Official: Badou Jack vs Lucian Bute / James Degale vs Rogelio Medina RBR Thread

Care to comment on the 117 - 111 ?

I had 116-112, so a one point swing either way from that is not crazy to me.

I don't think 117-111 is outrageous because Jack's body work was consistent in every single round. They're not for show shots either, he's putting leverage into them. I score those kinds of body punches. So even when Bute got a round, it was pretty close(spare 1 or 2 rounds Bute clearly won). In a situation like that, sometimes there will be a wide score and it not be dishonest or incompetent. You must have felt it was too wide?

Believe me, I saw Bute as the one who had the center of the ring, and was often times trynig to come forward and be lively and press action, but he kept running into the body attack. He had to concede grounds for a while here and there and then came alive again. Bute was competitive, but Jack was too consistent for me to edge into feeling like it was Bute's fight except at the end. He definitely had some momentum and had the fight continued, he would have been in a good position...but slow momentum build isn't always reflected on the scorecard.

The best I could could up with if I tried is 115-113 for Bute. i'd more easily make it to 117-111 than 114-114

That was 3 years ago when Porky was 24 years old. He has improved A LOT since then. You'll see tonight! DeGale's going to be laying on the canvas doing the stanky leg at the end of the night

Well, Degale didn't do the stanky leg but you were right about his improvement. I didn't see a competitive figtht at all. I think Degale probably underestimated Medina a bit but he was very lucky to get this victory. I think most people had Medina winning.

Yup, the fans in the audience know who won. It was a clear Porky victory.

There was no underestimation. DeGale just got his ass kicked.

I had it 9-3 for Jack. A draw is beyond outrageous. It was not close. Even Bute knows he lost that fight.

What are you people watching degale could do what he wanted in there

If that means getting hit when he shouldn't have, yeah sure.

DeGale always seems to make fights harder than they are, or he is not as good as some people think.

Medina was not discouraged one minute in the ring last night.

He's a 6 round fighter and gasses out after that, resorting to fighting in 20 second spurts. He was talking so much **** on Sky Sports about how he was going to go for the knockout, he ended up doing **** all

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

PORKY WON

lol haters gonna hate
