Chris Eubank Jr and James Degale on the same fight card

[ross]

Agreed it is embarassing at this stage in Degales career, to not know the opponent your fighting. Looking at the link you supplied Ross that guy does look to have a good record. But I've never seen him in a bout. So don't know his style. Who knows maybe Degale wasn't planning to fight and it was a spur of the moment decision? Which in its self is foolish, but if Degale keeps in shape and keeps his boxing skills sharp. Then it shouldn't be too much trouble.

Theres a couple of videos of him on youtube. His style is quite similar to Mayorga the way he moves and puts his punches together. He lost a split decision to a prospect called Badou Jack and thats not bad when you consider he would have been fighting in Jacks back yard, probably on his promoters show as well and he still wan in the eyes of one of the judges. Had it gone longer than 8 rounds, who knows. Apparently he's had 400 amateur bouts! There is a video of Badou Jack saying hes very awkward to fight and made him look shit. Under the video of their weighin someone has commented that Brand was robbed. So this could be another banana skin like Price recently. Hopefully Brand was in training and is fit because im looking forward to watching a super middle version of Mayorga
