Good stuff, glad to hear it, I'll keep you updated on my movements once that vindaloo has traveled through me

Every time DeGale fights, he spends 70% of his time on the ropes.
Traux is like another Carson Jones, comes forward and game.
Degale probably nicked the round.
4-2 Degale.
Degale took this fight lightly and was looking to 2018 in every interview. Seriously needs to get his back off the ropes.
Give Traux the 7th round with better aggression.
Htf is Degale going to survive Groves or even Eubank junior? He looks damaged goods.
DeGale doesn't throw or connect with anywhere near enough punches.
He don't look right Degale. Maybe the Badou Jack fight took it all out of him?
No jab at all and zero power.
I thought Truax won that 7th too. DeGale struggling with Truax is not a good sign.
Traux wins 8th round even fight now.
with a yank and a Canadian judging this could Truax actually get the decision here?
I can't believe this is close after 8.
He does look really bad when he gets hung up there falling back into corners. Stream going to shit, stick to cat videos Facebook.
Give Traux that round too. 5 to 4 now to him.
Exciting and close 10t round but give it to Traux.
Have Truax up now also but not sure how much. 'Murica. DeGale putting his ear muffs on and being knocked back into ropes again.
2018 could be a year of rebuilding for DeGale rather than defending against Groves or Jr
Truax got the 10th. Roughing up DeGale along the ropes and in the corners.
Degale wins the 11th by digging deep and forcing the fight
6-5 Traux
DeGale 11th. Respect to Truax either way but zero reason DeGale should be in a 'war' like this. Never imagined this remotely close.
Degale wins last round as Traux coasts the round. Idiot.
A draw 6 rounds all
I think DeGale pulled it out, could go either way.
Traux gets it majority decision
Oh dear!
Truax deserved that if you ask me.
DeGale needs to forget about Groves for a while
Wow. Just fucking wow. Cannot believe that upset. THIS is why boxing has me by the balls :-X.
Haha DeGale back to the drawing board.
Truax 100% deserved that belt
I'm going to hazard a guess and say that DeGale has got a broken nose lolz
Humble as they come superb career come back story. Love it man :appl:.
Same old problems for DeGale. Not working hard enough, not fit enough, always on the ropes. Ihought Truax deserved it.
He can fight Eubank after Groves beats him.
There's always an excuse with James. It's been years since he's looked impressive so maybe he is over the hill. We don't want to hear more groin or shoulder stories. He fought poorly tonight. Can't avoid punches, power seems to have left him and now his chin and stamina are in doubt. That guy got blown away by the rubbish dirrel in 1 round.
if James is serious he's got a lot of changes to make. Groves and eubank have rubbed it in on Twitter and on that form I can't see James beating those guys. Let's see what he's made of and how he comes back.
Just watched the fight..so glad they made the right decision.
I like Degale and he has been out for 11 months, but he is very sloppy at times.
I take it that frank will demand the rematch straight away?
DeGale looked bloody crap that shoulder of his may just finish his career,! he lost he was getting hit far to much he seems to be getting banged up a bit against Jack and Truax James looked terrible he needs to evaluate if he can compete at this high level now. Jr Groves or Smith would have sparked him last night on that performance as they say no hiding place in boxing.;)
I think when you start to get injuries, it plays more on the mind than anything else. And you start thinking too much about all sorts of shit. After last nights fight , with the few things he said, to me it looks like he's gonna split from his trainer.
And I reckon in his heart of hearts , he's gonna be looking at a couple of cash out fights like the loser of Groves/Eubank, then the loser of the final with Callum Smith and then a final hurrah against the WBSS . That's all assuming he can win any of them. Even if he loses, there's still fights to be made, but less money.
James DeGale to be given immediate chance to win back world title in rematch with Caleb Truax
James DeGale will be given an immediate opportunity to win back his world title.
The Brit lost his super-middleweight belt when he was beaten by Caleb Truax in a stunning upset last weekend.
But a rematch clause in the contract means DeGale can demand an instant shot at his old title.
DeGale's shock defeat - the second of his career - looked to have put paid to the 31-year-old's hopes of a unification rematch with bitter rival George Groves.
Groves takes on Chris Eubank Jr in February in the World Boxing Super Series semi-finals, with the winner set to face either Callum Smith or Jurgen Braehmer in May.
But if he can reclaim his belt, DeGale could yet be waiting for the winner later in the summer.

I didnt know Truax was a Hamonite, that kinda negates any need for a rematch clause doesnt it? They all do as Al says dont they? From the sounds of things there was a rematch clause, I hope there was just to make Eddie and Franks verbals even more pointless.
