Nathan Cleverly v Tony Bellew / Piotr Wilczewski v James Degale

[armin]

Degale gave that round away by not doing nothing imo

[superheavyrhun]

Silly boy Degale, just left the good work of the last few rounds and dropped the workrate. You've got to go out and impress if you want to take a title, and I'm not convinced that Degale has done that so far.

[armin]

I got it fairly close and gave the last two to piotr

[superheavyrhun]

Good fight all in all, Degale will probably have edged it, especially with his best round of the fight in the 12th.

Degale looked as though he was tired going into the fight. He'll need to hope that the home advantage gives him the nudge he needs, which considering it's a Warren promotion, he probably will do.

[armin]

Degale by a round or two probably, but he better stay away from the top dogs for a few years, might be getting moved along a bit to quickly, maybe time to put the brakes on. Credit to both guys, and to the ref even for doing a nice job and not interfering to much, I hope its not 118 110 cause that's shit

[superheavyrhun]

114-114, 113-115, 113-115. And the new....
Degale is a very lucky boy, and that guy who called the draw once again ruins what I was sure was going to be an awesome week of fights for me in the prediction competition.

If Degale really does have higher ambitions, he needs to step it up big time.

[armin]

Can't complain about those scores honestly, and if it was in poland it probably would have went the other way...then again tho I keep thinking I would have rather been piotr in that fight...

[armyash]

Doesnt deserve euro title coming off a loss but.....Buncey has a good point that was a tough long fight for someone with that amount of fights.

Bet he shit it when he heard majority decision though! lol

did he do his stupid pose before the fight? he seems to have been humbled for sure. Did like the interview in BN this week he did admit he probably took things a bit far with Groves.

[Master]

De gale deserved the decision, good learning fight for him.

[armin]

De gale deserved the decision, good learning fight for him.

And yeah no argument here, but he needs to stay away from world class for a few years. Piotr was good but he's probably two steps below the top dogs and gave degale all he could handle. Slow it down and let degale develop some more and not rush him to world class...

[superheavyrhun]

No messing about tonight is there. Straight on to the main event, I'm liking it. Come on Clevlar.

[superheavyrhun]

God Bless You Both? Interesting intro from Richie Davies.

[superheavyrhun]

Decent opening, better shots from Cleverly, and I reckon 10-9 to the champion. Not that the home crowd agree.

[armin]

Nice first round perhaps an overreaction by ref but might be the way to keep it a clean fight

[superheavyrhun]

Another interesting round of boxing, Bellew with a good first 90 seconds that looked to have Cleverly in trouble, but dodging some of the shots, and recovered fine. 19-19.
