I disagree, I followed his all his fights ever since he lost to Geroge Groves. I think Degale has over achieved due to good management. He is an all rounder boxing, nothing special.
Very good quality upload! Degale clearly won, the person who didnt know a lot about boxing thought bute won or a least a draw, argued against a loss cause and decided to delete his post eventually :) Degale is very slick and showed tremendous class by making a first defence of his title in bute's backyard.
sometimes as a prizefighter you need that cocky arrogance I realize degales not everyone's cup of tea but theirs no denying he's one of the most improved fighters in the world and a loyal guy he's been with his trainer from the beginning that speaks volumes about his character.
Lucian's championship days may be behind him, but he can still make a good fight. He still has heart. A terrific effort by both fighters. Not a bad fight at all.
ye as long as he's taking steroids then he can continue to keep making good fights. thought it was fishy how well conditioned he looked in both this fight and badou jacks even before it was announced but he definitely lost both judges fucked up on scoring jacks fight he was robbed that victory
Thanks for the upload. I've got virgin with BTSport and Box nation but I still had to watch this British World champion fight on you tube after I already knew the result... Oh, why is degale so horrible.
First time I have seen this fight. Man, very entertaining fight. And while Bute never really appears to be out of the fight at all, James won fair and square, by some rounds my in my knownothing opinion. Pretty gutsy also, of Degale, the rough tactics used in front of ref Wright and in Bute's hometown
I remember watching this fight on Sky. The US commentators give Degale much more credit than whoever it was on Sky. DeGale never really got a lot of praise from UK commentators. This was a good performance in Bute's home city and a very good fight.
The crowd cheering after the 5th? It looked like Bute was doing something cause Degale was picking him off on the back foot but I bet no judge gave that round to Bute.
He’s been brilliant for British boxing done it all then you get ego maniacs like Eubank jr who’s done fk all James de gale has every rite to be cocky he’s worked for it well done
I had it 4 to 2 after 6 but different rounds than Farhood. Minute to minute it was competitive but smart choices where to work made this 4 to 8 rounds for DeGale.
+B-Rai87 He's building one heck of a resume. I like his mindset; He seems to be looking for good fights, not just cherry picks to preserve his belt. He recently mentioned Stevenson at 175 and Golovkin at 168.
Great fight... bute an groves need to fight slugger vs slugger... Degale is a Very entertaining fighter, movement, speed and power... should be Champ for along time... Respect to the UK... y'all got boxing on Lock!😤💀😤☠️
I had it 116-112 in favour of James DeGale. Great effort from Bute though, considering he was already clearly past his prime and he faced someone who was in his (and also a better boxer).
Bute looked very up for it and fought well, but I think the Crowd made is feel closer than it was, fairly clear UD for Degale, but Bute proved he is still a good fighter.
Bute great fighter,hated watching him lose.I seen him in Montreal on Showbox,instant fan.That arena was rocking! I wanted to drive to Montreal to watch him fight there.Seeing how his Fan's were for him when he was undefeated,.Love world boxing!!!
@@seablockwhere the fuck did you count that? 😂 all the world said that it should bee I draw and I rematch next, and only I couple of comments ho counted 8 to 4 in I good case because backdays some others give d all the match to Degale
@@Rdgvideo1989 The world didn't actually call it a draw. Those in Canada did. However, the rest of the world laughed at that. Degale clearly won. This comment section isn't going to tell the story on the fight as most who are making comments are Bute fans. They're the ones who will come back and watch it and comment the most. Also, the reason to why Bute performed better than he had in the past against Degale and the fight before that with Di Luisa was down to the juice he was caught with. Before the Di Luisa fight he was shot. He'd been mentally damaged by Froch. But all of a sudden he's performing closer to his best. I did think it was suspicious. Well, now we know what it was.
