Comments Thread For: Chris Eubank Jr. vs. James DeGale: Afterthoughts

[Ray*]

Moving foward I think Eubanks need to go back down to 160. Those guys at 160 are too big for him.

Agree with everyone who’s mentioned Junior going back to 160, I think that’s his natural weight and I’d really like to see him there. He still looks horribly limited to me, and anyone with a decent boxing brain, jab and chin should be able to outwork him, but I’d give him more of a chance at the lighter weight with his power and athleticism.

Eubank is hopeless. He'd better retire. He went the distance with a lame crippled bum. What will he do in the ring with any top opponent? It will be a total disgrace.

I think he already beat him first time round, I had him by 2 points so I only consider him to have the 1 loss to Groves.

Everybody said before the Saunders fight that Eubank was too green and that proved to be the case as I think Eubank would have more clearly won had he got busy earlier in the fight. Saunders couldn't handle him in full flow and will never give him the rematch because he knows it.

What this win against DeGale has done is proven that Eubank can box at world level and isn't just a limited slugger. That would have been an emphatic beat down had DeGale not been in survival mode all night.

I agree about first fight. I thought it was at least a draw because Eubank dominated every round from 7. BJS blames his preparation for the second half of fight but it was definitely an element of Eubank waking up halfway through and giving BJS hell from there onwards.
