    Degale looking light and dry at the scales, but he could get Jack out of there early.

    If Jack hasn't been dropped by the fifth, i'm guessing him or the judges will have him winning 7 or 8 rounds by the finish.

    Chunky can box, but his attitude and stamina have been questionable up to this point. Bute and Dirrell both rattled him in the later rounds.

    Really hope Degale comes of age tonight and dominates Jack in a punch perfect performance. No taking rounds off, no admiring his work, just go in there and box the huys head off.

    Wouldnt suprise me if he lost a close decision. Anything close will go to Jack imo have a feeling Degale needs to get the KO or win very wide

    Wouldn't argue with this, draw makes everybody more money and nobody lose's face.

    Really surprised at the low purses here. Dan Rafael tweeted them. $750k Chunky, $700k Jack.

    Im not surprised at all. If it isnt PPV in america its always around this mark. Hearn would of doubled this if it was in uk.

    By the way this is about what Frampton will earn against Santa Cruz as well.

    That's a shame for FOTY contender but more reasonable since lighter weights are less attractive to casual fans. Both these boys need to come home next fight.

    Yep, I think DeGale will underwhelm sadly and Jack will nick it on points.

    Yes I agree. Quite surprised they did not push for the Santa Cruz rematch to be in Ireland.

    Edging towards DeGale but Jack decision at 9/2 was too good to pass up.

    Those are good purses.

    Don't forget this isn't a PPV fight and both are getting a 50/50 split almost. Usually when you see a fighter get 1mill+ in a non-ppv fights it's because the opponent is getting like 60k.

    Agreed. There not bad purses at all. But when the option to earn more elsewhere is available and its the best and second best Super middleweights fighting in a unification it gives a different perspective...

    Great fight this. Jack edging it for me. Degale more eye catching Jack more hardworking.
