Yeah the jack fight took everything out of him he stayed hit unfortunately

Yeah he had so many injuries and tough fights back to back the Bute fight was the start then the Jack fight was so damaging

Chunky wasn't too far past his prime. He was never that good even in his prime as he lost to groves and struggled against 1 fighter that callum smith destroyed

@@sexydudeuk2172 Lmao. He was shot to bits mate. And the Groves fight could have went either way, a lot of people had DeGale winning.

@@ReservoirPunk he wasn't shot. He was still good enough and gave eubanks a fight also for the European title degales cardio played in and he got hit too much in that fight and he also struggled against mouhammedi who callum smith destroyed and he could only manage a ud win against lucien bute who carl froch destroyed

animatter , 😂😂👍👍👏👊😅😅😅😅😅😰

GK Musik Got exposed

you're an idiot

GK Musik I was saying the bias commentary got exposed, dont be so defensive

oh ok my bad sorry dude!

Commentators ruin the fight creating fake images. The guys they hype up be getting whooped.

exactly. that's why you can't get wins on paper. You have to fight the fights

Oh and froch destroyed lucian bute. Degale could only decision bute are you forgetting that?

@@sexydudeuk2172 You are right! I had forgotten that actually.

I personally thought Degale should have got the decision against groves.

@@Lamedvavnik It was a pretty close fight actually. My immediate reaction after seeing the fight was that the decision could have gone either way.

I wouldn't say Ray Leonard is but that other asshol* is assessing and promoting a keys to victory fight plan for Dirrell. He's not doing any thing close to similar for Degeale...

your not wrong...all big dirrell fans here

I thought the commentary was bang on. Degale gets lazy. I don't know if its lack of conditioning but walking around with his hands down is just asking to get hit. Whenever he stepped in up, he looked like he had the ability to put doubt in Dirrels mind but he was just content to do nothing in the middle part of the fight

You should see the commentating for broner vs Mikey. They was counting blocked punches. Fuck the commentators.. And judges..

+rob valledy dude this was a close ass fight. I'm from London and slightly more biased towards Degale, but this was definitely close. I had a draw the first time I watched it, watched it repeatedly and got 114-112 for Degale (round 5 was the round I changed). The Judge who had 117-109 is an embarassment

these commentators are so full of shit in the second half of the fight. i had it 116:110 Degale

Sports Talk 79 Close ass fight? London eh? Lol

@@sportstalk7993 "dude" "close ass" sure you're from London 👍

It was close the knock down help him win

@David boxing101 Why should the fight be over???!!!

Going into the Super6 Dirrell was considered THE man for the USA. Oh and there was some guy with an Olympic gold medal. First round of fights happen and Froch gets a lucky decision against Dirrell where as this guy, Andre Ward, beats Kessler in a decisive fashion. Sure there was a few headbutts in there but Kessler was widely considered #1 and favourite to win the tournament. Fast forward several years later and Ward retires as one of the greatest 168 lbers ever, Dirrell will not even be a foot note.

Dirrel coud have been better if he bottle held up.

Dirrell lacked heart and discipline

@@sexydudeuk2172 No Olympic silver medalist lacks heart. Nonsense.

Actually it is the British who are excessively biased in their commentary; they have all the excuses for a British fighter winning. Degale was very "lucky" to win

Zak B Don't be stupid

dirrell better respect and fear degale cause he dished out an ass whoopin! BTW Britain have 11 world title holders at present, what about you yanks?... American boxing is so shit these days you guys support Mexicans and Russians as if they were your own

Pretty sure Lennox Lewis was the undisputed heavyweight champ for quite a while after Barrera v Hamed so he was a joke then? As we're guys like Joe Calzahge, David Haye, Ricky Hatton, Carl Froch. historically the United States has probably achieved more than any other country in boxing but saying the US sees legitimate world champions from Britain who are proven world class as a joke makes you sound like a clown who doesn't even follow the sport.

these commentators are so full of shit in the second half of the fight. i had it 116:110 Degale

Heard he was all about that party and playboy lifestyle that’s why he never stayed really active

Cos his cardio wasn't the best

+manofonyx2 He was setting him up for a perfect headbutt to the fist man.

Looool 'he is setting him up' BOOM hit with a big left hand, great punch by degale

man of onyx Thats what happens when the commentators are too bias they get exposed

e lewis , ? ? need glasses ?

watch the fight without sound then you will understand. these commentators are so full of shit in the second half of the fight. i had it 116:110 Degale

Think he genuinely mixed them up. Not biased just incompetent.

I was thinking the same thing

"cut the shit out"

silverspear21 What's up with you

EL RAFA I was quoting the ref, he kept saying that early on so I thought it was relevant to your comment about him making it good fight. I agreed.

silverspear21 cool

Degale was never that good even in his prime. His cardio wasn't the best and did get hit too often in certain fights

Ward however had a better gas tank and defence then degale and was able to adapt

i got Jack

+Joshua Harper groves is finished

+Darren Holdsworth he is now!

yeah i shouldnt have said that, he was only seconds away from being world champ in the 1st froch fight

+Hulk Hogan mocking a guy because of his appearance is pretty damn low. So what if he's balding? he's still more alpha male than you'll ever be douchebag

degale beat groves.... I've watched that fight soooooo many times cuz I thought I was had missed something but he done him by 2 or 3 rounds

Robert Moore dude this fight also reminded me of the ward kovalev fight it was really very similar!! Strange and weird o. O

Robert Moore I was thinking same thing

Not sound, this is crazy. Ward lost badly and Dirrell not lost at all. Ward has little come back in rounds 5, 7 and 8. But rounds 9-12 is Kovalev come back. DeGale was outbox, he has claim to win this fight, because he hurt and drop Dirrell couple times, but in boxing match, he was outclass. Kovalev never was outbox. Ward did. There is no single round Ward outclass Kovalev. On the other hand Dirrell beating up DeGale in numerous rounds.

beniamingt how the fuck did Ward losse the 12 round wtf.watch the round again plse

Was hurt by body shot.

