Degale vs Truax rematch 7th April

5/1 is massive considering he beat him pretty soundly last time..cant belive DeGale is 1/5 crazy, would have to have balls of steel to put down money on him judging by last time.

I like DeGale, met him a few times and he is a sound bloke. Really hope he wins but i will definitely be sticking some money on Truax.

 

Even if degale wins, where does he go. Groves won't give him 50/50 (if he wins WSB tournament). Smith same.

That loss to Traux (unless he wins very well in rematch) has taken serious value of James.

Obviously Ramirez, David B and Zuegue (albeit WBA reg) have titles non of them are money fights though.

Eubank Jr if he can get IBO again? Probs be his best option but will people buy in to JR or JDG?

 

In the words of Ray winstone...I'll be 'avin a bang on at'

 

I agree 100% with this, I don’t think suddenly he will be this brand new degale but he will be more hungry and motivated and know what to expect from truax and hopefully his shoulder will be bit better so he can work off the jab more.

He clearly underestimated Caleb I mean James switch’s off and gets lazy even in big fights so imagine what his mentality was like leading up to the first fight and the shock he was in once he realised he was in a dog fight.

 

I'd also say he had next to no respect for Truax going in and it bit him on the arse. You'd hope he'd be a lot better prepared this time out but it is DeFail we're talking about so he might well find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

 

Degale v Saunders at the Emirates, great briddish world tidal fide

 

Degale couldn’t sell out the copper box with another world title fight on it. Saunders - great fighter but couldn’t sell out the o2 which is a quarter of the size of the Emirates.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Frank did actually try and put this together but there’s no chance it does over 25k tickets. Warrington Selby they’re tapping in to the Leeds fan base in a major way. Arsenal fans just aren’t the same.

 

The problem for me was all De Gales in the first fight. With his style, he should have been taking Truax to school.
Truax is game but he's a basic come forward fighter that De Gale will have seen before. If he can't jab at all and his shoulder really isn't healed properly its game over and he loses again. If he's fully fit he wins a UD a clear one at that otherwise it will be a repeat of the first fight where Truax can walk him down and unload when he wants.

 

Best I can find on oddschecker is 9/2 just now or you can get 4/1 draw no bet. I like those and I'll be having some money on Truax. I do want JDG to win tho, he strikes me as a fighter who hasn't achieved his potential but I don't think he will now.
