It's obvious Hearn has some IBF guys in his pocket. DeGale did nothing in the second half

Degale won atleast one of the last two rounds, if not both in my opinion combine with with the first half of the fight and the two point swing in the 2nd and even if Dirrell swept 6-10 and maybe two if you are extremely generous of the first 5 rounds Degale would still get a draw because of the two points in the second.

I don't think you could score it for Dirrell at all, even though the fight was close there weren't enough rounds to make up for the knockdowns and the early rounds to come back from.

I had it 115-111, maybe even 116-110.

Didn't like that DeGale gave up those middle rounds. If it wasn't for that he could have won the fight much easier. Dirrell proved me wrong when it comes to heart though, because he showed a lot!! He cameback strong after the 2nd round.

Good competitive fight Dirrell took his foot off the gas in the 11, 12, round he gave away the fight

The best thing bout this Haymon takeover has been the judging, i mean its almost as if he has personally told the american judges to be unbiased, and i can only applaud it.

I cant argue with any of the outcomes, sure the canadian probably had a vendetta(as they all do vs Americans), but i had degale up by1,
And i had £10 on a 3:1 draw, so not the best result for me.

he broke that guard several times..got degales respect even after getting dropped...that was a great fight of high class if degale done it again i'd respect him more than i already do

This is what I mean about the joke that is "Haymon taking over"...
His guys suck, this isnt like other things where just throwing money around solves all of your problems. His stable is quite bad and he either keeps losing fights or losing leverage without the titles. His divisional representatives bring a tear to your eye. Peturd Quittin cant even beat Andy Lee, Anthony Dirrell loses to ****ing Badou Jack and "The Second Coming" Andre Dirrell loses to "euro level" James Degale. lol
If Degale is supposed to be euro level, then what the **** does that make eternal champion in recess(since he can never be an actual champ, you know, since he's so good he simply chooses not to...) Andre Dirrell?

i dont think degale threw rounds away, he was gassed. close fight between 2 pretty equally matched boxers

how the hell did you score it a draw? what rounds did you give Dirrell before the 5th? Which of the following did you give to Dirrell, for it to have been a draw you have to have scored a few even rounds or Dirrell winning (in terms of rounds) 7-5. That makes no sense.

I had it 7-5 DeGale, 115-111.

[puro dinamita]

fack right off!........overall I agree it didn't look like an annihilation, but on a round by round basis, which is how boxing is scored it was comfortable. Degale had rounds 1, 3, 4, 6, 11 and 12 with 2 Being a 10-7 round. He was so far ahead he could afford to lay off some rounds for a breather.

....anyway I'm off to ************ to see what that turd Gilfoid's excuse will be to how his uber talented bum chum Andre lost.

lol the only rd de gale won in the late rd was 11 he did **** in the mid and late rds dirrell won clearly stop being on chunky **** the dude will only have that belt a for a short time loses his first defense he's a trash fighter could'nt finish a hurt fighter instead wanted to run around dirrell won the rds cleanly
