    How come there isn't an option for "Yes DeGale clearly won"

    Clean effective blows is the most important scoring criteria imo. Based on that it's plain to see Jack should have won. Most of Degales punches landed on Jacks gloves.

    I had Jack by 1 point. He really surprised me today. They should do the rematch

    Ya no rematch until jack admits he lost and the press admit degale won.

    Then degale will give him a rematch in england with 3 English judges and jack will earn 50k and degale 8 million

    Only fair

    Jack blocked most of what came at him

    Connected far more and busted James up bad

    Clear win for Jack

    Nearly KOing the referee must have swung for Chunky

    The word "Robbery" is a problem for me.

    I don't have a problem with "I thought that was a poor/bad decision" but "Robbery" implies corruption or doesn't describe a fight that was close.

    The word "Robbery" gets thrown around far to easily and actually dilutes the word of power for when there really is a disgusting decision because every close fight or a fight that divides opinion is now a "Robbery".

    That's sounds like you are describing ward vs kovalev which we all know ' could have gone either way' just like this fight

    Na degale had him outworked out after the 1st knockdown, also degale having a small abrasion on his cheek coming off jacks head, shouldnt be discussed.

    I think the poll is going to get dominated by the British posters on this forum.
