James DeGale "not fully pleased" with performance

British super middleweight James DeGale says that he got lazy in the second half of his dominant victory over Dyah Davis.

James DeGale has said that he is not fully satisfied with his unanimous decision victory over Dyah Davis at Bluewater in Kent.

The 27-year-old from Harlesden won comfortably with all three judges scoring the bout 118-110 in his favour, although he feels that he was guilty of slacking in the second half of the fight.

However, he took the positives from the fight that sees him retain his WBC Silver super middleweight title and takes his professional record to 17-1.

"I'm not fully pleased," DeGale told Channel 5 after the bout. "I was a bit lazy and switched off a couple of times... and got hit by a stupid shot [in the eighth round].

"It's another 12 rounds under my belt. I'm still learning. He's an awkward opponent."

The only defeat of his career came against George Groves two years ago.
