The Queen's Empire now has 12 world championship boxers! !! I'm simply overjoyed. No better way to put it. Our Tyson and our James proved class of their divisions once again last night! ! :ANYWORD: :ANYWORD: :ANYWORD: :ANYWORD:

well dunno about champions, only one champ there but yes, 11 title holders and that's still impressive -
If you're counting Scott Quigg make that 11 because that is not a real title. But 11 is still solid and cong**** to UK boxing.Comment

You still have guys like Gong, Dirk and flatline so that mitigates this great accomplishment by the UK a little

just checked a list of american title holders (they have 0 champions after floyd retired) and there's 7, or 8 if you count jacobs. TBH I could have discounted 2 or 3 others.
I know a lot of people are going to get defensive about this but a lot of the american "champs" are in worse positions and probably more paper than the worst of the british champs.Comment

There you have it folks, USA < UK.
Said no one ever.

DeGale won but he didn't look that good. He promised to go after Bute hard and knock him out in within three rounds. Instead he went backward most of the fight and never really hurt Bute or came close to scoring a KO. DeGale clearly won but he didn't win by all that much. He had his hands full with Bute and a prime Bute would probably have beaten him.Comment

Don't get to carried away, Flatline. Remember what USA boxer Garcia did to your beloved Khan. Remember what Ward did to Froch and he would no doubt also do to DeGale.Comment
