Comments Thread For: James DeGale-Chris Eubank Jr. Set For February 23 In London

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

Yeah it's true Degale shoots himself in the foot by switching off and going to the ropes. I stand by my assertion that he's still too good for Eubank Jr though, even if he's past his best. Eubank Jr looks good on a punch bag, but anyone who can actually move can give him fits. His best two wins are old Abraham and Yildrim, two slow plodders. Looking forward to seeing what unfolds though.

One that's done Vs one that's never done.
Decent match up but never PPV worthy !

Can someone please tell me how we got to this point in the UK where a fight of this caliber is on PPV? I don't give a damn if it is only $20, how is THIS PPV? Does anyone have a breakdown of the yearly budget for BT Sports and Sky Sports for boxing? Like for SHO it around $60-65 million, what is the budget for those two networks? I know this is on ITV, but let's be real, it could have been anywhere and would have found itself on PPV. FFS, Frampton vs Warrington and Whyte/Chisora II was just on PPV as well as Whyte/Parker.

As much as degale is a nob i really hope he has one last decent performance up his sleeve and gives eubank the reirement that Naz was wanting him to take.

Gonna give this to Eubank in a 9 round TKO. He got this.

Eubank should win even with unnecessary amounts of uppercuts and poor ring IQ

[Mick Higgs]

Interesting fight, but no way PPV unless the undercard's 100%

Eubank jnr looks great on a punch bag which he degale can be when he leans on the ropes. If degale has anything left at all he should win, I just think he’s completely spent now. I’m looking forward to it too. It’s a big fight domestically.

No way. He hasn't got anything. He's a complete hype job and he's lost the two times he's fought a decent opponent. I can't believe some people still haven't got it.
