Degale v Eubank jr 8th December
easy night for Degale?
Re: Degale v Eubank jr 8th December
Not sure with the DeGale of late
Think he's finished tbh
But Jnr is sh*t, so DeGale should still beat him

Re: Degale v Eubank jr 8th December
Degale looks finished. As unpalatable as it is to say I can see a Eubanks stoppage as Degale will be spending too much time on the ropes and being and easy target that even Jr can't miss.

DeGale lays against the ropes like a man on holiday lays on a lilo 
Re: Degale v Eubank jr 8th December
Sensible fight for DeGale.
Theoretically, an easy nights work. Jr.was pretty much schooled by Groves. He's a celebrity, not a proper fighter.
Eubank Jr is a name the casuals will know, so the fight will sell easily. Also it looks a good name on his CV. Without being too risky an opponent.

Whilst Groves handily beat Jr, I think Jr is the style of fighter that will cause DeGale problems. DeGale struggles with fighters that have strong workrates and we all know how lazy he can get.
He looked a spent force in the first fight with Truax and I didn’t think he looked great either in the rematch.
If I was to pick a winner I’d slightly edge towards Eubank Jr.

Re: Degale v Eubank jr 8th December
This makes sense for either fighter I think, both will make good money in this. If DeGale losses convincingly I think he will probably retire, can't see him staying around British level. I'm not to sure where Eubank goes if he loses though, maybe look for the BJS rematch possibly, still think there's a bit of money in the rematch, but I'm not to sure how much longer.
The logical path for the winner is a shot at Callum Smith at Anfield, which will be a Sky PPV, so more ££££.
As for the fight itself, I expect Chunky to start of looking lively and trading early on, but as the fight reaches the middle to end you'll see Eubank take over as Chunky fades. Eubank by late stoppage I think.

Re: Degale v Eubank jr 8th December
Does Eubank Jr want the fight, that's the question?
Eubank Jr seems more happy to pose around, fight binmen, pose around some more, go on Twitter to boast how well his career his going, pose some more, go on daytime TV with his dad to explain how well his career is going and posing.
A second loss in a year would reduce his opportunities to pretend to be a boxer.

Re: Degale v Eubank jr 8th December
Imagine if Junior wins omg he will be saying he’s the second coming of ray Robison. Even a lazy Degale on the ropes should outscore him surely
I hope

degale has slipped a lot I think this will be a easy fight for Eubank past the halfway mark and I don't rate Eubank
Re: Degale v Eubank jr 8th December
Eubank will stop Degale late on.
Re: Degale v Eubank jr 8th December
Eubank for me, too strong, fit and fresh for this Degale.

All about timing in this one,Eubank will stop him late for me.
Re: Degale v Eubank jr 8th December
Two really amateurish looking boxers. Big risk for both of them though. Whoever loses this fight is pretty much done. Would be very hard to come back from a loss to each other.
Degale gave up a world title because he didn't fancy Jose Uzcategui. So a loss to Eubank after giving up a world title would finish him off and Eubank whos best win is against a shot Arthur Abraham. Would have failed for the third time to have beaten a fellow Brit.

Re: Degale v Eubank jr 8th December
Degale looks pretty shot from what I've seen, if he can still move around he should outbox Jnr, but I'm not sure he can, I'd lean towards Jnr at this stage
Re: Degale v Eubank jr 8th December
DeGale has the necessary skill set needed to beat Eubank and clearly but as a few people have already mentioned, how much does he have left? Eubank, for all his many faults, is tough and has a great engine so could pick up plenty points as DeGale has his many customery rests on the ropes!
I think DGale will have just about enough left to squeak by on the cards then probably hang em up.
