    Much love to DeGale. I really thought Dirrell was going to win this fight. Very close fight but the right fighter won. A rematch wouldn't be a bad idea.

    Rodriguez won. Baker wasn't even in trouble; just taking shots on the gloves along the ropes.
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    I agree, but you have to wonder what the hell was Baker thinking when he was leaning against the ropes letting his opponent bang away? Was he thinking I look good, I'm really scoring points now, or was he just not thinking? Not being a well known fighter, he made a mistake when he expected the ref to give him the benefit of the doubt. It happens, but not to Baker again I'm thinking.

    Oh of course I wasn't making any commentary one way other whether it was not art of a master plan. I agree with you. Was just filling in the happenings for grey who asked who won. I agree with you though about bakers mindset. Baker should have had the impression that this was a free promo for Rodriguez, and been trying to play spoiler. I thought the 2 big shots that landed before that(3 if you count the last grazing shot) might have put barker In a bad position but he seemed to be weathering the storm and waiting for Rodriguez to gas. I definitely wouldn't have gambled with the no frills officials overseeing the bout.

    Good fight. DaGale was lucky to get the decision. I believe he won by a point or two, but he really took his foot off the gas in the middle rounds and let Dirrell take over.

    Haven't seen the fight, but have to man up, . I Picked Dirrell.
    I'm blown away. Is Direll not world class? He is fast has pop or is Degale world class?

    Is there a future for Dirrell on the world stage from what you guys saw?
    Damn Andre.
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!

    Dirrell is a world class boxer and he would beat Abrahams to win a title but the other champions are better than him at this moment in time. He can come again like his brother. They need to be active and fight better quality fighters if they are serious about winning the titles back.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Ok I watched it.
    Dirrell couldn't time, evade or counter Degale's looping right hand. It's not a straight left, like say...Pac's left hand which is straight as an arrow.
    Kinda like Calzaghe punches: hard to determine where the punch will land.
    I had Dirrell pegged to win...until the 11th, 12th rounds.
    Chris Byrd and Andre's grand pappy imo don't mix well and as an end result didn't tell Andre what he needed to hear.
    12th round, when I heard Byrd taking about a jab?
    Are u kidding me?
    Some one like Freddie Roach for example has told Pac and James Toney: u need to put this guy on his ass.
    Our When Bouie Fischer was with Hopkins would say in the final round, Son, you got to close the show big.
    Dirrell NEEDED to hear that.
    No doubt in my mind, Andre may have had to contend with that one screw ball score card, but the other two were on the money.
    Andre lost that fight because Degale wanted it harder in the 11th and Andre just posed in the 12th.
    Decent fight, but not great.
    Degale is a good fighter who will lose in the next few years. He is unorthodox, but is no potential great.

    Baker weighed 293lbs as a football player according to announce..now 170. Wow!

    I agree with you about the stoppage, and maybe the ref is past his pull date, but the fault has to be shared by the fighter too. I was thinking, he better watch out the ref might stop the fight, and he did. Letting your opponent bang you around on the ropes is a stupid thing to do, especially when you are a little known fighter.
    293-170=123, what's the big deal? Lol
