Degale got a gift against Wilczewski remember!

people forget abut this... but he won a Majority decision against him.. But he was very lucky and unimpressive that night it should have been another loss, Wilczewski bossed him.

I personally think Degale is getting overhyped right now, can't see him lasting too long as champ..

 

That was in 2011, he's improved massively since then.

 

Stop trolling.

 

It's the truth. Degale gt a gift against a Euro level fighter, lost to Groves and apart from his close win against a faded Dirrell.. he's beat nobody... yet some people are overrating him massively saying hes gonna rule the super middleweight division lol I don't think so :hi:

 

Didn't DeGale struggle with injury around that time ? Gilmores Groin I think it was ? Looks a different fighter ,much more mobile and a hurtful puncher now

 

Winning a close fight is not getting a gift you absolute spastic

 

Yes, it was Gilmore' groin, which affected his movement a lot, prevented him from moving as he'd like and turning, ducking, getting power and leverage into his punches.

 

Lol you are so quick to go verbal.. you have anger issues Terrance..you areone very unhappy person.. its just a boxing forum my friend.

Degale aint much and time will prove me correct.

 

A close fight does not equal a robbery. It could have gone either way.

 

Degale was coming off a loss, and I often dont think some fighters recover from a loss straight away and have to get their confidence back. That doesnt apply to all, but I think some.
I recall Degale looking hurt, and having a tough fight and think I scored it a draw, though cant recall for sure now, but seem to also think that if I had to have an overall feel to the fight that I would have said for Degale.

It was for the European title and I thought they had brought in a rule about a fighter not contesting that title if coming straight off a loss

 

It was a very poor performance from Degale - and I'm not a fan - but to use this to try and discredit it him as a fighter now is fairly silly.

He was coming off a tough loss he never envisaged taking from somebody he hated, was carrying an injury and suffering mentally. He then wet onto be terribly represented and suffered motivation problems if I remember correctly, having a series of **** fights in **** venues before coming back in to the fold properly.

He's a very different fighter to what he was then but not as good as some would have you believe. Ward would destroy him and I feel a less rusty Dirrell would have beaten him fairly soundly. I wouldn't be surprised if Bute beat him. At least he's getting good money for taki that fight.

 

Wilk lost, close but clear. I had it 115-113 Chunky.

 

Same scorecard I had and if im not mistaken wasnt Degale suffering from a shoulder injury? since he recovered from that his powers really come through in stopping both Periban and Gonzales and dropping Dirrell twice . . . .

That being said Degale has the tendency of getting far too complacent in fights which is his biggest flaw, he could have dominated/stopped Dirrell but got lazy and let Dirrell back into the fight. Dont agree with him fighting Bute at all (at this point its like fighting a walking corpse) but money talks i suppose

 

Yes, well-documented.

I never understood how Jean Pascal could get a free pass for a sub-par performance (but still a clear victory) over a mediocre (relatively speaking, when viewed through a 'world-class' prism) fighter in Kuziemski, but DeGale cops flack essentially for the same exact situation with no lesser a fighter in Wilk.

 

Wilczewski vs. Kuziemski actually would've been a great little all-Pole tear-up. :think

Hell, could still be, they're both about the same age.
