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

[Fabes88]

Well time will tell, but I think two things are being massively exaggerated - Degale being shot and having no stamina, and surprisingly to me, how good Eubank is. It’s a year since he was exposed but people seem to still believe in him. His stamina isn’t even that good, when he has ever displayed that? He takes breaks in fights and poses, he always has. It’s not like he’s ever performed like Hatton against Tszue.
He’s all hype, what Hamed was saying about him is basically true, he’s not good enough for world level.

Maybe Degale being shot and his lack of stamina is being exaggerated but I can’t oberlook the amount of times I’ve seen him fade in the later rounds and make a fight more harder than it needs to be. I don’t think I’m exaggerating how good Eubank is personally I’ve learned from my past mistakes. I think if he ever gives up boxing he should go into sales because he does an amazingly good job of hyping himself up and selling himself as a credible opponent

If you rewatch the highlights against Groves, he's swinging and missing all over the place. He's so far below world level that he can't suddenly get that much better at this stage. His bad habits are ingrained, and even if he tries to fight with better fundamentals, he'll just revert back quickly when he starts getting tired
You need to have good footwork and technique instilled from early on.
What Hamed said after that fight is true - you're either good at boxing or you're not. He's 30 this year and he can't get much better at this stage.
He can blag it at euro/domestic level. Any time he steps up though he'll be exposed.
The point you make about Degales stamina fading is the only possible doubt I have about him losing, but i still think he'll win.
He looked OK in the Truax rematch, and Truax was a massive super middleweight who kept coming and outweighed him on the night.
