    Degale is fighting only in spurts since roud 4/5. Clearly tired in there.

    Round 10

    Dirrell shoeshines behind the jab, playing tentative patty-cake with DeGale on the outside but coming forward and consistently first to follow up with a left or start pumping in straights. DeGale is shying away, blocking, tiptoeing around, holding now and then, occasionally showing brief signs of life with single right hooks but always clinching afterward or at most following with a high left hand as Dirrell pulls straight back to dodge. DeGale is sat on the middle rope with Dirrell pumping a long volley of straights at him, mostly hitting guard, some on the hairline.

    10-9 Dirrell

    95-93 DeGale

    Degales lead now 1 point on my card.

    Dirrell will win this on points, and may even force thstoppage if the momentum keeps going his way.

    Froch agrees.

    "Degale is resting on his laurels."

    He's frustrated with Degale's tactics and lack of work rate in the later rounds.. basically saying that he's throwing it away and not putting in the proper effort.

    Degale's trainer is known for whipping his boys into tremendous condition. Bizarre.

    Degale is looking like a few rounds to get koed.

    Boxing is about conditioning as much as anything else!

    6-4 +2 KD's DeGale

    Closer round but DeGale is not doing enough. It's starting to get frustrated. I don't know why DeGale is fighting like this.

    WTF are you talking about? What in what you quoted suggests me saying anything contrary to it being close? :huh

    I have it a draw in rounds, with DeGale only still up because of the extra margin in his 10-7 round.

    So again, wtf are you talking about? Your response literally makes no sense in the context of what you quoted.

    Zero.

    You're not usually stupid, don't start now.

    It's been dumb as.

    Dumb as.

    Dirrell is the better boxer and has more heart, who'd have thought. :patsch:nut

    Dirrell, put this fight away please.
