I love that these fights are just available on YT... full version. Awesome
Sugar Ray: Dirrell is really setting this man up... Dirrell is down!
Instablaster
Watching this after the Eubank defeat. Sad to see how shot Chunky is now.
Yeah the jack fight took everything out of him he stayed hit unfortunately
Yeah he had so many injuries and tough fights back to back the Bute fight was the start then the Jack fight was so damaging
Chunky wasn't too far past his prime. He was never that good even in his prime as he lost to groves and struggled against 1 fighter that callum smith destroyed
@@sexydudeuk2172 Lmao. He was shot to bits mate. And the Groves fight could have went either way, a lot of people had DeGale winning.
@@ReservoirPunk he wasn't shot. He was still good enough and gave eubanks a fight also for the European title degales cardio played in and he got hit too much in that fight and he also struggled against mouhammedi who callum smith destroyed and he could only manage a ud win against lucien bute who carl froch destroyed
Dirrell was eating left hands like they were an endangered delicacy. great fight! Congrats to James
animatter , 😂😂👍👍👏👊😅😅😅😅😅😰
Antimatter ThreeThou pmsl
It's weird, because Andre Dirrell totally outclassed Carl Froch in their fight (although Froch got the "win"). But here, Dirrell got soundly beaten by James DeGale, who lost to George Groves, who in turn was beaten twice by Carl Froch. Styles make fights, I guess..
exactly. that's why you can't get wins on paper. You have to fight the fights
Oh and froch destroyed lucian bute. Degale could only decision bute are you forgetting that?
@@sexydudeuk2172 You are right! I had forgotten that actually.
I personally thought Degale should have got the decision against groves.
@@Lamedvavnik It was a pretty close fight actually. My immediate reaction after seeing the fight was that the decision could have gone either way.
I’ve never watched this fight before but that knock down at 10:19 was dirty 😂😂😂😂 your boy got socked hard
*"**19:55**"* Dirrel's chin is underestimated; Unsure if they realise how many knockouts James Degale has on record ? Super fight
This was a phenomenal fight! Bravo to both fighters, champions in there!
12:29 "Good snap on that jab by Dirrell" when he got shook by a right hook...yanks...
setting this man up...lol
+manofonyx2 He was setting him up for a perfect headbutt to the fist man.
Looool 'he is setting him up' BOOM hit with a big left hand, great punch by degale
man of onyx Thats what happens when the commentators are too bias they get exposed
10:13 well you see Direll is really now setting him up... within 5 seconds Degale knockdown... quality biased commentary.
GK Musik Got exposed
you're an idiot
GK Musik I was saying the bias commentary got exposed, dont be so defensive
oh ok my bad sorry dude!
Commentators ruin the fight creating fake images. The guys they hype up be getting whooped.
Was watching this and thinking what the f*** are these commentators watching. Then looked at the comments and realised i wasn't alone.
If you had Dirrell winning then you probably don't follow boxing.
+rob valledy dude this was a close ass fight. I'm from London and slightly more biased towards Degale, but this was definitely close. I had a draw the first time I watched it, watched it repeatedly and got 114-112 for Degale (round 5 was the round I changed). The Judge who had 117-109 is an embarassment
these commentators are so full of shit in the second half of the fight. i had it 116:110 Degale
Sports Talk 79 Close ass fight? London eh? Lol
@@sportstalk7993 "dude" "close ass" sure you're from London 👍
It was close the knock down help him win
Very biased commentating, do they not realise that viewers can see the fight?
I wouldn't say Ray Leonard is but that other asshol* is assessing and promoting a keys to victory fight plan for Dirrell. He's not doing any thing close to similar for Degeale...
your not wrong...all big dirrell fans here
I thought the commentary was bang on. Degale gets lazy. I don't know if its lack of conditioning but walking around with his hands down is just asking to get hit. Whenever he stepped in up, he looked like he had the ability to put doubt in Dirrels mind but he was just content to do nothing in the middle part of the fight
You should see the commentating for broner vs Mikey. They was counting blocked punches. Fuck the commentators.. And judges..
Very intelligent fighting from James. He obviously knew he was ahead, and let Andre punch himself out and push him around - sapping his energy. Very clever. I enjoyed that fight.
