On The Watch “It’s All About Caleb Truax vs James DeGale”

IBF Super Middleweight Championship

Last night James DeGale (24-2-1, 14 Kos) redeemed himself at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. DeGale regained his IBF Super Middleweight Title that he lost last December to Caleb Truax (29-4-2, 18 Kos) by winning a 12 round unanimous decision.

Sh*t wasn’t pretty but his performance was much improved from his previous outing. Caleb pretty much stuck to the same game plan as the last time, aggressive pressure at all time but the difference this time is that DeGale defended in the pocket much better with better movement.

This was a do or die bout for DeGale. Win or retire. He had no other option but to come out on top on this night. He again took some heavy shots but this time he didn’t fold he kept his work rate up just enough to seal the deal.

With this win and IBF Title back in his possession, DeGale is back “On Top” but to hold on to his belt my Dude is gonna have to step his game up and sharpen up his skills on his next Title defense cause them Dudes next in line in the Division are real hungry to snatch that belt from his hands. Real Talk!

Until then congratulations on your win Champ, now stay working.

On The Watch “It’s All About James DeGale vs Caleb Truax”

IBF Super Middleweight Championship

Wow!!! When cherry picking goes wrong??? Tonight at the Copper Box Arena in London, England, a battered and bruised DeGale (23-2-1, 14Kos) got his butt handed to him in front of his home crowd. REAL TALK! What was supposed to be a tune-up fight in his first fight back in 11 months after shoulder surgery, turned out to be a hell of a dogfight for James DeGale.

I think that DeGale and his team dropped the ball when they chose #15 IBF Caleb Truax (29-3-2, 18 Kos) as an assumed easy mark for his comeback fight.

Caleb studied the game plan on how to beat DeGale and executed it to a “T” tonight. Caleb’s non-stop pressure and busy hands were troubling DeGale all night with no answer to his aggressive style. To me DaGale looked shaky and unsure in that squared circle. Caleb did a great job at cutting the ring off and controlling every round. I have to tip my “B” hat to Caleb for stepping up to the challenge at hand and outclassing James DeGale on his home soil by snatching the IBF Belt and becoming the New Super Middleweight Champion.

Tonight the odds were against you and you defied them all and came out on top.
Congratulations Champ on a win well deserved.
