    Style seems to be more important than substance nowadays. It was a close fight, but I saw Medina taking it by a round. Degale was getting hit a lot, just because Medina's shots weren't as crisp doesn't mean they shouldn't count.

      Idk but it was way closer than the very wide odds would have lead you to predict.

        Thing about judging though is you can also score by making someone miss, being the general etc. It's not just punches landed, although imo it should be.

        I scored it a draw (tho I voted JDG lol) no complaints bout the decision, just the two wide cards. Feel DeGale would win a rematch. He would take the guy seriously next time.

          Much closer fight than the scores indicated, but I had DeGale winning. He's actually the clearly better fighter, but Medina showed heart and relentlessly pressed forward. I agree James would win much more comfortably in a rematch. I think he seriously underestimated "Porky."

            I had Medina winning by a point. He killed that body. I don't think the judges took that into consideration.

              I'm surprised it's a controversy of some sort but I've just realised that it's because DeGale is a foreigner. Had he been a USA boy nobody would have questioned it.

                  I feel bad for having to pick one but If I'm to pick I feel like I have to favour the guy who wanted it more, Medina landed more.

                    Medina impressed me but I had Degale winning. That 117 card was ridiculous.
