    4th was very close. Truax pressed but didn't land much. Then again, DeGale spend more time moving and less time throwing.

    To hell with it. 10-10 round for me.

    My thoughts too, Truax won the ring generalship, but I think DeGale landed the better punches.

    To be honest gents, Traux can't fight but the pressure is tremendous on De gale.

    3-2 Truax. Fight falling into a pattern. DeGale doesn't really look like he wants this any more. Hope he proves me wrong for the sake of the fight.

    I'm glad to hear Caleb has seized momentum and is about to prove it was no fluke and double-down on his star-making win, but no way am I sitting through any more of this ugly boring fight when I could be indulging my guilty pleasure Mayorga fanboyism.

    Degale looks beaten already to me, he can't even throw punches.

    Do they? I see them reverse all the time if you check the history. I'd like to see a statistical breakdown sometime. For two evenly matched guys who fight a series, you'll get decisions, split decisions, draws, and Ko's on both sides. Think Pacquiao vs Marquez.

    Truax wins the 1st half of the fifth with pressure and glancing contact. DeGale controls the next minute, but Truax closes strong to shade the frame.

    5th to Truax.
