I've just watched the DeGale fight and the Lara fight
Both good scraps, DeGale doesn't have long left I don't think, he did well and the cut was causing him problems hence him trying out the orthodox stance which is something I can't remember seeing him do before (I could be wrong though) but regardless of that, he doesn't look the same fighter that he did a few years back, having said that I wouldn't be surprised if him and Truax had another fight and the decision went the other way next time, them pair will always just have scrappy close fights.
What the fuck was Bird doing taking a point off for the shoulder, fucking ridiculous that was, the best part of the fight was watching just how little attention Floyd was paying to it which was made all the more obvious by that silly big red hat he was wearing.
I was backing Lara before the fight started but Hurd was just so much bigger he bullied him and the knockdown in the last round made a huge different to the fight so there can't be any complaints, a split decision was more than fair.
The commentator on BoxNation done my fucking head in, how many times did he have to remind us that it was the first time the belts would have been unified since 2000, and I've never heard anyone constantly refer to Lara as Larda before...and why does he scream 'HE'S GOT A LACERATION' is it purely because it sounds more dramatic that 'He's got a cut'
