BOSTON - James DeGale (21-1, 14 KOs) narrowly defeated Andre Dirrell (24-2, 16 KOs) Saturday afternoon on Premier Boxing Champions on NBC from Agganis Arena in Boston to earn the super middleweight world title.

Degale had Dirrell in trouble early knocking him down twice in the second round to open up a lead on the scorecards. Dirrell fought back strongly throughout the rest of the fight by using his jab and a series of combinations to occasionally stun DeGale, but was unable to make up the gap on the scorecards. The judges' scores were 114-112 twice and 117-109.

It wasn't all he did was it Andre? there was the small matter of you hitting the canvas and losing the championship rounds.

True, he fought like was sitting on lead in the 12th and DeGale kicked it back up just enough in those two decisive rounds

Lol this is real rich coming from him.

The rounds he ran, he lost, the rounds he actually didn't run, such as the 12th, he won Dirrell.

Laughing my ass off the entire fight with Dirrell's tough-man "act"(all it was, an act). He's very feeble minded.

I don't know what to say about Degale, he could have stopped Dirrell, either his stamina is sht or he's not too smart in there, or maybe Dirrell with his tough-man act actually got to him a bit.

I had it 114-112 DeGale

Huh,so knocking your ass down twice is considered running? No wonder you lost the fight,you dksab.

[ShoulderRoll]

I was going for Dirrell but he didn't do enough to overcome the two knockdowns. Would have had more of a case if he closed the show impressively in the championship rounds but instead he let Degale eek those out.

Still, this was a close fight and I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch.

A man known for running in fights calling another man a runner, thats gold.
