Maybe Degale is overrated and Jack is underrated

    Its not about discipline.

    Its about Stamina.

    Low stamina equals bad focus. Its common knowledge.

    For me Degale is overrated from the Dirrell fight. Degale of that fight would have beaten Jack, but he has gone steadily down hill and is fighting at the level of when he fought Medina.

    Jack has improved, but really no better than his fight with Bute.

    Degale style will always make jugdes & spectators think a fight where he takes a lowkey beating was close or he won

    Because of them shoe shiner slappy ass survival punches in the mid to late rounds

    The rematch would look the same

    If i was jack i would not fight him next maybe a couple of years from now

    Degale was in the best shape athestically and yet he faded. Jack is very difficult man to beat if you haven't got stamina he conserves energy well, his the best 168lber on the planet, who would have thought we would have said that after his first stoppage to Edwards.

    I thought Degale was exposed again in this fight. He's a bit of a show pony, looks flashy but gases badly and lacks power. His defence was poor tonight, Jack couldnt miss with those short choppy punches in the clinches, Degale was just hanging his head out to be caught.
    Hes a decent, but not top level fighter. The C Smith fight will be very interesting

    He was losing his discipline in the first four rounds. Stamina wasn't a factor as he was able to match Badou's intensity throughout the fight until the very last round.

    So don't try and patronise me with the common knowledge bs.

    Dirrell is a very flawed fighter...

    Degale was a bad matchup for him...

    You have to be smart, aggressive, tight & discipline...

    Jacks defense & short shots, he definitely looked way better than he did vs bute...

    Especially with a style like degales where if your not careful & paying attention he can land something crazy...

    Im pretty sure both fighters was in way better shape than their last fights especially degale

    Both fights were stepping stone opponents...
