Official: Badou Jack vs Lucian Bute / James Degale vs Rogelio Medina RBR Thread

[Baltimore]

is GGG can get canelo this year he should move up. 168 looks like shit

Dude I was thinking after seeing the supposed best at 168 tonight and Ramirez a few weeks ago, that GGG can clean this division out just as easily.

Jack should acknowledge he didn't do enough... 117 - 111 is out of this world ...

Now the Division has a problem in Bute who gave problems to both of them ...

Be reasonable, as bad as that may have been, the draw far far more odious.

[BrometheusBob.]

The benefit of this draw is that Zurdo will probably not be dropped to #3 by The Ring, so Jack/DeGale winner would likely need to beat Zurdo to get their recognition as lineal champ.

EDIT: Apparently Zurdo is already #3, was not aware of that.

Yea, good on him. Classy way out of a ****** and embarrassing question.

Yeah man. Freaking Jim Grey putting Bute on the stop there twice.
Bute was like I don't want to be involved in any of this.

[IronDanHamza]

Bute really is a good fighter, a tricky skilled operator.

I expected him to give Degale and Jack problems. But I did feel he lost both fights but he gave a great account of himself in both.

Still only Froch to this day who's destroyed him.

Had the draw on a fourfold accumulator and cashed out

What do mean in regards to Ortiz?

The D.C. Boxing and Wrestling Commission is investigating local D.C. judge Lloyd Scaife according to various reports now being released.

In the bout, Ortiz put a beating on Tony (another hometown guy) knocking him down in the first, third, and final round and thus getting two 10-8 rounds before the end. The two other official judges Tammye Jenkins and Paul Wallace both had Ortiz up on the cards 50-43 correctly reflecting the wipe-out and the two 10-8 rounds.

However, Scaife apparently does not believe in 10-8 rounds despite crunching knockdowns. Incredibly, he scored the fight 48-47 for Ortiz, scoring the first and third rounds 10-9.

Hopefully, the D.C. commission will release a statement as to its findings into this bizarre scoring, but don’t hold your breath.

What do mean in regards to Ortiz?

One of the judges (an 80 year old man who subsequently retired) had Thompson v Ortiz a draw.

Edit; see post above. Was Ortiz by1.

Jack vs Degale

Bute-Medina

Make it happen

This is what I was thinking.
It would be a good card. Medina deserves another shot for sure.