American commentators in ANY sport are not close to being as professional, impartial or articulate as their British counterparts.Anyone watching this vid and thinking Dirrell won was obviously influenced by the ridiculous US bias of the commentary team. A crystal clear win for DeGale.
Actually it is the British who are excessively biased in their commentary; they have all the excuses for a British fighter winning. Degale was very "lucky" to win
Zak B Don't be stupid
dirrell better respect and fear degale cause he dished out an ass whoopin! BTW Britain have 11 world title holders at present, what about you yanks?... American boxing is so shit these days you guys support Mexicans and Russians as if they were your own
Pretty sure Lennox Lewis was the undisputed heavyweight champ for quite a while after Barrera v Hamed so he was a joke then? As we're guys like Joe Calzahge, David Haye, Ricky Hatton, Carl Froch. historically the United States has probably achieved more than any other country in boxing but saying the US sees legitimate world champions from Britain who are proven world class as a joke makes you sound like a clown who doesn't even follow the sport.
these commentators are so full of shit in the second half of the fight. i had it 116:110 Degale
25:06 "They want him to start shitting on his punches" haha
This is really sad. Durring Super Six i got lot of hope about Andre Dirrell.
@David boxing101 Why should the fight be over???!!!
Going into the Super6 Dirrell was considered THE man for the USA. Oh and there was some guy with an Olympic gold medal. First round of fights happen and Froch gets a lucky decision against Dirrell where as this guy, Andre Ward, beats Kessler in a decisive fashion. Sure there was a few headbutts in there but Kessler was widely considered #1 and favourite to win the tournament. Fast forward several years later and Ward retires as one of the greatest 168 lbers ever, Dirrell will not even be a foot note.
Dirrel coud have been better if he bottle held up.
Dirrell lacked heart and discipline
@@sexydudeuk2172 No Olympic silver medalist lacks heart. Nonsense.
Excellent fight, my favourite fight of the year so far. Rematch!! I had Dirrell winning by one point, but it was a really tight match, no idea how one card read 117-109 for DeGeale.
e lewis , ? ? need glasses ?
watch the fight without sound then you will understand. these commentators are so full of shit in the second half of the fight. i had it 116:110 Degale
What a good fight ! Both of them so talented !
I've never seen trainers being interviewed during a fight like that haha
I was thinking the same thing
hahaha 23:09 Dirrell getting destroyed "And Dirrell gets in one of his best punches"... continues to take huge shots... "And as the round comes to an end, Dirrell finishes strong"... What fucking fight are they watching?!
Think he genuinely mixed them up. Not biased just incompetent.
At least Dirrell turned up to fight against DeGale. Against Froch he ran without throwing punches, continuously held on in the clinch, threw himself to the floor at every opportunity, and ducked so low at times that Froch only had the top of his head to punch. Clearly he was afraid of Froch's power.
stayed up to watch James win his world title back then. He deserved it
Why did DeGale take rounds 7, 8, 9 & 10 off? He made it a lot closer than it really needed to be.
Heard he was all about that party and playboy lifestyle that’s why he never stayed really active
Cos his cardio wasn't the best
Dirrell is a perfect example that just because you can fight left handed don't mean you can fight a left hander. He throwing orthodox counters at a lefty
Degale was superb
It is good that we can see the boxing match that you can see if you have to work nights
Good Referring made it a great fight, Degale was brilliant. Adjusting like a Champ.
"cut the shit out"
silverspear21 What's up with you
EL RAFA I was quoting the ref, he kept saying that early on so I thought it was relevant to your comment about him making it good fight. I agreed.
silverspear21 cool
Degale was never that good even in his prime. His cardio wasn't the best and did get hit too often in certain fights
Andre thinking dam, I should've took a knee during a punch its always worked before!
This is why I love PBC. The only show their missing now is the Dirrell vs Badou Jack.
id like to ask that commentator who josh smith is?...just after the 10 minute mark
Would have loved to see Andre ward vs James degale similar styles
Ward however had a better gas tank and defence then degale and was able to adapt
Yo I like this kid Degale...
