Comments Thread For: Badou Jack Ready For DeGale, Admits Move To 175 is Near

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - Badou Jack is hungry. Not simply in a career-advancement sort of way, though. Oh sure, the Swedish 33-year-old now living in Las Vegas hopes a Saturday night duel with fellow super middleweight title claimant James DeGale ends with an extra trinket in the trophy case...

welp if he wants to go right for a title at 175 im rooting for him to win this fight now doubt and then him and stevenson can have a big 168 175 lbs WBC ****out..

He want to get knocked out huh

I like Badou and definitely pulling for him over DeGale but idk about him at 175. No chance versus Ward and prob can't last 12 vs Kovalev or Stevenson

He walks around at about 195?! Geez! The weight drain game is pretty incredible for boxer nowadays. It makes you wonder how big are large LHW like Barrera and Kov. The 25 lbs gap between Cruiserweight and LHW has always been weird to me. It's not going to happen, but some re-alignment of the weights or something should happen...

Seems like it's getting worse if anything. 30 & 14 day weigh-ins should be more prevalent.

There's no such thing in boxing.

You're following the wrong sport.

Damn, didn't realize how big Jack was. We'll see if DeGale cna outbox him, because he definitely wont overpower him.

If he loses, it totally sounds like he's gonna go the Maidana route. Wouldn't be surprised if we get a picture of Jack partying it up and lookinng like he weighs 230.

Great Article!

Great interview!

I'm really pulling for Jack in this fight. I think since the KO lost to Derek Edwards he's fully rededicated himself and has gotten his career back on track. His performance against Bute and the exceptional performance he put on against George Groves are great indicators of what's to come if he gets past Degale. The move to 175 may be bit challenging because of the talent in the division but I wouldn't mind seeing it.

PREDICTION: Jack 115/113 UD
