The problem with this is DeGale is pretty much a washed up fighter now and he doesn’t like volume punchers.

As much as I’d love Eubank Jr to get sparkled I just can’t see it.

Eubank isn’t a volume puncher - unless you count those nonsense social media videos of him against the bags or pads.

Eubank did nothing for 6 rounds against Saunders because he was terrified of gassing and he barely threw a jab against Groves ... mainly because he doesn’t know how to.

I do agree that there are a lot of miles on the clock, but DeGale is miles bigger than him. He’s also got one of the best chins in the sport and Eubank had little power at 160, never mind 168.

If DeGale is at 75% or better he wins with ease.

Based on DeGales last 2 performances I'm not sure he is at 75% Socrates, I'm favouring Eubank by narrow points decision.

I still think he might have enough to old man Eubank even then to be honest.

They are both strange fighters. DeGale has had an incredible career - first ever Brit to win an Olympic Gold and then a World Title, fought some top fighters all on the road, but it still feels like he could have done more.

His trainer is a known fitness freak and always used to go on about how fit DeGale was, but even in his prime he’d take large parts of rounds off and just sit back on the ropes. He tries to be a slick fighter but when he gets tagged I think he’s at his best.

And Eubank ... clearly a phenomenal athlete, but can’t really box a lick. His reputation far exceeds his actual achievements and he’s 30 this year. If he’s not careful his career will have passed him by.

Can’t disagree with any of that. DeGale also has good timing and more than enough pop to drop someone with a counter something Eubank doesn’t have.

Eubank has all the natural tools but mentally he is so far up his own arse. Against fringe European level fighter and below Jr shines due to his athleticism. But against someone who can box and move and stick a jab in his face all day ( groves/bjs ) he’s clueless. Jr can dish out volume when required but does have rounds off or at least moments of rounds off to recover.

For me this fight comes down to which DeGale turns up .

Degale has the better jab and footwork, but Eubank is the favourite. By a distance.

Not sure how you can say a 75% DeGale will win with ease. He won't. Even a 100% DeGale will struggle. I do hope he wins though, as I can't be doing with Eubank.

What bookies are you getting Eubank as huge favourite? Please let me know so I can bang my cash in DeGale. All Iv seen is Eubank as marginal favourite just a shade under evens.

It all depends on what DeGale turns up, the one which fought Jack will be far too much for Eubank, the one which fought Truax 1 will get beaten .

Degale has only ever turned up for two/three fights in his career. That’s his problem.

Far from arrogant? I've watched enough of his press conferences to know he is. And you can understand why I think he is - because he is. I hope he gets absolutely pasted.

Beg pardon?

Huge favourite?

DeGale :-

1. Is miles bigger.
2. Has a better chin.
3. Has a better jab.
4. Has better footwork.
5. Fights better inside.
6. Has better head movement.
7. Has more experience.


The only advantages I give Eubank are hand speed and freshness.

Eubanks are the Inces of boxing. Arrogant, self-obsessed, and only one of them actually had the talent to back it up.

So yeah, come on DeGale.

Of course degale has better footwork. Everytime eubank has come up against any kind of movement he's been outclassed. He has no jab, no footwork, and no killer punch. He has workrate and a big heart. That's it. He doesn't even get trained properly to work on his shortcomings. Adam booth walked out and he clearly doesn't listen to Ronnie.

Degale has come short when he's not up for it, besides Groves. I fully expect him to teach Eubank yet another lesson. The guy is not world level, he just thinks he is. And he's been hyped massively to the point where people are ignoring his clear inability to box.

I think the DeGale that fought Jack is history.
That fight took a lot out of him physically and mentally, and I don't think he will ever be involved in a fight like that again.
If he gets on his bike and boxes him he can win, but I fancy Eubank personally in this one. Conclusively.
I think the step up in weight will suit his attributes, and his technical flaws wont be exposed like they were at MW.

Interesting people give Eubank a chance, but based on what exactly in previous outings against elite fighters? If he was called Frank Smith I think his odds would lengthen significantly.

If you actually watched him and his interviews, he isn’t arrogant at all but he gets branded that because of the audacious claims from Snr that has stuck with him.

Eubanks, like Clay and others before him is in the business of selling tickets...And knows the easiest way is by playing the obnoxious guy....the punters love it....if you watched the Apprentice you'd see why Sugar keeps a couple of the biggest berks in for ages...it's all about viewing stats.

Eubanks is probably a decent bloke.

The pinnacle of British engineering has been, and always will be, the Supermarine Spitfire.

And Degale takes this, provided he turns up.

DeGale is trying to do his slick boxing but isn’t able to do it. Eubank has missed more than Deontay Wilder.
