    What I mean is DeGale got beaten up over the duration of the fight. While I can see an argument for Jack, Ward and Kovalev as victors, I just can't make a case for DeGale last night.

    I don't want to criticize your scorecard or anything, but how did you score the 5th and 7th for Jack? And what fight were watching?:lol:

    At least my scorecard allowed wiggle room for a draw.

    114-112 Jack
    However there were some razor edge rounds but to me Jack blocked the majority of the punches and landed the cleaner and HARDER shots.
    Poor Jack

    This was a great way to begin 2017's year of boxing!
    The whole card was great.
    The future of boxing totally belongs to Al Haymon and Floyd Mayweather Promotions.
    I can't wait to see how Top Rank, Matchroom, and K2 follow this high standard of boxing promotion.

    Jack could've hung around 168 for a rematch but he clearly didn't hanker for that industry again and opted to scurry up to 175 instead to grab a title of a shot Cleverly, then he ducked an 11 fight novice so he could cash out against Superman. Everyone enjoyed the first fight and would've loved to see them go at it again. But Jack's an intelligent guy and he knew that a 30% Degale sure as hell wasn't going to show up twice in a row.

    TMT has 1 champ

    There may be promotions in Thailand with more

    Top Rank Golden Boy Matchroom are LIGHTYEARS AHEAD Floyd and Al in terms of how to promote and create champions

    James Degale is a good talker but seldom delivers. This is the pros and looking great with sloppy flurries over 4 doesn't mean ****. This isn't the first and won't be the last time he's underwhelmed in a 'big' fight.

    Jack said he was moving up win or lose and did that. He owes Degale, the beneficiary of a dodgy draw that even Hearn thought he didn't deserve nothing at 168.

    I've just spoken to Serge on the blower and I think he might have been trolling when he wrote that post, well that's the impression I got if not.

    Jack is someone that I'm more than willing to admit I was wrong about..... Guy had a mountain to climb after the Edwards embarrassment - but he's done more than enough to redeem himself 10x and has surpassed the expectations that even his most ardent fans had for him. *tips hat*
