DeGale cruises to victory

James DeGale made light work of brave Sam Horton to win the lightly-regarded WBA international super-middleweight title.

The Olympic gold medalist was competing in his first 12-rounder but Horton was counted out in the fifth and had taken a battering throughout.

Horton was dropped by a long left hook in the second and then a right uppercut - DeGale's most telling punch - left hook, right hook combination finished him off four rounds later.
