Eubank/Quinlan Thread

[gmc_rfc_06]

James seems to get a pass for switching off.

Tbh, he aint switching off. He does it in every fight. We hear about how he is as fit as anything which I'd say he probably is but he hasn't got a 12 round gas tank.

He also has that natural inclination to go to the ropes which Eubank Jr would like.

It's close fight - because Degale could find himself outlasted.

It's definitely not about switching off.

He slows down and had bad moments in every single fight, that's not improving as he gets older. How does that fare against a guy with a ridiculous punch output, physical strength and a granite chin?

Jr wins for me.

I seriously would not pick Degale over Eubank jr, Eubank might to have KO power but his energy levels, output would make him win more than 6 rounds against James, especially in those 4 rounds where Degale does nothing but rest.

DeGale has shown power in about 2 fights ever, he's a slapper.

He's taken lots of punishment, never improved his stamina or defensive flaws. DeGale would land, but with zero impact and Jr's workrate would swamp him IMO.

Jr's work rate is overrated he postures around the ring and has zero power to hurt DeGale. Put it this way I rate DeGale as a better fighter than Eubank. Could Eubank beat Dirrell? I don't think so. His skill set doesn't compare to DeGales. And yes DeGales stamina is a problem but I still think he out boxes Jr with ease.

DeGale is one of the few top level guys I'd give Eubank Jr a good shot against. Just a good style match up for him imo

Whereas I feel like even Groves would be a nightmare stylistically. Zurdo too

Degale's fight against his mandatory is crucial. He needs a big win and then he could probably earn millions fighting Groves and Eubank Jr. And possibly call it a day. I do think he competes well with both of them.

I know he's only 30 but sometimes you sort of look at fighter and think they've definitely reached their ceiling. The sharks will start to circle if he hangs on much longer after that.

Even the Callum Smith isn't the right fight for me. I know Smith hasn't really fought in great company but that is one where Degale could really come a cropper and it could be a bit messy.

Brave performance from an outgunned Quinlan.He really tried to fight it out when he was getting hammered in the 9th.
There's another Aussie called Zac Dunn who would jump at the chance to fight Jnr.

not to mention his most important asset: his fathers ATG chin...

Where's this myth coming from that Eubank has zero power? Who has he been in with that hasn't been hurt?

Eubank Snrs chin is far beyond Jrs. It's not a discredit to Jnr really it's just Snr has one of those concrete heads. Junior doesn't.

Great outing by Jr.

But, no way he stands in with the class of the division at 168.

He should move back down.
