Very good fight. Degale had him down in the first and did well for the first 4/5 rounds then Jack took over for the middle part of the fight. Degale seemed to be finishing strongly in the last few rounds but suffered a heavy enough knock down in the final round and was hanging on at the end. Draw probably fair enough but I thought Jack just knicked it especially with the final round knock down.

What station was this on?

Sky sports 1

Edit: it's on Sky sports 3 now!

Rematch looks doubtful as Jack is moving to light heavyweight  would degale v smith fight for Jacks vacant belt?  Throw in George groves and there is a nice 3 way match up there. Big Eddie is delighted

Cracking fight. Davis-Pedraza well with watching too.

Was a good card as Aleem v Khytrov fight was class too while it lasted.

Money needs to make the rematch happen at the same weight again. But he sounds awful cool on the idea.

Great fight.

 Rematch is doubtful as Smith is next in line for the WBC shot.  Think he would beat Jack or DeGale.

Well lads what's the thoughts for this weekend?

[JimStynes]

I am on the fence. I can't call it! Santa Cruz will have improved since the last fight, plus all the distractions with his Da's illness couldn't have helped him. But Frampton will also have improved and will make adjustments too. Just hope the big Vegas fight and the hype surrounding it doesn't distract him too much. Some support out there for him and it should be a cracker.

[gallsman]

Frampton by close decision again. As has been commented on by a lot of journalists, I'm not sure Santa Cruz can change things up they much other then to somehow try and throw even more punches.

What time do you reckon the ring walk and fight will be?

[bridgegael]

Say 4am to be on the safe side.   I like the way both fighters have conducted themselves throughout the build up,  they obviously have a lot of respect for each other. I'm going to go frampton by unanimous decision this time.
