James DeGale v Rogelio Medina

[Spicoli]

8-4. Degale better lift his game over the second half of his fights

Looked like a guy going through the motions late and probably drinks through a straw.

If he's doing that on purpose then that's a special kind of arrogance. A fools kind. One would think the Groves fight would have taught him an unforgettable lesson.

I'd love to see Lucian pull this one out.

[IamInuit]

Wow, a draw. Thought Jack won the fight.

[Ron Swanson]

Guess I should have just waited, Inuit was on it haha

I've just caught up with the Degale fight . Yesterday on this thread ,I was asked why I didn't like Degale. Well this fight proved everything I said in my reply. Let's not forget, Medina wasn't the original Mandatory, he was a replacement.
2 questions I ended up asking myself.
1. How long Medina would last with Callum Smith?
2. Would Degale be allowed to go on his little walks around the ring or have the odd round off if he fought Smith or George Groves?

Maybe that is why DeGale wants a unification because he can avoid Smith.

Haha, maybe I should eat a bit of crow, but I do think this Medina guy proved he's pretty good. I haven't seen anything of him besides that upset KO of J'leon Love and the fight last night, but I'd guess he's improved, I liked the way he fought a lot and he was tough as nails. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see him give Callum Smith a hard go as well, and I think he could beat Groves of late.

Nah, you've no need to eat crow, you've not been proven wrong. That's the thing about Degale, maybe he is the best, maybe I expect too much. But it's just that each time he fights, he leaves a load of questions unanswered and I always get the impression he's not at it.

[SlimTrae]

Could it be that Degale fight up/down to the Level of competition?


Interesting that Jack got a controversial draw with a guy Librado Andrade almost beat save the ref- and Cobra'd by Froch.

Is it me, or does Medina remind anyone of Glen Johnson? Nothing spectacular, but a strong, solid, fundamentally sound fighter who pressures more athletic opponents and gives them hell in close/disputable fights. I thought Degale won, but Medina gets noticeably better with each loss, and that should worry the elite of the division.

[Dark Lord Al]

Both Jack and Degale are nothing more than strong international class operators , they are not and never will be real champions.
Both are garbage strap holders.
