Jack and Degale both retain their titles with a majority draw.

In their long awaited Super middleweight unification clash, WBC champion Badou Jack and IBF champion James DeGale battled to a hard fought twelve round majority draw last night at Brooklyn's,  Barclays Center in NY. DeGale scored a flash knockdown in the first to gain a head start , whilst Jack scored a vital knockdown in round twelve.
Degale dropped Jack with a straight left in the first, Jack didn't look troubled but lost valuable momentum for the most part of the early going..
Jack obtained control of the ring centre in the 3rd round, defending well against Degale’s attacks while steadily landing single shots of his own.
At the end of round 5, Jack’s enthusiasm saw him land a shot after the bell, catching  referee Arthur Mercante flush with a hook initially aimed at Degale, Mercante gamely shook it off..
Jack began to find success targeting Degale’s body in the 7th round, as the pattern of the fight shifted.. An explosive 8th round saw Jack’s best action of the night, landing flurries of shots at will, hurting Degale but unable to put the IBF champ away..
Rounds 10 and 11 were close with both fighters having their moments. By round 12 it looked all square, Degale looking certain to steal the round, until an ever dangerous Jack delivered the left hook of the fight that dropped the disorientated Degale for the first time in his career..  Jack pressed for the stoppage but was prevented by clever survival tactics by Degale..
After 12 rounds, the judges scored the fight 114-112 to Degale, 113-113, 113-113, a majority draw. James Degale is now 23-1-1, 14 KOs while Badou Jack notches up another draw and is 20-1-3, 12 KOs.
I had Jack winning by a point, but it would have been a shame to see either man lose their belt in such an exciting battle. James offered high praise for a disappointed Badou Jack after the bout, emphasising his willingness to do it all again, pointing to the gap in his teeth where the WBC champ had smashed out a tooth..  Jack and Floyd Mayweather however offered a resounding yes to a rematch, but stipulating that it must now be at light heavyweight, where Jack now intends to campaign. It looks now like Degale will face Callum Smith back in the Uk, with the likelihood that Jacks WBC may become vacant upon his move to 175..
