Is Eubank vs DeGale, one of the best examples of a boxer needing multiple knockdowns to get a draw?

every sport is corrupt. anyone claiming otherwise is fooling themselves.

 

he did win but he was so scrappy and unskilled he deserved a poor outcome even as a win. He won it purely on workrate, a sad way to win a fight.

 

117-109 was about right...

Not sure what these fouls and knockdowns were? Degale leaping up in the air to push his weight down on the opponent warranted the body slam for me but it was still a cynical foul.

2 knockdowns were scored, one of which he didn’t actually touch down but was held up by the ropes...Degale was hurt on other occasions and almost put down but you can’t score a knockdown for that.

Thought the other cards were too close but Howard foster pretty much always has a dodgy looking card...

The fight was scrappy, the first half of the fight there wasn’t that much in it. Eubank was a deserved and clear winner but it wasn’t a schooling...

Eubank didn’t really show anything new, Degale is a tricky customer though so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt for the scrappy performance...Degale looked shot to bits though...

 

Bowls ??

 

Take a ko out the equation and workrate is how fights are won, its landing more Herol, you not get that ?? It aint sad, its made more millionaires and HOF careers than anything you numpty

 

???

 

Bowls ???

 

Degale was allowed to get away with so much it was ridiculous. He made Andre Andre look like a clean and honest fighter.

Degale had no intention of fighting, he was only interested in pot shots, smothering and wrestling.

Eubank went right up in my estimation after he body slammed him down to the canvas, the only disappointment is that he didn't break his back in the process. He'd have cemented legendary status if he had picked him in air and dropped him on his head

So glad Degale has decided to retire so we dont have to witness anymore anti boxing and ugly fights

 

college football bowl games? smoking pot? eating cereal? other???

 

Andre Andre was such a little *****. He was way worse than either Andre Dirrell or Andre Ward.

 

Only those Canelo obsessives seem to believe otherwise for obvious reasons.
This is a good post and a good example of the corruption as folk wouldn’t necessarily think of this fight?one fight I use as an example and it still makes me boil thinking about it was Taylor v Postal,Postal was up in the fight and fighting out of skin and Taylor really had to pull it out to get the win and yet the scorecards make Postal out like some journey man getting a whooping,the way some of these guys are coming over to the U.K. and humbly taking these robberies makes me wonder if they’ve been told how it’s gonna go down.

Canelo v GGG is a good example of how it doesn’t matter what happens in that ring on the night,doesn’t even matter that as much as 90% believe one guy won.Its all about who you are,who you know and looking back in hindsight they were never gonna let someone on the cusp of a 380 million dollar deal lose that fight.
Someone on here the other week said his wife can score these fights and I’d add that my own mother can as well,scoring most fights is not difficult and in many cases women don’t complicate stuff like men do,point being,these awful scorecards are not down to being inept.

 

Lol you have a point,read yesterday that the world champion of Bridge(the card game) has been suspended for testing positive for PEDs lol.

 

you are comparing a game to a sport. very clever.

 

He was the worst imo.Hate it when folk compare his “inside game” to Duran’s inside game,one punched his way in and out of the clinch and the other just straight up wrestles.
