DeGale, Selby Doubleheader To Be Streamed By Showtime

[Congo66]

DeGale was terrible, he didn't throw any punches and just laid on the ropes.
I didn't score it round by round but thought Truax was the better fighter and deserved to win it.

 

[Boxiana]

DeGale looks like a broken man.

 

[Queen B]

I guess outside of Benevidez, the best 168 are in the WBSS

Frank Warren saying he thought DeGale lost and he thought he was behind going into the last 2 rounds......
Promoters never say that.

DeGale looked shot to fuckin' pieces. It was like all the bad, lazy foot-off-the-gas moments of his entire career (& there've been many) rolled into one. His defence was awful, his footwork non-existent, he had no timing & it seemed to me fought basically one-handed.

Fair decision, I thought 115-112 was about right. Fifth might've been one of the most one-sided rounds of the year, clear case for dusting off the sorely-underemployed "10-8 round without a knockdown" there.

Wow! Upset! Truax won fair and square

[MC Paul Barman]

DeGale lost to Truax?
Wow.
That's about as expected as Celestine Caballero's loss to Litzau.

DeGale was terrible, he didn't throw any punches and just laid on the ropes.
I didn't score it round by round but thought Truax was the better fighter and deserved to win it.

He's another British paper champion like 90% of the fighters not named Joshua, Khan, Hamed or Hatton.

Did you see that Jerwin Ancajas vs Jamie Conlan fight? Conlan was on his knees from the first round, literally. The ref was trying desperately get him back in the game over and over, but he kept landing on his ass until he couldn't even walk in the 6th.
