With James DeGale’s career in tatters Groves and Eubank Jr put the boot in

12/10/2017 James Slater

Fans witnessed a huge boxing upset last night as James DeGale lost his super-middleweight belt to big betting underdog Caleb Truax – a decent fighter who proved he is nobody’s tune-up or anything close to it.

Outworking the UK star, Truax hurt the southpaw known as “Chunky,” coming close to stopping him in the middle rounds of what was an action fight. With this defeat, though it is just the second of his pro career, DeGale faces an uncertain future; while DeGale’s earlier, pre-defeat claims that he is the best in the world at 168 and the pound-for-pound best boxer in his homeland now look quite foolish indeed.

Floyd Mayweather asks, “Are they [the judges] being paid under the table?” after Jack-DeGale draw

01/17/201701/16/2017 James Slater

As fight fans are probably aware, superstar Floyd Mayweather had plenty to say, both before, during and after Saturday night’s big 168-pound unification fight between his fighter Badou Jack and Britain’s James DeGale. But it is what “Money” said after the controversial draw that saw both warriors keep their belt, that has attracted the most attention.

Mayweather was furious over the decision that denied Jack from adding the IBF title to the WBC he already holds, and he has even questioned whether the judges are “being paid under the table?” Mayweather is so angry, he is quoted, by The Mirror, as saying he may not come back to New York to promote any future fights.
