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

okay so get ready 4 degale ud

Shot or a year out in a 12 rounder?

Thats the question. His punch resistance was a worry.

Jesus, a fair set of scorecards

It had to be

Work of genius going to BT wasn’t it!

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.

Official Scorecard!!

114-114
115-112
116-112

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

Needs a change of trainer for definite.

Do wonder if the shoulder went early.

Thank god for that, well deserved!

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

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

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

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

IBF ranked #15!

He took the opportunity!

Well Done!

DeGale should've stayed in US.

They studied Jack-DeGale tapes.

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

man a lot of fighters r gonna be after truax now

Truax is ever so humble. Well done to him.

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...

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.

Is Ron 7ft tall?

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

McDonnell looks nervous there when degale mentioned changing things in camp
