Comments Thread For: Chris Eubank Jr: Now I'm Back at The Top of The Food Chain!

[Scary_canary]

Adapting to opponents is what makes a world class fighter, the MW division is packed with talent... Canelo, GGG, Charlo, Jacobs, Andrade, he’d struggle to win a round in that company...lets be honest he’s not even top of the British tree, PED’s aside, Saunders runs rings around him and even he is clinging to top world class level, same goes for Callum Smith at SMW, he’d splatter Eubank.

100%, it’s like he has all the physical attributes, speed, strength, cardio etc, but lacks a boxing brain, fundamentals and any natural ability lol

I remember that from the BJS fight...iirc I think the first 6 rounds were close-ish but all more or less clear for BJS (typical BJS imo, he could win 12-0 against some guys but every round would be close but clear)...then the last 6 rounds Eubanks decided to finally fight but it was too late. Can't exactly remember but I know it was something like that.

I just asked about the Groves fight because I didn't see Eubanks outclassed in that one that bad, but then again I just saw bits and pieces. Maybe I will give it a full watch.

I guess I am trying to say I don't think Eubanks is as good as he thinks he is, but I also don't think he is as bad as some people make him out to be lol. That win over Yildrim looks pretty good right now actually I think.

Groves really did outclass Eubank. If you watch the whole fight you get a different perspective on that one, it was pretty embarassing in spots for Eubank.

I've not seen this fight but for a once athletic fast awkward lefty like Degale to not come close to doing the same and getting outclassed himself, that's gotta be retirement time.

I'm a little bored of his hype and excuses. At least Eubank as annoying and amateurish as he is, engages and has power.

Eubanks Jnr done what he had to do, but all he beat was the empty shell of James Degale didn't see much improvement he always looks half decent when the opponent is poor. I think Badou Jack took everything from Degale and I hope he does retire now because when a Euro level plodder like Eubanks can outbox you then it's time to go.

[REdrUm0351]

I honestly thought he was going to get robbed. Degale while a shell of himself fought so damn dirty and I can't believe the ref let him do it. He was punching behind the head while his opponents back was turned , putting him in headlocks, seriously climbing down his back pulling him over, and jumping on his back. Then Eubank gets fed up and tosses him off and the ref deducts from Eubank. I get that Degale declined seriously but to resort to this level it makes me think he should of retired a LONG time ago and saved some face or just went for a war. Pass the torch and cash out with class...

[Sweet Scions]

Your right, but I mean he’s a world class athlete, not a world class boxer, he’s got good cardio, looks good in the gym, he’s fast, but he lacks boxing ability

Oh, I guess I misunderstood you. On that I'm in total agreement...he always shows up on the night in phenomenal shape.

[hugh grant]

Not sure right at top of food chain. But up there.. Maybe like a hyena so a hyena slightly bel ow a lion. Or maybe your a great white, although right near top goes running in presence of orcas

[thack]

Degale was poor and I have no doubt he is finished .Too many miles on the clock and Jr. with his wild swings won't get much further BJS ,Jacobs ,GGG, and Canelo would eat this kid alive.

[Sweet Scions]

Oh, I guess I misunderstood you. On that I'm in total agreement...he always shows up on the night in phenomenal shape.

...Then again, thinking on this more, I'm not so sure if his looking visually fit is on account of genuine top shelf conditioning so much as a case of simply being genetically gifted in the physique department. His recurring tendency to wane in later rounds when things go the distance, or in the middle only to surge back toward the end, make me suspect the latter.

[R_Walken]

Eubank is right though

168 is so weak at the moment his win over Degeale who hasn’t looked even half decent in years springboards Eubank among the top 3/4 in the division.

And most importantly the win makes Eubank a 2 time IBO World Champ.

[hugh grant]

Unless euban k gives him rematch maybe degale shouldbretire.
But degale need Not retire if he doesn't think he was at his best v eubanks.
