DeGale sucks

[diddy]

Just lost as a -16,000 favorite.

What a loser. Career is over.

[boxing_rocks]

Or he wasn't able to heal after damage inflicted by Jack.

has looked beaten up since porky gave him hell.

[diddy]

How is he shot? How old is he? What a loser. He’s 31 with 25 fights and he’s shot?

No he’s just got no damn work ethic. He’s a bum.

The outcome of the DeGale-Traux bout proves that foreign fighters can travel to the UK and not suffer from hometown biased judging.

DeGale will be granted an immediate rematch and he won't underestimate his opponent for their second bout... and will probably gain revenge.

That being said, Chunky has been through a lot of tough battles and perhaps the inevitable wear and tear has taken it's toll? Maybe the Brit really is shot... or at least past-his-prime?

[Blodhemn]

Wouldn't say he sucks but he definitely should be filed under the overrated category.

Sure you can get a decision there if you win 10 rounds. That’s good enough for a majority decision. Had he only won 7-8 no way he’s walking outta there with the belt.

Good thing that they had an American and Canadian Judges, because the British judge gave 114-114.....

no way did truax win 10 rounds. the scores shouldve been around 115-113 for him.

American judges awarding decisions to British fighters on UK soil hasn't prevented accusations of corruption and hometown bias from those that submit posts to this forum, has it?

Do you really need me to quote countless accusations of this nature posted to this forum to silence you? Do you?

[KiwiRider]

I think we should wait and see if there was a reason he was so bad tonight.
Virus? Injury? Who knows.
It has to be something because that is not the same Degale.
So hold

[jamamb]

think battles and injuries caught up to him.even medina was hell for him.losing to truax is a new low. truax was nothing more than fodder on pbc cards.

[dickbelden]

boxingnews24 had truax winning 10 rounds to 2

[jamamb]

lol thats a troll site. the articles are wrtten to wind ppl up. esp. those by scott gllfod. havent seen anyone scorng live on multple forums (not all brit) have it that wide. loads of scores posted too. was a 7-5 type fght. easily can find 5 rounds for degale. was expectng him to get it actually even though had truax ahead.

[dickbelden]

DEGALE was 47.5-1 fav ! betonline

[diddy]

DeGale closed as 160-1 favorite on 5D.

[dickbelden]

PINNACLE midpoint DEGALE 62.75-1 fav

[gilgamesh]

It's definitely an embarrassing loss, and definitely knocks him off of his lofty position in the 168 pound hierarchy. I figure he can win a rematch with Truax, but I doubt any of the bigger names at 168 would be sweating him at this point. Which they probably never would've in the first place.

[Mexi-Box]

The division has been a wasteland for years now. I don't think Jack was that great either. The division is just so terrible. The fact that you have a post-Cobra'd Groves at the top tells you a lot about this division.

Golovkin could've moved up and cleaned it out. MW is a way tougher division now.

[crow]

Say bye bye to good Haymon paydays, Chunky.

And get those teeth fixed, ugly faced boy.

This is what I think.

All of his recent fights have been tough & ageing fights.

He looks to me like a fighter in decline & if he is to continue, he is going to have to tread carefully.
