1-0 to the Brits. Very easy win for Degale. Was far too quick and had far too many skills for the Sutherland. I think the commentator put it well - "The bull and the matador". Very impressed by Degale there.
I'm sure you'll make it 1-1 though

Yeah Sutherland was totally outclassed, didn't treat him with enough respect i'd say as he'd beaten him 4 times before. |

I was a bit surprised, too. I thought Sutherland would have made a better fist of it (!  ). |

The Sutherland vs. Degale match-up should be a fiery affair. There is no love lost between these 2 - a while back after Sutherland had beaten Degale, Degale wouldn't shake his had, he thought he was robbed. He was not robbed at all it was just sour grapes.
Roll on Friday! |

Paddy Barnes is unlucky here, he is loosing but he has landed a few clean shots to the face and no points. Blatent cheating going on

1-1 for me. I think Egan will beat Jeffries no problem, hes looked pretty average. Degale however has improved as a boxer since his last match up with Sutherland where they both took standing counts. It really could go either way in that one but im going to say the brit! |
I did pretty well me thinks!
Price got banged about a bit thought didnt he? |

Indeed.
The 2 points for biting looked a bit dodgy
But when Degale gave it back I though level pegging.
Didn't even see his 16 point.

High drama - not a "perfect fight", lot of rough stuff, but Degale held it together admirably under what looked to me like pretty extreme provocation - and I thought the refereeing poor, as well.
Right result - congrats to Degale! |

Well done to Kenny Egan on the silver. It was always going to be difficult to beat the Chinese guy in the light heavyweight final, and a congratualtion to Jeffries for the bronze.

| Yes, I thought Egan did really well. Congrats to him - must have been hard with the home crowd and all. |
