Round-by-Round: DeGale vs. Truax / Selby v Ramirez - 9 December 2017

[Neil Gee]

I can't split them after 12, dead level, though if forced to pick a winner I'd say DeGale edges it.

[jamamb]

okay so get ready 4 degale ud

[jamesmcdonnell]

You just know DeGale will get decision - he looks borderline shot to me.

Shot or a year out in a 12 rounder?

Thats the question. His punch resistance was a worry.

[Boxerbeetle]

Jesus, a fair set of scorecards

[paddy chavez]

It had to be

[jameswilson]

Work of genius going to BT wasn’t it!

[jamesmcdonnell]

Good scorecards. You had to credit truax for being on the front foot for almost every round. I could have lived with a draw, a lot of close rounds, but degale sat in the corners far too much of the bout.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Official Scorecard!!

114-114
115-112
116-112

And NEW!!!!!!!!!!!

[Boxerbeetle]

Needs a change of trainer for definite.

[jamesmcdonnell]

Do wonder if the shoulder went early.

[closer]

Thank god for that, well deserved!

[sweetmagee]

I got that wrong - felt sure DeGale would get decision regardless. Justice done there I think.

[jamamb]

wow. terrible sign for degale. he was levels above truax just a couple years ago.

[Exoddus]

Right result I was generous to Degale and still had him a round down after the fight finished.

[jamesmcdonnell]

Needs a change of trainer for definite.

They didn't seem to mention staying off the ropes at all.

[Ruthless-RKO]

IBF ranked #15!

He took the opportunity!

Well Done!

DeGale should've stayed in US.

They studied Jack-DeGale tapes.

[TheLeprechaun]

wow. terrible sign for degale. he was levels above truax just a couple years ago.

It looks like the Badou fight took a lot out of him.

[jamamb]

man a lot of fighters r gonna be after truax now

[Neil Gee]

Truax is ever so humble. Well done to him.

[wesshaw1985]

There will be a rematch clause in there I would have to imagine?
I hope to god W@rren didn't sign DeGale to a ridiculously expensive long term contract...

[jamamb]

wow. terrible sign for degale. he was levels above truax just a couple years ago.

It looks like the Badou fight took a lot out of him.

ya and he was shit before that against porky too. got hit a lot in that as well.

[dirk2686]

wow. terrible sign for degale. he was levels above truax just a couple years ago.

I think he still is. There has to be a question of matchmaking here. I reckon Degale saw this as an easy night and took his foot off.

[rossij8]

Is Ron 7ft tall?

[rd350lc]

Degale looks done to me , offered very little and Truax didn't even have to work to find openings .
Plodding forward , finding the target easily .
Wouldn't be surprised if Degale calls it a day and I would think he came into the fight with shoulder problems .
Looked a shadow of the fighter he once was

[jamesmcdonnell]

McDonnell looks nervous there when degale mentioned changing things in camp
