    That's not what I was saying. He should of been making the case for his guy getting the nod like Floyd did, especially considering the only judge that didn't have it level scored it in his favour.

    He bottled it in there and really let his fighter down IMO.

    Jack belongs in the weaker 168 division. Like Golovkin belongs at 160.

    The fights been debated countless times by people on both sides of the fence. I see and appreciate both points of view, for me a robbery is like Lara V Williams.

    I thought they were gonna pull Williams out of the fight he was taking that many cleans shots. Couldn't believe it when they gave that to him.

    Ward V Kovalev, like this here, I felt content it was close enough to go either man.

    Anyone who scored the Kovalev fight for Ward who complains can take a running jump.

    One day I want Floyd to pull that kind of nonsense with the Fury family, it would be pure Gold.

    DeGale was the away fighter, if this was in the U.K. I might have to take a step back and look at it again and think "was DeGale given a home town decision"

    Jack was a Mayweather fighter in the US, there were lots of close rounds, a KD each and both entertained us all.

    First of what a great fight from two warriors,2017 off to a great start.
    I though too many of Degales shots were only finding the gloves of Jack esp in those middle rounds but we often see Degale lose in the middle,with that final knock down I had Jack up by a point but a draw wasn't a disgrace by any means?

    Judges should be given eye examines before allowed to judge fights.
    Imagine three Harold Lederman's judging fights. I'd protest!

    See I saw it opposite, Jack looked good marching forward but DeGale was the one who adjusted to change momentum of the fight by standing his ground and trading up close.

    Back even again
    DeGale 1,2,5,9,10,11
    Jack 3,4,6,7,8,12

    But aside from rounds 1,8&12 the rest were all swing rounds for me.

    I feel like only Ward fans really say it could have gone either way to try and justify it.

    For me if a fight is won by at least two rounds in a clear manner if you give the other guys as much credit as you possibly could then the result being wrong is a robbery.

    Yeas, the flashier, more eye-catching punches were landed by DeGale, but by far, the more telling punches were landed by Jack.

    Jack was never hurt, not even at the KD.

    DeGale was hurt several times.

    Yeah I know what you mean, I don't think he wanted to involved in any of it, I think he wants to whip DeGale back to the UK to make Matchroom money, I don't think he gives a toss about DeGale to be honest.
