Comments Thread For: DeGale Drops Dirrell Twice, Wins Decision and Title

[CJRock]

I had it 114-113 for Dirrell.

After round 6 DeGale faded BADLY. I gave 7-11 (5 straight rounds) to Dirrell. I gave DeGale round 12, but that was a swing round that could have gone either way.

The judge who scored it 117-109 should be banned from judging. One of the worst cards of the year!

As bad as 118-110 &117-111 for Mayweather over Pacquaio??????

I was rooting for Dirrell but also like DeGale. Hopefully Hearn gets him some good fights and soft defenses like hes been known to do

Oh yeah those soft defences he's been feeding Froch all his career!

I gave direll the 5th round, i scored it 9-7 the 2nd round doh which i know is strange but direll was winning that round bar a the few punches that put him down,hence the fact i said a split decision would of been fair,cause if i scored it properly 10-7 round it was degale by a point,so ya my fault i had it degale by a point really sorry, i had dirrell winning from the 5th to the 11th, their was a few swing rounds,but i gave those to dirrell thinking judges might favour that,so in the end still only had degale winning by a point, dont get me wrong i was screaming for degale in this fight,but he really did step off a bit and wasnt exactly boxing great on the back foot,coming forward he was brilliant, but like i said it could have swung either way.

If you thought that the good work Dirrell did in the first 2 mins of round 2 was enough to prevent a 10-7 then the correct way to have scored the round is 10-8 and not 9-7, not that it effects the balance of your score any but it is a 10 point must system. The winner of a round must receive 10 points unless he has points deducted for fouling.

Had dirrell up by 1 point at the end. I could see a draw though. But that 117-109 was ridiculous. But it was dirrells own fault he lost . didn't seem like he really wanted to win. No urgency in the championship rounds.

I agree i forgot about that, but im fairly drunk ATM sooooooo good fight either way

What a disgraceful ****ing robbery! Only in America do we **** our own fighters and give it to the other guy. You would have had to knock the guy out to win in the UK. ****ing shameful ! Degale did nothing after the knockout and Dirrell jabbing and putting in combinations all night. So sorry Andre.

No robbery here.

I scored it 114-112 for DeGale.

Good to see those two judges had it right.

Where the heck did they find that ancient ref in the ight heavyweight fight ?? He struggled around the ring & I think he stopped the fight because he was tired not because of the fight Texas guy was robbed really he wasn't hurt

[Pain~Lucy]
