People will talk a lot of **** about this fight, actually they probably won’t as it’s a pbc fight and not a Hearn promotion either way I think it’s a great fight. Two big names, hated each other for years. Only shame is it’s not on itv1 this would do serious serious numbers if it was.

I said Id never pick jnr to win a fight again after what groves did to him but Degale has stamina issues and that’s the last thing you need against a guy with an engine like jnr does. I think he stops him late.

Interesting matchup. Not sure who I favor here. DeGale has been going downhill, but Eubank Jr hasn't got all the way up the hill yet. Feels like a close-ish & competitive fight. I like it. Guess I gotta lean DeGale's way, maybe 60/40ish, cuz he's proven & I'm highly uncomfortable with Eubank's ring IQ & inability to adjust or learn as much as one should from a bad night.

this truly is the last chance for eubank to make something of his career, this will be a 12 round fight..degale needs space to box so he doesn't like pressure which I hope for eubank sakes he brings..eubank by decision in a pretty ugly fight similar to the second truax fight

nice fight.....should be entertaining

Eubank Jr has poor footwork, so a schooled boxer like Degale can do the same as BJS did. Degale on points.

Truax is better and hits harder than Eubank. I can't beleive some people still believe in Eubank. He's all hype. He's 30 in 2019 and hasn't even won a title yet. He said he was going to be a superstar.

I don’t disputed your logic but that mother***a is lazy and has a terrible engine. Always switches off in fights I think that’s the kind of fighter that’s made for jnr

All depends on DeGale.

I believe Eubank is coming hungry for a war, he needs a big win. DeGale needs a win too but realistically he may just be thinking this is his last big payday, does he still have the stomach for a war?

If he does then this will be a FOTY candidate IMO. It should be entertaining and worth paying £10 for, especially after what is likely to be an interesting build up.

DeGale can't move like Groves or hit as hard so I think Eubank has a good chance.

If it's anywhere near £20 it can go **** itself, I'll stream it