When he's on the floor after Degale KO's him? ;) (Degale will woop Smith)
Smith is good but i feel he will be like the rest of his brothers and fall a bit short of true world class. He hasn't fought anybody of note yet.
@@Two_Seat_Pete_FatA55 And he ended up being the best Smith brother (so far) :)
Yeah, although i'd say Liam Smith has only lost to two very good fighters. Callum did great against Groves, but there's always going to be that question about if Groves was anywhere near his best after the shoulder injury. I think the next couple of fights will give us a true indication of where Callum is at for sure. Can't knock what he's done, but it just can't be ignored that Groves was never going to be the same after that bad injury.
Good point. I rooted for Groves, but think his tactic wasn't the best. Smith wasn't impressive in the last 2-3 fights, so he thought he could bang with him and was punished. Too bad Groves retired, he has a few big fights in him left. In my opinion he was #1 in super middle, so it only makes sense that Smith took his spot. What I'd like to see is Zurdo sticking around a little more, so they can fight. 175 is already more interesting even without him.
Hi to everyone re-watching this before the DeGale vs Jack fight.
i got Jack
What’s the name of dirrells walkout song
Dirrell is the poor man's Andre Ward.
If he kept his hands up and maintained a steady defense he would step up a whole grade as a fighter. He also would've beat Degale decisively.
Dirrel is way more exciting to watch than ward. Never seen an exciting ward fight
tj baby lol that’s a pretty good description
Dirrell lost lots of speed and footwork throughout the years which is weird Because he had a long lay off without a actual ass whooping.
"Round 10, another good round for Dirrell" - Really? He falls short with almost every shot he throws, DeGale works him over on the inside and then towards the end of the round, he gets caught mid-combination and staggers into DeGale. Not sure how they missed the left hook that takes Dirrell's legs away. 35:02.
+834373i it actually was a good round for dirrell, he did get caught with 1 punch at 35:05 but it was while he was in the middle of a combination where he lands 4 of 8 punches. degale actually was missing big looping lefts and dirrell was touching him with a lot of punches but not landing with full impact. dirrell lands clean left hook at the end.
fact is he went in over confident and emotional and them are the 2 things u dont want to do against a tough fighter that packs a punch. degale gets away with wreckless movement wild swinging, even when he did land combinations they are not too skillful, but he has this awkward herky jerky movement, dirrell is the more skilled fighter, but u got to fight smart not with emotion, like he did in this fight right from the first rd. in a rematch he beats degale guaranteed. degale had him hurt and didnt finish him and dirrell came back and did good in the latter rds, and he was still on wobbley legs thruout the fight. i want to see a rematch or degale vs anthony. i like degale, that style frustrates guys, almost amatuerish style. but he has it working, so credit to him. big win over bute also.
+rick rich Fucking finally someone speaks some sense, I agree with everything you said, however in this fight I think that as a whole in this fight; Direll definitely outboxed Degale. the knockdowns helped him scrape it. its just that overhand left is so dangerous, its almost Marcos Maidanaish. With the correct gameplan from Direll in a rematch I think the only feasible way Degale beats him is through knockout, the guy was fighting buzzed and was still winning multiple rounds in a row
lol, a pretty good fighteer called golovkin
Round 1 - 10-10 - 10-10 Round 2 - 10-7 Degale - 20-17 Degale Round 3 - 10-9 Degale - 30-26 Degale Round 4 - 10-9 Dirrell - 39-36 Degale Round 5 - 10-9 Dirrell - 48-46 Degale Round 6 - 10-9 Degale - 58-55 Degale Round 7 - 10-9 Dirrell - 67-65 Degale Round 8 - 10-9 Dirrell - 76-75 Degale Round 9 - 10-9 Dirrell - 85-85 Round 10 - 10-9 Dirrell - 95-94 Dirrell Round 11 - 10-9 Degale - 104-104 Round 12 - 10-9 Degale - 114-113 Degale Close fight, I think Degale just edged it, but Dirrell, after a terrible start, what a rally, he nearly took this win from Degale.
where is the black from?
Kenny Rice is an awful commentator so biased towards Dirrel every other guy on the commentary team scored rounds 2 to 6 for Degale and Rice is saying "strong round for Dirrell" at the end of them Degale would bounce a big right hook off Dirrells head and Rice said nice Jab by Dirrell is the guy on drugs? I thought it was very close but Degale just edged it he needs to stop having so many lazy spells in fights.
