Sebastien Demers

DeGale stops Demers in 2nd round

by

degale5By Scott Gilfoid: In yet another mismatch involving super middleweight contender James DeGale (15-1, 10 KO’s), he stopped an over-matched journeyman fighter named Sebastien Demers (31-6, 11 KO’s) in the 2nd round on Friday night at the Hilton Lac Leamy, Gatineau, Quebec, Canada.

In the 2nd round, DeGale nailed the 33-year-old Demers with a hard left uppercut that snapped his head back causing him to turn around and walk back to the corner and take a knee. Demers was then counted out after he failed to stand back up.

While it was a decent shot, it was hardly the type that I would consider a huge knockout blow. But then again, Demers came into the fight with a three-fight losing streak. Just why DeGale is still fighting this caliber of opposition at this point in his career is hard to understand.

James DeGale vs. Sebastien Demers on Friday, May 17th in Quebec, Canada

degale345By Scott Gilfoid: Super middleweight contender James DeGale (14-1, 9 KO’s) will continue his slow, slow trot to a title shot this Saturday night against journeyman Sebastien Demers (31-5, 11 KO’s) in a scheduled 8 round bout at the Hilton Lac Leamy, Gatineau, Quebec, Canada.

It’s been a year and a half since Demers last fought and he’s lost his last three fights and looked terrible in each one of them. He was knocked out by Renan St. Juste in 2 rounds in December 2010, and in three rounds in June of 2010. Demers was a pretty good fighter until he met up with Dionsio Miranda in 2008. He lost that fight by a 10 round decision and took a lot of punishment in that bout.

Dirrell vs. Demers: Andre ready to explode on the super middleweight division

Showing how serious he is about his career, Dirrell has chosen not to take a soft opponent in his first fight back from a year layoff due to a neurological problem that Dirrell suffered as a result of being fouled in his last fight in March 2010 in a win against Arthur Abraham.

By Scott Gilfoid: Andre Dirrell (19-1, 13 KO’s) will be getting back in the ring after a year and a half out of action when he battles Sebastian Demers (31-4, 11 KO’s) next month in a 10 round bout in Oakland, California. Dirrell has been sidelined since being horribly fouled by Arthur Abraham in the Super Six tournament last year in March when Dirrell was hit after slipping and calling the canvas.

The fight was similar in some ways to the David Haye vs. Audley Harrison bout that took place last month, because Gates looked reluctant to fight from the very start of the bout.

Demers, 29, making his 2nd fight since suffering a disappointing 10-round decision loss to Dionisio Miranda in August 2008, had little problems with the experienced Berthiaume, hammering him with uppercuts and hooks in every round until Berthiaume quit on his stool following the 5th round.

Demers, 28, who has seen his rankings slide in the past year in the middleweight division with his two losses to Arthur Abraham and most recently Dionisio Miranda, dominated McCrary over the course of the 10-round bout.

Miranda Defeats Demers

by

By Eric Thomas: In a shocking upset, middleweight contender Sebastien Demers (25-2, 9 KOs) was defeated by a 10-round split decision by Colombian Dionisio Miranda (20-2-2, 18 KOs) on Friday night at the Gare Windsor Salle des Pas Perdus, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Demers, ranked #5 in the WBO and #12 in the IBF middleweight division, won most of the first half of the fight, but began taking heavy shots in the second half, and was knocked down in the 9th round by a huge right hand from Miranda.

Demers Defeats Hill

by

By Sean McDaniel: Once-beaten middleweight contender Sebastien Demers (25-1, 9 KOs) easily defeated a badly over-matched Sam Hill (17-8-1, 10 KOs) in an 8-round unanimous decision on Friday night at the Uniprix Stadium, Montreal, in Quebec, Canada. Demers, ranked #5 in the WBO and #12 in the IBF, totally dominated the 37 year-old Hill, who was coming into the fight after having been out of boxing for the past year and half. Indeed, the fight was a terrible mismatch going into the bout as Hill had never fought anyone near the class of Demers.
