James Degale v Eubank Jnr...?

[smashup]

Doesn't have to be about "The Belts" Jnr brings way more money than Callum Smith and Degale might be tempted to throw him a bone, cash in and get the grudge match going.

Eddie Hearn has recently claimed he could put this fight together in minutes and guarantee Degale a career high payday

I've got a feeling Degale will start making noise for a Groves rematch but a Eubank fight would still be a decent fight, i'd actually pick Jnr to beat Degale too.

Where the fuck is Eubank Jnr anyway?

It’s funny how short our memories are.

If your on about Eubank Jnr looking shit against Groves then that is exactly what could sway Degale into believing this is low risk and high return.
Degales a free agent and not tied to a "Promoter", Eddie Hearn has publicly told him to fight Eubank and to come and see him and he'll make the fight.

I think Degale knows deep down that he's on the slide, maybe he'll push for the Groves rematch instead but he'd make a shitload of money fighting Eubank and probably sees it as an easier fight

regardless of whether I feel he deserves it or not I can't see DeGale risking ending his career on a loss to Jr, especially after Groves beat him at a canter, it would be like a double humiliation to DeGale 'IF' he lost

Agreed..there’s to much pride on the table.

I think Degale is on the slide based on his last 2 fights and will wait it out for Groves v Smith winner.

A fit Degale would box circles around Junior.

It’s not just looking shit against Groves. It’s about him having never been trained by anyone and that was highlighted. He’s only fought 2 decent boxers,and his lack of skills were cruelly exposed both times.
He is not World level, and he is never likely to be because he won’t listen and learn from a trainer.
I almost have to applaud the guy for getting as far as he has just on fitness and as Bellew would say, being a “YouTube Boxer!”
And that is only the start.... outside the ring,his team is a fucking shambles. His Dad is still there, and that will restrict his chances of getting a fight. Warren won’t deal with Sr. Sr. Won’t deal with Hearn , ITV have gone quiet, Hennessy isn’t going to cut it with Sr.
So there we have it. Why don’t we just forget about this prick?

Because people love to discuss meaningless domestic matchups for some reason. Fighter A is on the slide, match him with fighter B who can’t box. Huge money, repeat. It isn’t just Haye/Bellew, it’s everywhere and people love it SMDH

You’re right, but I think that over here they take it to the absolute extreme. I don’t think that generally they would stand for it in the US.

I agree 1000% but I do my best not to talk about the things that bother me about the UK fight scene because 1)there are many more things I respect about it and 2)Nobody wants to hear a Yankees opinion on that 😂
