Floyd Mayweather: This is why James DeGale v Badou Jack was bad for boxing
BADOU JACK and James DeGale's super-middleweight title fight should never have been ruled a draw, according to promoter Floyd Mayweather.
Floyd Mayweather does not believe James DeGale deserved a draw against Badou Jack
James DeGale took a clear lead early in the IBF and WBC title fight, knocking down Jack in the first round.
But the Swede battled back with a tight defence and excellent stamina, hurting DeGale throughout and returning the knockdown early in round 12.
However, the majority decision ruled the fight a draw - the same result as Jack's last title defence against Lucian Bute.
“This is bad for boxing.
“This was a bad night for boxing."
