CEJ is an exciting fighter but he has too many flaws in his game. He could be a good money-scalp for DeGale since Eubanks want him. :OhYes:

It will be a while before we see him in with the elites of 160-168, I'd be surprised if we ever saw it to be honest. DeGale & Golovkin are two completely different fighters to each other but in their own way are all wrong for Eubank

Eubank Jr. was moderately impressive last night. He was a tad over cautious during the early rounds, but nonetheless established the winning momentum very quickly against an opponent that clearly lacked ambition and who was in survival mode for the entire duration of the contest.

The ref should have stopped the fight a few rounds sooner, because Quinlan was needlessly taking a lot of punishment and wasn't trying to return fire. For the Aussie, he seemed more intent on lasting the distance rather than taking risks in order snatch the victory from the jaws of defeat.

For Eubank Jr., he should be applauded for overcoming a very awkward and durable second-tier opponent. It's incredibly difficult to look impressive against a fighter that carries no ambition and is solely intent on avoiding a stoppage defeat.

That said, the long-term hyperextended elbow injury Eubank Jr. suffers on his right arm needs to be addressed once-and-for-all, because he's had to adapt his style by throwing too many uppercuts, which are incredibly difficult shots to land. His physical inability/reluctance to throw the straight right hand puts him at a disadvantage... and may prevent him from making the grade as a top-tier elite level world-rated fighter.

Eubank Jr's issue with his hyperextended right elbow is a huge concern, because it's going to severely impede his ability to hurt and stop his opponents. And I fear that he shouldn't be allowed to share the ring with an opponent of GGG's ilk whilst faced with the disadvantage of possessing a limited array of weapons.

I also think that he needs to abandon his dad, perhaps to join TMT, Mayweather Sr. and Haymon, a group of people he's already familiar/worked with, because I fear that without receiving proper training, career management and promotion, he may never reach his full potential.

By the way, the people at ITV Box Office or Sky who was responsible for the actual ability to pay and watch the bout should be fired, because all Sky subscribers were faced with a blank blue screen after agreeing to pay for the contest.

The majority of people had to watch the bout online!

DeGale should jump at this occasion and get the job done.

Despite Eubank Jr's injury, his ridiculously high work-rate would deeply trouble DeGale during the second half of a championship contest. It could play out like the Saunders fight, but it would be far tougher for James because Chris is a quicker starter and shows off less than he did in 2014.

I'd give Eubank Jr. a good chance against DeGale, especially if the alleged sparring stories are true.

It wouldn't be an easy fight for DeGale but he has good chances to outbox CEJ and make good money.