@@seablock oo yeah and the judges no? When I fighter hits one shot and the other back's down I thinck he win's tge round, in this fight when Degale hits one serie of 5 shots and only 3 are clear, and then back's down for entire round I thinck he lost the round😉 it's the same thing like paquiao vs mahwheter when manny paquiao and much more claimed that he won the fight because Maywhetear had too much no-kombat moments, 😉. And if you call me I Bute fan you should now that I never said that he won this fight, I never said that he did I draw with badou jack😆 he clearly lost that fight. I'm saying that with Degale it was I draw and if many said this why Degale didn t whant I rematch? What happend afther this match with Degale? How do you know he has brain dammage?
+ff kk , You are very stupid! I don't like paper champions, that's all :-)) I would never ask an autograph from a paper champion or a fraud like him. I say what a lot of people are saying: Bute is a bum and his fans don't know shit about boxing! Losers! ;-)
I don't even like DeGale but I had him winning the first 8 rounds. Great performance from him. Really landed all the quality punches in the fight and dictated the pace.
Degale is just a exciting fighter....I was at the Jack fight in January. Thought it was a draw tho I understand people's questioning of that decision....jack landed such harder thudding shots. Live you heard jack connect but degale was busier. Hope he comes back to Brooklyn or at least a new fight within this year. His sis is a babe, off topic.
close? really?! I thought Degale demolished him, the crowd screamed when bute moved his fists, but not a word when degale kept landing flush. I give bute 3 rounds 4 MAX but at a push
Bute needs to avoid British fighters at the moment, Froch dismantled him like he was nothing, Degale out boxed him, out worked him. I've always said Bute was over rated.
Eric George I'm not sure how he became so feared, looking at his record, yeah he's alright but no where near kessler,froch, tayler and these were not elites them self.
Eric George Well I'm a huge Froch fan, but Ward was/is Elite and he really out classed Froch, they could have fought 100 times and he'd have lost 100 times to Ward. This is not elite to me, the elite are the top men/man in the division, Froch was great but he was a shade of elite for me.
He didn't deserved to win, he was favourite by the referees. Boxing is like this. All Romanians fighters I know at one point they been scammed. Good job English people I hope your island shink in the sea along with u English Scottish and Welsh!
Not only did Degale win this fight, but he beat a Bute who was cheating with steroids. Yet you say Romanians are scammed? Who are these Romanians who have been scammed?
@@seablock youu again🤣🤣 I m starting looving you😅😅 I need to agree here because I m romanian and not only Bute was scamed🤣🤣 Badou Jack was too with Degale, Paquiao too, Lenox Lewis with Hollyfield in the first fight too, and the list can go one
What horrible Fans the Canadians are :S I thought they was suppose to be nice people, but those boos were disgusting, when our guy is soundly and easily beat, we can at least clap the winner, if he's from my country or not.
După cum sa bătut Bute ,și eu am curajul sa fac un meci cu el ,și nu cred căci se va vedea mare diferență între el și mine Este super slab ,numai numele este de el căci box 🥊 nu cunoaște de loc
Degale is one of those guys that should be way more famous and popular then he is. One heck of a talent.
Lpool FC he is without doubt one of the most exciting and talented fighters in the u.k.
I disagree, I followed his all his fights ever since he lost to Geroge Groves. I think Degale has over achieved due to good management. He is an all rounder boxing, nothing special.
uh no. even in his prime degale was never that good. he beat no one that good.
@@sexydudeuk2172he was very good and could've been better imo

