Yeah spot on. That 117-110 was crazy. Bare in mind Degale had a deduction too so they scored it even wider!
i think Truax was a bit too heavy...he wins last round and keeps belt DaGale going life and death with him in 2 fights either proves he is finished or just a bogie man
Hope Degale has a plan to get out of the game ASAP. He won but he is done as a top world level fighter
He’s finished. He looks good, moves well but he’s got no jab whatsoever. No engine. Did Truax lose that fight or did Degale win it? I’d say the former. It was a poor performance from James and he gets KO’d by Smith or Groves. TKO’d by Eubank.
De Gale retires or he sells his belt for money and goes out on a loss. Either way he only has 1 fight left in him and its a loss.
2 men spend 36 minutes hugging each other. The occasional bump in head caused a bloody mess. One man was simply better at hugging than the other.
Well I went with DeGale decision, I wasn't confident this week and I was right not to be, he seriously struggled. I wouldn't have argued if the decision went the other way by a point, it was one of those types of fights. The 117 card was boardering on criminal, that was absolutely shocking. In the words of Naz.. I think DeGale should finish. Yes I know he just regained his title but he was bang average again, he looks like a man who is just tired and had that edge beaten out of him, he looks blunt. He looks like a stoppage waiting to happen in my opinion, he is taking so many shots these days too, he sounds a little punchy as it is, I dont want to see him hurt or mumbling like Mayweather Sr in a few years. What next? Groves would stop him in my opinion so I don't think that is a good idea, Eubank Jr would just outwork him and decision him, actually I wouldn't ruled out a stoppage in that either. So what else can he do? Just take one of those fights for a pension payday and live with the defeat? maybe a bad defeat too. I know he won't quit, maybe I'm out of order suggesting it after he regained his title but let's be honest he is delusional if he believes he is the main man at 168 but I hope somebody close to him just suggests going out as a world champion.
I know it was a bad fight, but you’d think there would be a bit of media reporting for a Brit winning a world title. AJ only has to fart for 24 hour rolling coverage.
