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

[apollocreed]

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

He hasn't got the footwork or boxing skill to beat any well schooled opponent. Even Degale past his best will have too much for him.

[KTFOKING]

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.

While true.....Are we going to just act like Degale didn't just go life and death twice with Caleb Traux??

Yes we are - but Truax is better than Euabank Jr. He's ****. He's 30 this year and hasn't even won a world title. He's a complete hype job. He said he would stop Groves - didn't hurt him once. Look at what Smith and Froch did to him.

Eubank Jr wins. Degale isn't the same fighter and although Eubank Jr is limited technically he is like a better version of Truax who gave Degale hell.

I mean no argument from me that Eubank isn't that good. However, you may be underestimating just how washed Degale is now. He took a brutal beating from Jack late in the fight and was taking damage in prior fights as well. And then he has bad Achilles? Terrible combination there.

OK cool, but I think Degale still has enough even if he's semi shot, Eubank is that poor. I'm not convinced Degale is totally shot, which he would have to be for Eubank to win imo. He looked OK in spurts in the Truax rematch.
Time will tell anyway, looking forward to finding out.

DeGales washed up style is Taylor made for Eubank...just look at how many times Truax could hit him clean and hard. Eubank pressure will probably fold this version of DeGale. Probably won't stop him tho and it will be an ugly fight with DeGale looking to clinch on the inside. Eubank by close decision I bet.

I didn't even make my pick yet, but everything considered, this isn't all that bad of a match up. If Degale was in peak form? Of course he wins easily, but that isn't the case anymore. Jack took whatever he had left in him and just wrecked him. Brutal punishment he took late in the fight, similar to Stevenson back in May.

I've never thought Eubank was that good, but DeGale is absolutely WASHED. Eubank stops him late and sends Chunky into retirement

[sicko]

Don't know WTF to expect from either which could make this a good fight at least