Andre was special all his losses was close and his defense was his downfall
I'm from the UK but what's all this shit about bias commentary? Dirrell is a good boxer and has a good jab. DeGale is dangerous but he needs to throw straight punches. His jab is inaccurate and that's the reason he lost to Groves because Groves has a great long game.
+Joshua Harper groves is finished
+Darren Holdsworth he is now!
yeah i shouldnt have said that, he was only seconds away from being world champ in the 1st froch fight
+Hulk Hogan mocking a guy because of his appearance is pretty damn low. So what if he's balding? he's still more alpha male than you'll ever be douchebag
degale beat groves.... I've watched that fight soooooo many times cuz I thought I was had missed something but he done him by 2 or 3 rounds
Very best skill
dirrell let his emotions get to him. or he dominated this fight everytime. he cant get so frustrated like that already in the first round.
This may sound crazy but looking back at this fight, this is almost exactly how the Ward-Kovalev fight played out. Early knockdown in the second (2 knockdowns in this fight), and an almost movie-type of rally to bring the fight back. And here this fight could have played out the same way. Dirrell could have gotten the know depending on how the 11th and 12th round was scored or even a draw. In the kovalev-ward fight it could have gone either way or even a draw as well. Two extremely close fights.
Robert Moore dude this fight also reminded me of the ward kovalev fight it was really very similar!! Strange and weird o. O
Robert Moore I was thinking same thing
Not sound, this is crazy. Ward lost badly and Dirrell not lost at all. Ward has little come back in rounds 5, 7 and 8. But rounds 9-12 is Kovalev come back. DeGale was outbox, he has claim to win this fight, because he hurt and drop Dirrell couple times, but in boxing match, he was outclass. Kovalev never was outbox. Ward did. There is no single round Ward outclass Kovalev. On the other hand Dirrell beating up DeGale in numerous rounds.
beniamingt how the fuck did Ward losse the 12 round wtf.watch the round again plse
Was hurt by body shot.
I'm from UK and I had Dirrell winning this. Degale took his foot off the gas after the knockdown as if he had done enough, and Dirrell came back in it for me
+Algo Algo Watch it again with no commentary. It's amazing how yattering bias yanks can influence opinions.
Commentator said “get away from the left hand as a matter of fact move to his left…..” 😑
It is not that the commentators are inherently biased - They are being paid to sell a product. The fighter. Think about it. They are being paid to say what they are saying. Not being paid to be impartial but being paid to sell. Think deeper, everyone. Think more.
This commentary is dreadful.
de gale has improved a lot thinks he whoops martin murray abraham jack callum smith all those easily
+floyd who doesn't whoop abraham? haha
+Nicolas Doré after his performance against Murray I think he does... let's see how he looks against bute
+umar thomas he will lose
+9dangerous1 abraham should have drew with Murray
umar thomas hmmm maybe, idk but I have the felling that degale will lose against Bute.
he threw his hands up sometimes but yea andre and anthony both do it but at least andre throws combos anthony somply relys on his power which wont do him shit if the guy can take a punch or defend against it being kinda slow and all.
Dirrell wears his emotions on his face! He could be a little more stealthy.
Close fight. DeGale took a nap in rounds 7-10 and then woke up to take the title. 117-109!? What the hell was that jugde watching?
Those commentators are crazy. DeGale took the guy to the cleaners. It's good to see that the judges had it right.
I had it 117-110 to Degale. Giving the 1st round as a 10-10. I thought the commentary gave dirrell too much credit for rounds 6-10.
I'd like to see George Groves win a title, then Degale and Groves fight for number three (one in the amateurs). They hate each other.
DeGale is the truth. He will be dominant at 168.Id love to see DeGale vs Jack, then, Degale vs GGG
George Karpouzis Jack had them hands for Degale
Yes he did. I was surprised by the result but always knew that Jack has a high work rate. It's that work rate that caused that damage.
