De Gales Chin...is criminally underrated

[VatoMulatto]

This guy has taken more punishment with what three knockdowns his entire career? Yet despite being tlal and scrappy will go toe to toe in the ring.

DeGale never been dropped before. Jack is the only one who's been able to put him on the canvas so props to Jack.

I was more impressed with his toughness in general though. There was quite a while to go in the round after that knockdown, i fully expected him to get stopped.

There were quite a few times Jack hit him and he did a very subtle stutter step like he was truly hurt. Then he would come back with a big shot of his own. It's ironic that he went down the way he did, like a delayed reaction. This was one of the best fights I've seen in a long time. It was great display of skills rather than just two fighters slugging it out. It's a shame there wasn't a decisive winner. Either one deserved it.

He's getting knocked down by guys who aren't big punchers... Badou Jack has a 50% ko rate.

[daggum]

yes when you compare him to amir khan, david price, james kirkland.

I thought he was always known to have a solid chin anyway?

Yeah he does but all these gg nerds kept saying how degale had no chin and that gg would KO him in one round

[SilverMiles]

Yeah he hasn't really fought many big punchers and Jack himself isn't a huge puncher. He seems good at surviving but he's a kayo waiting to happen.

well i'm a GGG fan but no way does he walk through DeGale. I think he could beat DeGale, especially the way DeGale has been fighting in his last 4 or 5 fights.

That said, i think last nights fight might have taken something out of DeGale, that was a close fight but a very, very rough night for him. It was the kind of fight that takes just a slight edge off your punch resistance which can be the difference between taking a shot and getting hurt. It wouldn't surprise me if he does end up getting knocked out soon. Now i think there's a chance Golovkin could run through him, but no way does he run through DeGale before last night.

That's assuming Golovkin could carry his power up to SMW. There's no evidence of that yet.
