Caleb Truax looked great busting up Degale. What happened to Chunky?

    He's too busy in Marbella/Ibiza with his idiotic mates to train properly. Doesn't take boxing seriously imo, far more interested in the social side of his life.

    Eubank jr "beat" the top middleweights "left and right"? really, damm i must have missed something? he has already beaten Ramirez, groves, callum Smith, both the dirrell Brothers?
    cause i thought all he beat was a 40 year old Arthur Abraham (in his farewell fight) and some turkish doner Kebab salesman who´s Name i´ve forgot.

    I wanna see Caleb Truax vs Caleb Plant next. First ever world title match up between a pair of Caleb's. It can happen too - Plant is ranked #7 by the IBF.

    Agree with most of this.
    GGG & Jacobs would easily be champions at 168.
    Top Rank should of put Zurdo in the WBSS tournament he would of won it IMO and top rank could of had another unified champion.

    Caleb Plant IMO is an underrated under the radar fighter, I expect he would beat Truax easily if they were to fight

    Told you this one might come to fruition. Caleb is calling out Caleb.

    Traux must be the least celebrated boxing champion, since Martin.

    Is there a possibility that Traux trained especially hard for this fight, knowing it might be his last chance?

    It worked for Busted Douglas vs Undefeated Tyson

    Probably, if Truax can molest DeGale as badly as he did, Lemieux would push his **** so far in it would come out of his mouth.

    Turax later posted a picture of his family on social media. He works hard for them and he likely gave it his all.

    Me too last time I saw Truax he was outclassed(bar a KD)at MW against a shot Jermaine Taylor. Either he has improved greatly or DeGale had a off night. Couldn't believe what I saw.

    I think it owed to a combination of rust due to the surgery layoff (also possibly the effects of the injury/surgery itself) and taking Truax lightly. DeGale also appeared to be coasting in a number of rounds, assuming that he'd be favored at home, which is obviously his own fault - he didn't seem to grasp any purpose until the 12th, after Warren had literally urged him to go out and win it from ringside. All that said, I scored the fight 114-114, but it was close and he can't just expect home advantage to save him the bother of the effort it takes to win a fight clearly.

    I expect him to win a rematch, assuming he takes it.
