Andre Dirrell vs. James DeGale RBR

Round 2

Dirrell is flicking long right jabs into DeGale's gloves. Dirrell finds a home for the left and lands it a couple of times, sending DeGale into a crouching and covered retreat. Dirrell is laying siege behind the flicked backhanded southpaw jab, setting up the heavy left. DeGale grabs Dirrell and counters with a short uppercut, pulling Dirrell into the punch and then circling away. DeGale yields when ordered by the ref and scampers outside. Cautious reach-in lefts by DeGale. Dirrell keeps the jab on him. Dirrell is FLATTENED BY A COUNTER LEFT!! 15 seconds left. DeGale swings BIG with another overhand left. Dirrell is down again! DeGale rushes in, hammering with more lefts, fist kissing the ceiling on its way to Dirrell's chin, making only glancing contact as Dirrell puts both arms in the way and leans back into the ropes. Dirrell tries grabbing and falls to his knees in the attempt - not a knockdown. Saved by the bell.

10-7 DeGale

20-16 DeGale
