When this fight first got made I thought this version of Degale is made for Eubank, but the closer the fight has come the more I think just how limited Eubank really is. Degale is know where near the fighter he was but he has always had a habit of making fights harder than what they could/should be. With that in mind I think Degale takes this fight close on the cards.

If it happens it will be DeGale that is to blame, not boxing

It could be a similar fight to the BJS match up, DeGale wins the first 5 and slacks for the next 7

Yeah DeGale is likely to laze on the ropes & bring it all on himself but still should be aloud to go on

Does anyone know if DeGale has paid the sanction for the IBO belt?
He has dismissed it as not a proper title so wondered if he might have declined to win it in the same way that Groves did?

I hope Eubank Jnr wins.

If he loses and retires he might not release any more training videos of him machine gunning punch bags. If that happens what am I supposed to masturbate to? :maybe:

He's only a slight favourite with Paddy Power. I took the draw at 17 to 1.

ive changed my mind now after seeing the press conference weigh in if he is injury free, iam going de gale it is too big of a fight for him to lose, also iam thinking i was giving eubank to much credit, and tactics wise james aint gonna stand and trade he is to cute for that, i think eubank will follow him about ,and james will pick him off and walk him in to big shots ,also james can bang a bit and has a big heart

Right, I’m gonna stick my neck out like a did in the groves fight and say Eubank is sh1t at boxing, good at athletics perhaps, but is dire at beyond British level boxing. Degale is a gold medalist, he will won and look good doing so. Unfortunately I can’t smugly say I told you so tomorrow as everyone learned their lesson post-Groves (that was fun then). I said it then and I’ll say it now, Eubanks ring iq is on the same level as wilder (wilder at least has the power)

It's possible that Chris is a better fighter post Groves. Remember Chris hadn't experienced much adversity in the ring before Groves. I wouldn't be surprised if he learned some lessons that night. He was also hampered by the cut eye. I really think tonight is hard to call, that makes it an excellent match.
