Badou Jack is the most disrespected boxer in boxing.

Jack cannot make 168 and fight 3 mins a round, not even close. He's going to be a much better fighter @175, will he be the real champ? Unlikely but he could eventually grab a title and a couple better , (maybe higher profile better term) fights.

He's good enough to compete at 175 expecially once we factor in the 2 supposed top lhw have massive flaws and proved they can be beaten by non elite fighters

 

He feels like he's cutting too much weight during training camp and that it drains him, it's to a point where the camp is more about the weight than the training.

 

I don't give a **** about Jack, DeGale, Mayweather or TMT. What exactly makes you think I would support TMT or only American fighters? That's an absurd generalization.

Jack won 8 rounds to 4. I'd be hard pressed giving DeGale another round, it was an easy fight to score.

 

Well, it is your opinion and I can respect that, however most people I actually respect here has it a close fight that can go either way. Me personally have it a draw.

 

I would of been ok with a draw if it wasn't for the kd in the last rd. Most of Degale's punches hit Jack's gloves, Degale was the busier fighter but Jack had more clean hits, close fight but Jack did enough to win.

 

And ?

There's no And !?

I made my point already .

 

Hes criminally underrated here that's for sure. I picked him to beat DeGale. He's a quality operator with good skills defense and pop. He was robbed against a roided Bute no doubt and I thought he beat DeGale to. Hopefully his luck will change now that he's going to 175.

 

I had Bute and Groves edging him personally.

He's just not a great fighter at this stage. He failed to establish himself in a wide open division against left overs from the previous era that Froch easily dispatched, that is never a good sign.

It would be like Mike Tyson fighting Berbick and Bonecrusher to disputed SD and draws.

 

Log off and never post again alt.

 

Badou was very underrated, and he's very good in most boxing skills but not exceptional in anything. Very solid. He's like the San Antonio Spurs, fundamentals and basics. Somebody like that is going to be disrespected because he's not flashy.

I still think the Degale fight was a draw and too many of those rounds were razor thin. I think he could've jabbed better but besides that I don't have an idea what he could've done, besides not getting dropped.

 

Fair enough, I don't have a horse in this race. It was close that a jack win with a couple of rounds is plausible.

 

Good post.

 

He got robbed against Bute for sure but...
Hometown decision?!? The fight wasn't even in Montreal!
