    He looks like what I imagine the banjo playing redneck kid from Deliverance grew into

    Looks like he has the David Haye issue after shoulder surgery, not able to throw straight punches.

    A slow, constantly gassed out, busted up DeGale would never cope with the fitness of Eubank over 12 rounds. Eubank would land a million shots on him.

    Yeah fair play to truax. Came over as a warm-up fight for degale and fought his heart out.

    I don't see where Degale goes. No straight punches, no jab. Can't stop pressure fighters without them skills

    Right msn win in my opinion, think Frank and Josh Warrington summed it up well. Eubank and Callum Smith would destroy DeGale. DeGale couldn't throw straight rights and his usual sitting on the ropes, shocking. His face looked like it had been runover at the end.

    Absolutely mate. He’s done. He can’t throw that right hand jab properly and his speed and timing was woeful. His corner should have told him after round 5 to switch to orthodox and throw the left hand jab instead.

    I felt really sorry for him in that post fight interview. He was seriously bashed up and emotionally crushed. Credit to Truax who earned that victory. I stand by what I posted earlier, the likes of Fielding, Ryder, Murray etc beat him...but a massive well done to him. Fantastic achievement.

    Fwank is an absolute prize muppet for not getting Truax to have a rematch clause in the event of winning

    Truax could now play hard ball (and I think he will), and duck a rematch

    That would leave DG up a creek without a paddle and needing to be a challenger for a belt again, and there are no easy belts out there for him.
