Comments Thread For: McGuigan: Eubank Jr. Will Beat DeGale, Maybe Stop Him Late

[hugh grant]

I think eubanks wins. Surely he will have learnt from 2 losses.?

i thought the same with the groves fight, the difference being there was a question of groves maybe being done. I dont think there is a question about Degale being done, its how shot is he, and can he put in one last performance agaisnt a guy with a non stop engine? probobly not.

No is the answer to that question. His two losses were to technically better guys who controlled him with boxing skills. Do you think he's actually learned how to finally box well at age 29? It doesn't happen that quickly.

Saunders isn’t a big puncher and he soundly out boxed him. I respect McGuigan but he did say Groves would beat Smith, Frampton would win LSC 2, Haye Bellew...

Yes but let's not.forget Jr came back.down the stretch in that fight, rocked BJS a few times, bad him hurt at least once, and if I remember correctly, ended up losing a split decision after basically doing nothing in the first 5 or 6 rounds

Finally someone taking sense. I can’t believe people still think Eubank can do anything above Euro level.

You're basing that all.on the Groves fight? First off remember, Eubank is a middleweight fighting bigger guys. Groves is a lot bigger than Eubank. Second I think it's funny when people say things like BJS kicked his ass. Not how I remember it. Eubank was inexperienced then and I think he was afraid of running out of gas in a 12 round fight. He did almost nothing for.the first he of the fight. However once he started fighting he made it very competitive. I think it was a SD but not positive. Anyways, I think Eubank is not a very good boxer but I think he's a good fighter. He's fun to watch, I just do not understand why he is wasting his time fighter bigger guys when he could fight guys his own size, especially considering 160 has alot.more exciting fights to be made

The only reason that happened is because BJS was unfit and a lazy trainer. If he didn't start fading, it would have been a 12 round shut out. The reason he 'didn't do anything', was because he was being controlled by a far more skilled boxer.
Eubank lost to Saunders, he lost to Groves and I'm confident he'll lose to Degale. He's ****.

Who said I was basing it all on the Groves fight?? I'm not - I've watched Eubank Jr's whole career.
He's technically ****, anyone who knows boxing can see his footwork and balance are awful, he swings and misses with punches regularly.
It's his choice to fight at 168 - why did he move from 160?
Because he'd have to eventually fight one of Canelo, GGG, Jacobs, Andrade, Charlo, Saunders again, and get humiliated.
He's euro level and a total hype job.
He's 30 this year and I seriously doubt he'll even win a proper world title in his whole career.

I’ve said I’m done picking Eubank jr for fights but I really think he stops degale too. Degale is finished and has stamina issues. That’s a a disaster when facing someone with an engine like jnr. If Degale has anything left he wins but I think he’s done out here

don't do it, don't believe in Eubank he'll let you down. I actually though Degale fought quite well in the second Truax fighter against a pressure fighter who fought at a high pace. I think if he's got anything left in the tank he'll beat Eubank.

I agree with you but I won’t be too disappointed in him this time. I’m used to him letting me down but I don’t really like him so it’s fine lol. I agree with you again if Degale has anything left he beats him I just don’t think he has enough left
