Cant wait to hear dwyer's take on this lol

[Crazylegs77]

So was Degale gassed or was he deliberately staying on the back foot?

Thought it was called masterful boxing?
Ah its Degale yeah he was gassed....

I didn't score the fight, but it was nice to see a British fighter win on American soil. Cong**** to DeGale.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO SEE A DRAW LOL...i'd take that fight again why not..that was an exciting high level power punching chess match

The replays were clear as day. Dirrell would throw 6 or 7 shots and maybe 1 would partially get through.

DeGale needed to make him pay though.

But he didn't . Andre had him figured out after the knockout. Showboating in his face. But he should not have let the last rounds go and let de gale jump around like he was doing something.

In a few months only, Haymon spinned off 3 of his "PBC champs": Quillin, Chavez Jr, Dirrell.

I had DeGale winning the last 2 rounds to seal it.

Dirrell dominated rounds 6-10, and evened it up, but DeGale closed better.

That's how I saw it too. It was as if Dirrell thought he had it won and let DeGale off the hook in 11 and 12.

Good observation.

In the round-by-round thread there was actually a couple of guys saying that Degale was going to be the victim of a "Haymon decision" on the scorecards. I was thinking to myself WTF are they talking about? One thing about the PBC is that the judging has been fair with several Haymon guys taking losses even when the fights are close.

People just hate the guy irrationally.

That's true, although the Peterson-Garcia judging was a terrible outcome, though both guys were Haymon fighters.

if anything al jobbed his own with 117 lmao

thats all it takes when u're getting backed into the ropes not firing and really not winning the jab battle in most rounds either..if he got through with one i'd normally see him get through with a power shot as that one and a jab to finish it off...they traded big hooks at time..dirrel started catching jame's hook on his back and shoulder instead of running backward givin him the aggressive play like james did when dirrell would rip off shots...very close fight one point win either way..i'd love a draw and rematch

Jab battle? Dirrell's jab was hitting thin air all night. DeGale's right jab was rocking Andre's head back when he threw it.

I was giving Dirrell rounds based on Chunky going nothing but if we're using Defence as a scoring criteria, DeGale won that by a million miles.

very good, close fight and yes that 1 judge should never be allowed to judge again. i need to apply if they are letting these kinds of cards fly outta nowhere
