Blimey, what a round.

Blimey. Going to be a tough fight for degale. Showed some real guts to hang in there.

[Neil Gee]

3-2 DeGale, although he almost fell apart in round 5. Has DeGale been hiding some problems?

[Stuarty]

DeGale rattled and struggling. He's hardly throwing anything and not doing very much offensively at all!

Looks like it mate.

[jamesmcdonnell]

Think degale is going to lose this. Looking very vulnerable.

[rossij8]

Truax is blowing hard as well

[Neil Gee]

3-3.

[Ruthless-RKO]

He picked the lowest ranked fighter possible. Still having a hard time. Truax is trying to take advantage. He knows DeGale is mentally 'just about there'..

[Stuarty]

DeGale has hardly threw any combinations at all! He threw a couple in the opener and none really since. Wonder if somethings went wrong in the first round coz this is a strange performance from him so far!

[jamesmcdonnell]

Does seem likely. He's hardly thrown the right hand at all in the last 5 rounds.

[paddy chavez]

Degale doesn't seem to have the power or speed to keep traux off

[rossij8]

When you are a champion damaged long term from a previous bout you don't have the benefit to build yourself up again

[Deno1986]

DeGale 8/15
Truax 6/4
Draw 14/1

Big swing from the pre fight odds

[Neil Gee]

4-3 Truax

To be fair, he's been beaten up his last few fights. This comes as no surprise to me.

I think jack finished degale

[sweetmagee]

DeGale fighting like he's 41 not 31. Other guy's accuracy is pretty awful and not a puncher but he's winning.

[Ruthless-RKO]

I think we're going to see a daft decision win for DeGale. He might win it fair, but we tend to get over hyped scorecards.

DeGale has no motivation it seems

[Stuarty]

Truax looks like a 168 Raymundo Beltran and fights a bit like him as well!

Close round.

[rossij8]

Possibly and he could have lost on points- he would have then had an easier comeback fight

[Exoddus]

Degale 2 rounds down for me.
