Comments Thread For: DeGale Promised Pre-Retirement World Title Shot By Al Haymon

[HAY-B]

I'm actually looking forward to chunky vs Eubanks jr. I think it has the attitude to be a good scrap. At least the trash talking should be epic.

Oh yea. The build up will be plain nasty. Probably be a lot better than the actual fight, so the match up will be worth it just for the press conferences alone.

This guy is a joke. He'll retire after the Eubank fight.

Lmao. Typical Haymon. Doesnt care about the sport, or how good Degale performs, it's all about backroom deals. 'Sign with me, you'll get a title shot no matter what, the sport dont matter.'

It's just so bad for boxing. Not saying other promoters dont also do it, but as with most of the bad things in boxing, it seems like Haymon goes too far with it. Degale is shot. What if Eubank Jr knocks him out? Degale still gets his title shot? I mean come on get out of here with that ****.

I feel like World Titles and Groves rematches will just add to later life difficulties for Degale at this point. I’m not convinced he can avoid the Eubank uppercut at this point. Hope he boxes boring and safe!

Man, for most a these guys, I like watchin em fight but can’t stand the out of ring talk. these guys are all over the place. they changin their tune, flip flopping...

I like this matchup, but DeGale looked shot his last fight, so why not groves? If groves is who he really wants, why not? A safe but decent comeback fight for groves and the biggest fight for DeGale.

Degale struggled to keep Truax off him over 24 rounds.. Don't see how he stops Eubank standing in front of him throwing 100 uppercuts a round...

Think this will be the fight some people incorrectly predicted Eubank vs Groves would be...

Giving up the title to face Eubank Jr. was brilliant! I don't have a problem with guys dropping titles for BIGGER fights! I have a problem with guys keeping titles, and fighting LESSER opponents! If DeGale wins, I can see Benavidez vs. DeGale next!

If you know that the other promoters do it, then you should say "typical boxing, or business as usual!" If Eubank Jr. KOs Degale, you won't see DeGale in a title shot! You'll probably see him retire! The title shot is dependent upon the victory, and if DeGale wins, a title shot would be well deserved!
