You say tomato,
‘n I say …… it correctly.
I had it 7-5 to Badou and whilst the fight was close he was the clear winner.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
7-4-1 for Jack.
As I said before, it reminded me of ward-kovalev. Jack deserved it but I could see it the other way if you gave degale all the close rounds. It wasn't a robbery but jack deserved to win.
Video is mental. 95% of the people feel Jack won but "Jack earned a draw, Degale gave away a win"? Mental. The draw is fair enough. But Jack won, and he beat him up.
Skill isn't just showy punches and fluid movement. Punch selection is a skill, spacial awareness is a skill, blocking punches is a skill. The more skillful guy landed more, landed cleaner, and landed harder.

Love both the videos and the passion for the sport. Just have agree to disagree on this one. There seem to be two camps. Those that felt Degale was well ahead early and Jack brought it back to a draw. And those that thought Degale had a lead early and Jack came on for the win. I'm fine with the draw as I said. I just don't like the thought Degale gave it away. I think Jack doesn't get as much credit as he deserves for using his mind to overcome limitations.
Did you know Jack outlanded him in 3 of the first 6 rounds? It supports the idea it was close early. The late charge is supported by Jack outlanding him in 5 of the last 6.
Of course punch stats are not the be all end all but when they contradict what we saw I think most of us revisit it.
Any way about it it was a great night for boxing fans. Appreciate the videos
I had Jack winning, but can see the case for Degale. If you look at this fight from the aspect of who caused more damage, Jack was the clear winner. Boxing is a science, however, so I understand how some judges would reward Degale's movement and flashy combos. That being said, if it was an old school, 15 round fight, Jack stops him.
6 each
I thought it was a relatively easy fight to score
having said that, I cant really see any case for degale winning more than the 6 he won
I wouldn't argue to strongly with anyone scoring it 7-5 to jack
Officially the only saddo who has had a girlfriend
Cracking fight from both guys. I'm not a big DeGale fan but he showed some grit there. He obviously lost his teeth quite early on because his mouthpiece kept falling out and he toughed it out very well. The commentators were questioning his standing in front of Jack rather than boxing .... but he has stood in the pocket for his entire pro career - a bit like a poor mans Don Curry.
Jack is a beast, great engine especially as he was tight at the weight. Solid solid guy, who doesn't do much spectacular which is why I think he has had some bad decisions.
having said all that, I watched the fight through the first time without commentary and I had De Gale winning by a point.
I can see why people might have Jack as the winner. Whoever lost would have been gutted as they both gave their all.
If God wanted us to be vegetarians, why are animals made of meat ?
Wider than I thought rewatching it again. 8-4 Jack on sheer physicality and more effective punching.
I had Jack winning. No talk about Floyd checking the judges cards between rounds.
