    Anyone who thought jack won is an idiot

    Jack should have been docked at least 2 points for knocking degale's tooth out with a left hook after the bell

    Infact that jack bum should have been disqualified for that

    This was a hell of a lot closer than Ward Kovalev. I don't care for either of them so don't have a real reason to give a **** but Kovalev won that fight.

    No rematch then. Fair enough. Jacks in an unfortunate position of being too big for SM and a bit small for LH.

    The best time to get Jack is rd 1 or 2. He always starts real slow but picks up in rd 3-4. So I'm not surprised by the early kd.

    Davis was better than I expected and considering he's past form it was a big step up in performance fair play to him

    But it could have gone either way spunk c, as you have said before

    I actually had too many question marks on rounds on my scorecard to say who I had. I'll have to watch it again. I do think Degale can adjust and box better consistently in a rematch. Degale's speed and activity after Jack appeared to be taking over kept him in the fight and won a couple rounds even though he was then fighting Jack's fight. If they have to rematch at 175 then so be it. Maybe Degale can insist on 173 or whatever.

    Can't believe Jack would've lost the fight on the cards if he didn't score a knockdown in the last round.

    DeGale also should have been deducted a point for spitting the mouthpiece out.
