fights khan speed and power is unbelievable but his chin is A big let down till degale hasn't been tested at all yeah he won gold but khan won silver at 17
he has a fencing guard and is a good size for the weight with reach and speed. I would like to see Enzo coach this guy as a pro. He is not too dissimilar to Joe Calzaghe and could be shaped in that mould. I think that style will really really suit him.
on winning olympic gold. Of course the real test lies ahead if he wants to turn pro if so he is a real contender for future I can definatly see in being Commonwealth/European champion at least.
I think degale won that, Am box favours the longer boxers. Thats why alot of the punches the russian threw were not counted. It is different watching it on camera angle.
We have to remember that the judges to score the punch at the same time.

2.He fights like an amatuer because he was a amatuer in this fight
3.he isnt going to jump straight to a world title he is going to build up
4.you have no knowledge of boxing dont even bother replying back.