If he kept his hands up and maintained a steady defense he would step up a whole grade as a fighter. He also would've beat Degale decisively.

Dirrel is way more exciting to watch than ward. Never seen an exciting ward fight

tj baby lol that’s a pretty good description

Dirrell lost lots of speed and footwork throughout the years which is weird Because he had a long lay off without a actual ass whooping.

+834373i it actually was a good round for dirrell, he did get caught with 1 punch at 35:05 but it was while he was in the middle of a combination where he lands 4 of 8 punches. degale actually was missing big looping lefts and dirrell was touching him with a lot of punches but not landing with full impact. dirrell lands clean left hook at the end.

fact is he went in over confident and emotional and them are the 2 things u dont want to do against a tough fighter that packs a punch. degale gets away with wreckless movement wild swinging, even when he did land combinations they are not too skillful, but he has this awkward herky jerky movement, dirrell is the more skilled fighter, but u got to fight smart not with emotion, like he did in this fight right from the first rd. in a rematch he beats degale guaranteed. degale had him hurt and didnt finish him and dirrell came back and did good in the latter rds, and he was still on wobbley legs thruout the fight. i want to see a rematch or degale vs anthony. i like degale, that style frustrates guys, almost amatuerish style. but he has it working, so credit to him. big win over bute also.

+rick rich Fucking finally someone speaks some sense, I agree with everything you said, however in this fight I think that as a whole in this fight; Direll definitely outboxed Degale. the knockdowns helped him scrape it. its just that overhand left is so dangerous, its almost Marcos Maidanaish. With the correct gameplan from Direll in a rematch I think the only feasible way Degale beats him is through knockout, the guy was fighting buzzed and was still winning multiple rounds in a row

+Algo Algo Watch it again with no commentary. It's amazing how yattering bias yanks can influence opinions.

When he's on the floor after Degale KO's him? ;) (Degale will woop Smith)

Smith is good but i feel he will be like the rest of his brothers and fall a bit short of true world class. He hasn't fought anybody of note yet.

@@Two_Seat_Pete_FatA55 And he ended up being the best Smith brother (so far) :)

Yeah, although i'd say Liam Smith has only lost to two very good fighters. Callum did great against Groves, but there's always going to be that question about if Groves was anywhere near his best after the shoulder injury. I think the next couple of fights will give us a true indication of where Callum is at for sure. Can't knock what he's done, but it just can't be ignored that Groves was never going to be the same after that bad injury.

Good point. I rooted for Groves, but think his tactic wasn't the best. Smith wasn't impressive in the last 2-3 fights, so he thought he could bang with him and was punished. Too bad Groves retired, he has a few big fights in him left. In my opinion he was #1 in super middle, so it only makes sense that Smith took his spot. What I'd like to see is Zurdo sticking around a little more, so they can fight. 175 is already more interesting even without him.

yes outright ignorance..i had it draw..wouldnt be mad at a 1 point win for degale

+Jonathan Hickey Laziness

His brother name as anthony honest mistake

+floyd who doesn't whoop abraham? haha

+Nicolas Doré after his performance against Murray I think he does... let's see how he looks against bute

+umar thomas he will lose

+9dangerous1 abraham should have drew with Murray

umar thomas hmmm maybe, idk but I have the felling that degale will lose against Bute.

you're probably american

. Rezinator I don't see how that matters either way

it shouldn't matter, but yanks score it for dirrell/draw and neutrals score it for the winner

George Karpouzis Jack had them hands for Degale

Yes he did. I was surprised by the result but always knew that Jack has a high work rate. It's that work rate that caused that damage.

That was the judge who gave it to dirrell you mong

@@leesurman2331 It was a UD, ''you mong''

so that's 5rds iyo which wouldn't be enough...

+rick rich so... beats kessler, green, bika, abraham, froch, waits almost a whole yr then beats dawson, then waits over a year, beats rodriguez, takes 1 and a half yr out and beats a national level fighter paul smith (he had been out so long that he couldnt even fight a world class fighter) then decides hes grown older and cant keep weight anymore and u questioning "how did he escape without fighting dirrel or degale"?? lol

+Raoul Akhtar all bums next to degale direll golovkin. great boxer but andre ward didnt test himself properly and prove himself best in this weight division without facing these names

K9ane not really. Froch could come out of retirement now and still beat those 3, let alone when he was in his prime.

Raoul Akhtar haha lay off the glass pipe buddy the man couldnt swat a crippled fly he was punching air the whole dirrell fight bulshit decision. whether ward goes up a weight division or remains super middleweight a russian will knock him out

K9ane hahaha

+Ric Macphedear Dirrell IS a good fighter. He was just beaten by a better one.

madness

Yeah it was really close I scored it for Degale but couldn't have argued if it would have gone either way Degale does look talented but just can be so damn lazy

No way. Froch and calzaghe would have destroyed him

Nope.

lolol

there has never been a prime dirrell you fucking mong

what the fuck did u smoke before writing that comment

omgyouareugly was he fuck robbed against Froch...he ran like a pussy all night
