My point was valid, there's too much negativity posted on here sometimes. Try and be more positive, a brit just went to the states and won, in a fight many expected him to lose or be robbed. :TU:
You abused forum members for being negative for saying it was a close fight and then said you agreed with the close scorecards, as well as the wide ones. Which you got rightfully mocked for by several members of the forum.

You have been rude to others on this thread, so you are in a poor position to have a go at me for being rude.

I dont think you really understand what the word 'abuse' means. I also said i thought he clearly won, which he did, via UD.

Now even if i had been intentionally rude (not abusive), that doesn't mean you should be too. That's just childish. You comes across like you read everyone's posts with a negative mindset, why not try and be nice for a day :D

Or you can just carry on as you are and keep getting in to arguments with people and seemingly enjoying the often profanities you receive!

Rude, negative or whatever, the only real difference in the fight was round 2, a 4 point swing.

It was close but clear. DeGale closed the show in 11 and 12.

That second round will end up being the most crucial round of DeGale's career.

Without them knockdowns then I think Dirrell goes on to dominate the majority of the fight. What an absolute class act he is and one of the best fighters to never win a world title.

DeGale has a dig at world level and it may have to rescue him again at some point as he resorted to some frustrating actions in the middle rounds as he kept circling taking major breaks.

I had DeGale doing a thorough job on Froch but that fight is a lot closer than I originally thought.

Dirrell has no business being an offensive fighter, he had little clue about cutting down the ring and shooting first.

Despite his fabled 'speed' his feet were stuck in the mud, he couldn't read the distance and struggled to close the gaps - he often fired off prematurely, probably fearful more than anything, than getting inside and properly engaging.

I thought he was pretty mediocre to be honest after watching it back.

Degale kept breaking his rythm and his unconventional approach baffled the American for long spells. Raiding in and out worked well, but he didn't raid nearly enough in the second half as he should have done.
