Impressed with DeGale, he showed he could handle Bute's hard shots and just fought back harder rather than panic & wilt. Still a little too much running, rather see him set up more attacks than take so much time off during rounds.
DeGale/Golovkin could be a super fight in a few years.
I think this fight could have easily gone the other way there wasn't much in it a round or two tops personally had Bute up by one 115-114
Too much backing off and letting Bute tea off - crowd clearly made it apparent that the scorecards were absolutely rubbish.
I could see 9 DeGale rounds, Bute was competitive in a lot of rounds but I could see how DeGale just did that little bit more. Closer fight than that score would indicate but that is how boxing scoring can go.
I agree. Lots of close fight talk, and the rounds were certainly very competitive, but DeGale was clearly winning the majority of them. I think 9-3 or 8-4 DeGale sounds right. Any closer is giving Bute too much credit and DeGale not enough.
