Chris Eubank Jr and James Degale on the same fight card

[Dave1066]

Cheers for posting all the links Ross. I think with Brands record, and his fighting style. He could be real trouble for Degale. Brand hits hard and fast. Brand works the body really well. If I was Degale, and I was watching previous Brand fights. I'd be looking to hone my defences,feints, and fake openings, and lure Brand into a false sense of security, causing him to go off balance or even fall, and nail him with a tight combo whilst off balance or on the way down...Degale can not match Brands power. If I was Degale I'd also be practicing getting my punches off whilst moving or circling to the right, because of brands powerful right hand.

I think its a 50/50 fight. Could go either way. If Brand enters in tip top condition like you mentioned, Degale had better watch out. But if Degale homes in on the fact that Brand over commits and has clumbsy footwork, it could work well to his advantage.

I am warming up to Degale and have always rated Eubanks jnr. I hope they can build on the animosity of these two characters and a big fight happens between them next year. Degale is a head at the moment and Eubanks is very new to the game but it would make a cracking fight.

I reckon the show is getting pulled. Eubank jr just put on facebook that his fight has been postponed.

I think they've struggled to sell tickets. If they have it will be because no one had a clue who eubank or de gale were fighting.

[ross]

Yep, the whole show has been rescheduled!

Hennesey is a fucking joke of a promoter! Froch left him for the good of his career!

What does he do to promote these shows? I said earlier I didnt have a clue who he was fighting and im a boxing fan!

Just seen Eubanks Jr status on facebook too. Eubank Jr posted a status last night trying to sell more tickets. I had been thinking about going. The main reason I didn't get a ticket, is because my van is being an unreliable pig at the moment, doesn't always start from a cold engine. New set of glow plugs on the way..Glad I didn't order the ticket now.

It's a shame the Degale and Brand fight would of been one to watch, have to keep an eye on what Eubank Jr posts.

To be honest I dont think there was an opponent sorted for Eubank anyway.

Frustrating!

I dont think Eubank sr will put up with much more of this and may well look to move.

Hasn't Eubanks fought under other promoters or TV? I am sure he has.

Apparently, Channel 5 are not going to be showing boxing again!
