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

[bojangles1987]

Well deserved, but he almost blew it. He needed those last two rounds.

I honestly thought DeGale wouldn't get the decision. I thought Dirrell probably would have grabbed it because DeGale just turned off after he got the knockdowns, that last round he got was VITAL. I expected more from Dirrell in that last round but very happy DeGale won it.

Damn good fight, Judges got it right. one of the scores was a bit crazy but I thought DeGale won the fight by winning the last 2 Rounds after Dirrell showed heart and battled back.

168 have some talent on the rise with DeGale of course, Dirrell doesn't drop too far still Top 10 in the Division and Dangerous and beats most, also the winner of Groves vs Jack that should be a good fight just like this one and also a guy nobody is talking about Fedor Chudinov is on the rise as well.

So while those are not "BIG FIGHTS" for Ward those are potentially good challengers for him especially DeGale!

forgot the fight was an early start and missed it

Degale won, but he let Dirrell back into the fight. Dirrell is so good at making guys miss and so bad at countering them when they do.

Good fight. I scored it degale ny a round. The cards were wonky tho. Very close fight. Both guys were on an even level. Neither is better than Ward tho.

Direll was jabbing thin air and putting in combinations against DeGale's gloves.

Robbery!

Who scored it 117-109 that Canadian judge?

[Roy Keane]

Scored it by 2 for Degale. Dirrel did ok in the middle rounds but he hardly landed anything really. Degale showed he could hurt Dirrel and put it on him when he wanted. I think he over trained 16 weeks is a long camp. Cong**** to Dirrel 10 more seconds and he would of been KO'd in the 2 to come back in the middle of the fit was a testimony to his grit.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!

So glad Dirrell's hyped up ass lost
