Comments Thread For: DeGale vs. Truax, Selby vs. Ramirez Set For December 9

Frank is taking some heat for this on Twitter, I don't know what people were expecting? it's a good card IMO. De-Gale's fight is a comeback fight after injury.

DeGale is coming off 4 straight, tough 'road' bouts...Is there anyone out there who has even done this lately? This is a good comeback, Truax is decent work, IMO...the people griping have probably never stepped foot in a gym or woke up everyday at 4 am to go run 5km...

I think it's Matchroom and Eddie Hearn fanboys personally......but some people would accuse me of being that on here..... such is life when you dare take a side on anything.

Cash out lol. DeGale has more than a good chance of beating anyone in the tournament.

The good thing is that we will get to find out. Hopefully Groves or Eubank Jr win the tournament. The hype for Groves - Degale 2 would be brilliant, matched only by the potential back and forth between DeGale and Eubank.

DeGale is coming back from a serious injury and has been in a lot of wars. I have no issues with a tune up, give the guy a break.

I agree with this^^^^^^^^

The guys been on the road for years, been in tough fights and is coming back from serious injury's. He's allowed a tune-up fight to get back into the groove.

I have no problem with the Lee Selby opponent, seems a good unbeaten fighter on paper with decent wins against unbeaten guys and is actually better then i expected considering Selby vs Warrington will be happening early next year.

I'm not surprised people don't like Caleb Truax as an opponent, he's an average fighter but Degale is coming back from a serious injury so this is just a warm up fight.

Just looking at the IBF Top 15, I do think Warren should have gone for someone like Roamer Angulo, who probably isn't any better then Truax but has a Sexy Record (22-0 19 KO's) as that would have been easier to sell.

Anybody decent other than Ramirez and Benavidez are in the WBSS any way.

He doesn't need Russell.

Warrington vs Selby will be a BIG FIGHT in either Leeds or Wales early next year and then the winner will fight Carl Frampton in a MEGA DOMESTIC FIGHT in the Summer.

Meh, not impressed with those fights
