Bill "Two Scoops" Emes catches up with Eddie Hearn, promoter of James DeGale (21-1, 14 KOs), to discuss the win over Andre Dirrell (24-2, 16 KOs) on Saturday afternoon on Premier Boxing Champions on NBC from Agganis Arena in Boston to earn the super middleweight world title.
Degale had Dirrell in trouble early knocking him down twice in the second round to open up a lead on the scorecards. Dirrell fought back strongly throughout the rest of the fight by using his jab and a series of combinations to occasionally stun DeGale, but was unable to make up the gap on the scorecards. The judges' scores were 114-112 twice and 117-109.
