Round-By-Round - James DeGale (IBF) vs. Badou Jack (WBC) - January 14th 2017

[gilgamesh]

Pedraza wins himself a round in the 5th. Might be getting himself into this thing now.

4-1 Davis

[ThereByTheGrace]

Davis looking strong in rd 6 big shots landing there. Davis looks fantastic

Yep. The 6th was his best round yet.

4-2 Davis at the half way stage.

[afcmarshall]

Does Liam Walsh get the winner of this.

[gilgamesh]

4-2 Davis at the half way stage.

The 2nd must've been the other one you gave Pedraza huh? I thought he controlled the first 2 minutes of that round using his height and reach effectively, but I still gave the round to Davis for landing the harder, more damaging shots in the final minute. Still though that's a round where I could see a case for Pedraza.

Every other round has been clear as could be.

[ThereByTheGrace]

Davis is shit hot fantastic performance

[brilo33]

great round 7 there for davis didn't waste a punch

[gilgamesh]

TKO 7 Gervonta Davis

Tremendous performance from him here. A massive step up in opposition for him, and he delivered with flying colors.

[mickey1975]

He looked exceptional.

[ElJefe]

Wow. Brilliant performance from Davis.

I thought he edged 4 on the inside and dominated the 5th.

Anyone fishing tonight found a good spot?

You get the feeling the harder fights for Davis are outside the ring he is so talented in the ring here's hoping he can go as far as he can

Yes that would be a shame

[Tanzio]

Yep, no doubt, Broner's taking over boxing fighting Granados

[gilgamesh]

Yep, no doubt, Broner's taking over boxing fighting Granados

Granados can beat Broner too. He's a grinder that can just outhustle guys, and he showed against Imam he can take big shots and keep on coming. Imam hits harder than Broner, Broner has better endurance and is more skilled than Imam. It's an interesting match.

Broner's accomplishments have a long way to go to match how he views himself in the sport though certainly.

His being a (4 weight World Champion) just shows how watered down that has become in the sport with multiple belts in each weight class. 1 of those title wins was over a guy not ranked in the Top 10, and one of them was over Malignaggi in a fight where I didn't think Broner deserved any better than a draw.

So his being a 4 weight World Champion is a great example of smoke and mirrors in my opinion.

[ThereByTheGrace]

Paul smith is a shit pundit. Hes basically a cheerleader for his brothers and its tiresome!

[Baby Face Finster]

Floyd says he will probably bet 500K on Badou tonight. This is how fighters with money end up broke.

Floyd be silly to do that

[Cyclops]

Please no national anthems.

Just touch gloves and fight.

Anybody that makes hundreds of millions of dollars in their lifetime and winds up broke gets no sympathy from me. You'd have to be a world class idiot to blow the kinda money Floyd has made.