Much respect for the Brit Fighter but Bute its no joke its a formidable athlete,with a heart of a warrior!
froch did better. he destroyed bute and bute was younger back then
Lucian's championship days may be behind him, but he can still make a good fight. He still has heart. A terrific effort by both fighters. Not a bad fight at all.
championship days?
nikosvault
He was the IBF Super Middleweight champion for over 4 years. He defended the belt 9 times.
ye as long as he's taking steroids then he can continue to keep making good fights. thought it was fishy how well conditioned he looked in both this fight and badou jacks even before it was announced but he definitely lost both judges fucked up on scoring jacks fight he was robbed that victory
Bute is more dynamic technique-wise at 35 and Degale was slick as hell. Both made a new fan out of me tonight.
Degale 7-5, hell of a fight.
Lucian bute! Thumbs Up ;)

Easy to argue 4 9 12 going to Bute.
Bute definitely won 9... But yeah chunky won comfortably.
Yeah, I feel he edged it as well, although Adonis Stevenson felt otherwise. It'd be interesting to see how both of them could perform with GGG.
+sachb44 Probably 3-4-5-9-11-12 Bute for the Draw. 3 was very tight.
+sachb44 I think it depends what weight. I think ggg wins at middle but stepping up to super I'd give it to degale
Bravo bute ai câștigat
Fight of the year .
bravo Lucian, meciul asta a fost clar al tau. felicitari

that was a fight, shame you don't see them too offen
ggg vs degale would be a hell of a fight and i would pay top doller to watch it
ggg stops him imo, good fight though for sure
Great fight
Bute deserve another fight ! i think de gale win the fight but Bute was close..verry close.Great fight.
Great fight! Lucian you are a champion!
James Degale eres un buen boxeador yo te admiro
Instant classic. A throwback, physical grinding fight.

Degale just beautiful British boxing always SOLID generation after generation
He’s been brilliant for British boxing done it all then you get ego maniacs like Eubank jr who’s done fk all James de gale has every rite to be cocky he’s worked for it well done
He's shit!
to bill b, lucian bute was IBF super middleweight world champion for 5 years! from october 19, 2007 to may 26, 2012.
Dam degale's sister would get the Length !
we know how 13 world champions in the UK, that is incredible, but we favor football over boxing?! Crazy
Ste Dunn so do we so....
This was closer and a lot more entertaining thank Jack vs Bute
I had it 4 to 2 after 6 but different rounds than Farhood. Minute to minute it was competitive but smart choices where to work made this 4 to 8 rounds for DeGale.
Degale definitely can Fight

Bute is a better fighter than most give him credit for and I'm glad he won!!! Good for Lucien bute!!!
After all these years, I hope everyone agrees it was a robbery.
Only people who can't score a fight to save their life think Bute won. Degale won 8 rounds to 4. 116-112.

Please GGG fight DeGale.................GGG would kick his ass.
I don't even like DeGale but I had him winning the first 8 rounds. Great performance from him. Really landed all the quality punches in the fight and dictated the pace.
The guy is creative. You have to give him that.
Bute won the fight . Respect Lucian
M Mihai
No he didn't. Degale landed far more punches.
@@lucasm3879 yes 2 more for I round then when he feelt pain he started runing away😊
Degale una estrella
It's so rare seeing two southpaws fight
Watching this back, what a fight, let's remember Bute was found guilty of doping around this time 🍹
degale won but hats off to bute for 35 he gave one hell of a fight
Degale is just a exciting fighter....I was at the Jack fight in January. Thought it was a draw tho I understand people's questioning of that decision....jack landed such harder thudding shots.

Great fight I had de Gale by 8rnds to 4
Jameses best win
Degale won no doubt.
Bute needs to be more focused he could knock down 4 times at least Degale and his shots are soft like a butter.
Degale needs to hurry up and fight again
Bute...Bute...Bute
Very Close Fight,,, well done Bute,,,
close? really?! I thought Degale demolished him, the crowd screamed when bute moved his fists, but not a word when degale kept landing flush.

butte was very competitive,but he lost the fight.

LOL!!! Seriously?! Not a single person actually believes he won, but you, so maybe you might be wrong?
115-114 degale really close
Degales sister is fkin hot man lol
Bute win, I give them a tight round Bute, Degale save her all along
13:24 this is why I hate commentators
Close fight, degale just outboxed Bute..
DeGale nu e boxer, e fix frectie, ce a boxat el, numa box nu e, Plm

Bad defense by Bute...

I CANT BELIEVE GGG KNOCKED OUT LUCIAN BUTE IN THE AMATEURS . JAMES DEGALE WAS TAKING WAYY TOO MANY HITS .
He did nothing Degale one hard shot and then runs away and does Shakira danse