Really tough fight to score. Watching without the commentators I had it a draw
you're probably american
. Rezinator I don't see how that matters either way
it shouldn't matter, but yanks score it for dirrell/draw and neutrals score it for the winner
Looking at these 2 excellent boxers we can see why GGG wouldn't fight any of them as he would only have a punchers chance
There seems to be a glitch in The Matrix. 🧐
why was the commentaters calling him anthony?
+Jonathan Hickey Laziness
His brother name as anthony honest mistake
apples and pears indeed
That second judge should have been baned from judging. No way this fight was 117-109 scorecard. WTF was he watching???
yes outright ignorance..i had it draw..wouldnt be mad at a 1 point win for degale
Good fight that. Think Degale even with his usual laziness won but not by 117-109 it was pretty close.
That was the judge who gave it to dirrell you mong
@@leesurman2331 It was a UD, ''you mong''
Criminally underrated Dirrell and the overachieving Degale! 2 Southpaws make for ugly fights. Dirrell was schooling Dirrell for first 2 rounds and then BOOM. Idioting commentator saying no defense. Dirrell is a defensive Michigan style fighter. The reason he got caught is Degale throws a LOOPING hand, so it goes around the guard. People swear if you don't fight like Canelo with a high guard you can't defend. I'm a guy who's never watched either, but I can't see how Degale won he gave away most rounds with low work rate, and back tracking after the knockdowns.
The Dirrell brothers are just bullies who both met fighter's who had more skill and heart... Chunky is the Real Deal, great boxer... speed, power, slickness and ring savvy... Him an Jack are the true Champs, both fought to a draw... ever since Andre got hit dirty behind the head by Abraham he hasn't been the same... Soooo sad.. #Fearoftheunknown
Bias commentating has to stop . imma start watching the fights on mute. 😆 so I can see who really landing
I think eubank may have a problem
It’s something about Andre Dirrell that irritates me.
im sry i cant talk now xD
Hi to anyone watching before the Eubank fight
Degale left it too close there.
Never a fan of degale. Just his attitude but this win was epic
anybody who thinks dirrell won this fight should not apply to be a fight judge anytime soon......thanks.
I just can't watch dirrell now, to frustrating.
LOLOL And people had the nerve to think Regale could hang with Andre Ward lolol Regale would get his wild ass picked apart....he needs to get a new trainer and tighten up his game !!
when degale hit dirrell on the break dirrell made a feminie sound lol
Degale needs to act less cocky in his fights and be more serious and less lazy.
Not feeling the WWE-style ring entrances. Keep it old school with the training entourage walking with the fighter.
Degeale vs uzcategui
Badou jack can dominate this division because of his style, I know im late
I had Dirrell winning this, Degale got too lax after the kockdown and Dirrell got back in the fight
Abraham would be too much for Degale who has no stamina.
these commentators are so full of shit in the second half of the fight. i had it 116:110 Degale
degale will get k.o bad one of these days but his boxing IQ is under rated. I like him. but this fight was really close,dirrel won ever round after 7 clearly. But i understand why they gave the fight to degale in championship fights, those are able to knockdown the opponent and win a couple rounds should win the fight.
so that's 5rds iyo which wouldn't be enough...
Degale deserved this fight. He's hungry like Dirrell was several yrs ago. Dirrell took off too much time and him firing his uncle was stupid.
I had Dirrell Winning ...He won the last 5 rds
This DeGale would beat ANYBODY at 168. Hands down
No way. Froch and calzaghe would have destroyed him
This version of Chunky could have beaten anybody at 168lbs... too bad that he started getting delusional thinking he was some power puncher like Marvin Hagler. That come forward style he developed after this fight killed his career.
James DeGale won a clear Unanimous Decision after 12 rounds.
17-09 Wtf was he watching
the froch that fought bute would steamroll james
I had this fight 113-113, could have went one round either way. Epic second round by DeGale and underrated comeback by Direll. Really depends on how the championship rounds are scored.
Like a sack of potatoes.
Dirrell very talented, Undedicated. Shame.
To bad ward ducked both these guys in his prime
Ward had problems with his promoter and moved up a weight class
Andre Dirrell looks completely different than he did in the fight against Badou Jack. I don't even recognize him here. He looks like a much better fighter. He looked amateurish in the Jack fight.
Draw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
agreed
