    It's 4-1 to Sutherland so far, but Degale is looking brilliant

    Thank you, and good night

      Hey great thread! haha

      Yeah you were right about that GreatJoe.

      I am very dissapointed for Sutherland, got myself up at 7am to see it. He's a good guy, I go to the same college as him and the college threw a big going away party for the couple of Olympians they were sending away.

      Hopefully Egan pulls through.

            Three of them, lol. Other two were in steeple chasing and sailing.

            Sutherland was doing a degree in sports science I think he's only in his third year now if he goes back in September. But if he goes Pro, I dunno if he'll finish the course.

                  The Jefferies - Egan fight went just as I thought it would. Egan is the far superior boxer between the two and he really turned on the style today to get the comfortable win.

                  I wish Kenny luck in that fight. Sadly he'll need to KO the Chinese boxer just to take it to countback. The Chinese boxers get points for hitting fresh air.

                    Well done to Egan and DeGale, hopefully both can get a gold.

                      Jeffries looks very ordinary doesn't he.

                      Egan really will beat the crap out of the chinese guy whether he gets the decision or not is another thing, the chinese guy was soooo sloppy and had the worst balance. Egan could knock him down.
