Floyd Mayweather accused of cheating in Badou Jack-James DeGale draw


Trainer Jim McDonnell also believes his man should have won the fight, which eventually ended in a draw.




James DeGale's trainer Jim McDonnell has accused Floyd Mayweather J of 'illegal' tricks during the Briton's draw with Badou Jack, claiming the former five-division world champion was checking the scorecards between rounds.

The 56-year-old, who was once a world title challenger, is adamant his man deserved to win in New York. One judge felt the Londoner was the victor with a score of 114-112 whilst the other two deemed it a draw at 113-113, meaning both men retained their super-middleweight titles.

The result has left DeGale's trainer aggrieved, and he has suggested that Mayweather - who is mentoring the Swedish fighter - was trying to influence officials throughout the fight. "One of the things that I need to double-check is that I was told that Mayweather was checking the scorecards off the judges in-between rounds, to me that's illegal," he complained.

"But he was trying to say to Badou Jack after one of the rounds, 'man, you're one down, you gotta' win the next round," the former featherweight and super-featherweight alleged.

The trainer was also unhappy with the way Jack's corner behaved before the fight. He claims that members of Mayweather's team attempted to ban DeGale's entourage from reaching their corner of the ring. "I'm thinking, you're on a Mayweather bill in America, against an American-based fighter with three American judges. James DeGale showed great mental strength and he won that fight for me," McDonnell added.

Immediately after the fight, DeGale demanded a rematch on home soil, as he looks to unify the IBF and WBC titles following the stalemate in the Big Apple. It is unlikely however that the pair will fight again, with Jack set to move up weight divisions after relinquishing his WBC crown.

I got a question. Does anyone else who watches Beterbiev's punches see similarities in their techniques? Like how they are able to gain massive amount of power from their compact punches? The elbow placement, the angles they hit from, the classic posture/stance etc. The punch turnover. 1 example is from this sparring session joe louis had. notice how he counters over the jab


The first and second knockdown of primo carnera


Now notice the counter beterbiev pulls off here against bill bailey


short, compact.
(although joe louis slipped the jab too)

I ain't saying they are exactly the same, they have their own distinct style. And Joe Louis' power was off the charts (knocked down charley retziaff moving backwards, knocked out carnera, got loads of power even with a narrow stance at times etc) Just noticing some of the similarities between the more recent fighters and ones of the past. Like how durant does the stanley ketchel shift (he had some of the fastest footwork). @Yuzo can you explain? I'm not sure if I am articulating myself well they just seemed to generate a ton of power from short distance. Almost like a one inch punch?

Look at the punch that he set up to KO Campillo with. It's like an uppercut shovel punch.

This one? The way he connected with it was so unorthodox. PBC measured it and it was well over 900 lbs of force. Matter of fact

The punches are different tho but this guy is a throwback to some of the old school punchers
