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

[JokerOfAces]

So Degale wins what was an extremely close fight and some of you act like it was a complete gift decision?

It was a close fight. I was rooting for Andre but he didnt do enough to seal it at the end. Sorry but lets be real here.

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

Degale has done that exact thing throughout his career. He switches off, goes on the back foot and he used to languish on the ropes too.

As I've mentioned before, im not to sure his trainer is strong enough to stop his bad habits halfway through his fights. Degale needs to be managed with a stern hand when in the ring.

well done Sherlock. Haymon would put one of his lambs to the slaughter to set up a Degale/Groves fight that he had no hand in.....makes perfect sense! FFS

Thank you. Some people here are just acting like idiots. Complete amateurs. It was close. Degale edged it.

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.

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.

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

That is a bold claim my friend.

Very bold considering this wasnt a controversial decision and even the Americans had DeGale ahead.

Your comment is ridiculous as **** and ignorant. I was rooting for Andre.

[JokerOfAces]

this, degale didn't do much in the second half but the 2 KDs and winning the last 2 rounds sealed the deal. people complaining about wide scorecards, lol when is not an american getting it is a robbery. but i agree, the one card that gave degale 117 was really bad

Yep couldnt agree more. Direll could have won. He almost did. But he didnt.

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.

So what you are saying is that the fight wasnt even close and that degale was completely dominated and that you see no way on earth how he could have got the decision? A ****ing robbery as you said correct? Not competitive at all in your eyes? Maybe your pride is blinding your judgement.

I've alays known it to be the USA to be the home of corrupt judging, bias referees, hometown decisions, controversial scoring, tampered mits and performance enhancing drugs....We do have some ****e refs at the moment but generally there is far less corruption and judging is honest and fair.

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

Lol lol. You scoring the second round 9-7 is just as crazy as the judge who scored the fight a landslide for Degale. In the second Dirrel did not do enough to say he deserved credit and a 9-7 scored after being dropped HARD the first time and dropped a second time. Anything less than a 10-7 is straight up crazy. Dude Dirrel is lucky there wasnt 10-15 more seconds in that round because he would have been stopped. But Dirrel deserves a 9-7 round, yea sure ok.
Close fight for sure but Degale pulled it out no doubt.

Wipe the tears out your eyes and watch the replay pal

Ha ha yeah right, wait for the rematch or until your boy meets Ward.
