BT Sport Fight Night, headlined by DeGale

Yeah 1-2 to not go distance wise

He's pretty good, but not top level. He's only been beaten by world level fighters, jacobs, Dirrell and a pretty shot Jermain Taylor.

i see , so 1-2 for de gale to stop him ?

DeGale loves himself

Degale should beat him handily enough, but it's not too bad a fight for coming back from injury.

Didnt degale get a draw against badou jack in america ?

yeah

well Jack is a top class fighter so thats good form

3 super middleweights & 2 featherweights in respective world top 10's with 100% records & they find roadsweepers

I did hear a while ago though that he likes to party a bit

Degale that is

yeah hence me saying DeGale will stop Truax. DeGale is a good boxer, but not very likeable because he's arrogant

1/2 sounds good to me for Degale to stop him, but Degale sometimes sleepwalks through a fight if he's not under pressure

Degale been out for almost a year, and coming back from injury, so who knows what sort of energy levels he's got just now. Sometimes he can be a bit lazy as well.

yeah could end up being lazy and winning on points instead

Ive done de gale to stop him and had a few quid on 7-9 round stoppage

But looking at it im not so sure , he looks a bit rusty as you say

8-1 truax now from 14s

you never know anxious. It's early in the fight. Degale might get into gear later in the fight, but it's no surprise to see him treading water a bit in the early rounds.

6s now truax  365

OMG!

ffs

Chunky DeFail

wtf is he doing there

talk to me Des

your best bet is if Truax punches himself out, he is the older man, after all.

Degale's dentist has Xmas money sorted

saw him 1/200 on 365 before r1....

Yes he was 1-200 on 365 before the fight

The judges probably gave Degale the 5th

"i'm winning"... listen to the arrogant idiot. I really hope he loses.

still time for degale to turn it round, but he'll have to get his asre in gear very soon.

Eubank will uppercut Defail's teeth into lunar orbit

He looks shot

degale 8-15  draw 14s truax 8-5  365

Truax will learn that you can come over and beat our boxers , but our judges are a level above

Truax needs to chin him again

got him again!

GO ON CALEB, CHIN HIM!

This is going to be close , degale wont stop him now anyway

Woodhall just scored the 8th to Degale , erm

Degale needs a robbery, imo.

depends what happens in these last 3 rounds Des

Judges will have Degale 7-2 up . I've not seen a round he's won since I started paying attention

by rights that truax is about 2 rounds up i think

This is a beatdown

This robbery will be off the scale

tobes, I don't think they'll rob Truax. DeGale got a favour last time out against Jack

I think Chunky DeFail is about to be dethroned

de gale 4-6 truiax 11-10

split decision coming up robbery or draw (which would also be a robbery)

DeGale is finished at the top level

looks so ploddish

flat foot planting, so slow

AND THE NEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Truax wins barring the robbery, imo.

365 have it 4-7 degale 2-1 truax

I gave Degale the last 2 , but Truax the previous 6

I wasn't really watching first 4

yes, right decision.

Justice

TRUAX WINS

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Dave parris tried his best for James. LOL

Degale should retire now. He doesn't have the heart for hard fights.

DeGale thought he won it

What were the SPs here ?

Warren ha ha

He must have taken a bump on the head or something.

Demspsey the fool on the radio this morning said Degale was world class

Bunce thought Degale won ffs

Degale started about 1.04 or something, unless I'm mistaken.

Fair play Frank says Caleb won

1-200 on 365 Des

Commentators watching a different fight to the one I was watching. Truax didn't win by much, thought the judges got it right.

The best tip I can give you about boxing is ignore the commentators and the so-called experts.

Yep your right there

Truax was 2.9 between the end of the 12th round and the suspend for the scorecards.

yea, noticed that. It's not unusual. A lot of people take the commentators comments as gospel.

he was 1/100 in all the bookies....1/200 in some. I cant remember a bigger upset oddswise...i think devon alexander lost a few years back at 1/100. but i can't think of many more at those odds. he was 1.03 on here before the fight but on here it is rare you can't get 1/100 even on a 1/10000 shot pre fight as long as it is a known boxer.

I said a few months ago that Eubank Jnr would bet Degale and Groves. I still stand by that. If Degale ever steps in the ring with Eubank he will get spanked. I think Eubank will beat Groves as well.

Cotto was about 1.04 last weekend. I didn't see the market for that though

Eddie must be seething Callum Smith is tied up so he can't bung Truax a load of money for Smith vs Truax super PPV at Anfield.

DeGale can end up pretty stuffed here. He's totally reliant on Haymon giving him a rematch out of good will, he always goes on about being close with Haymon so now we will see, because on face of it hard to see Haymon caring about DeGale when I assume he has better American prospects to feed this belt to instead.

DeGale has no real fanbase so the market worth for a rematch is rather low, and no promoter to invest and put up loads of money for the rematch either. So not going to be easy when Truax will probably want 10x the money he got tonight for a rematch.

Is a good shout, I thought he started 1.02 here tbh, and you only really get real knockover jobs start @ 1.02 here, I can't really remember a 1.02 ever losing off the top of my head.

Khan was 1.08 vs Prescott is shortest I can think of immediately.

Cotto was 1.12 here last week Wisewords.

Generally when these super short odds get in trouble, they always seem to win in the end, sometimes controversially, but always seem to win in the end.

I gave Degale the last 2 , but Truax the previous 6

I wasn't really watching first 4

That explains why pretty much every post you made on this fight, giving your opinion, is wrong then?

DeGale is well and truly stuffed.

Got to laugh at the guy.
Goes and does the hard work for several years and then returns and throws it away.

Any goodwill the guy seems to acquire is lost as soon as he opens his gob.

tonight's card they are all 1.01...never seen a card like it. taylor and ward the only ones who aren't 1/100
