Degale v Eubank Jnr - 8/12/12

[GAME]

I cant see how DeGale wins this. I don't like or rate Junior but his volume will be too much for DeGale. DeGAle doesnt have the dig to put Junior back in his box like Groves did and he doesn't have the legs that BJS does. I see a prolonged beating and possible stoppage in the second half.

Old DeGale, the one that won the title against Durrell and went on the run of defences including Bute and Jack, would comprehensively beat Eubank Junior. The current shopworn James may get overwhelmed. Unless he has recovered and no issues with his injuries Eubank Junior will win.

I agree with this.

if we were talking Degale in his prime you'd expect him to have the skills to outbox Eubank the same way he beat Dirrell.

however the Degale that's around today struggled twice with Celeb Truax. Eubank as limited as he is, has abit more to offer than Truax and that should be enough to beat James on points

good fight though. I like both guys but it seems these two and George are now on their way out looking for paydays

Degale could beat Eubank with ease and box him silly IF he did what he's best at which is box.
Problem is he prefers his ass on the ropes and a tear up which is and always has been his downfall.
If he tries to trade with Eubank he'll get battered and you just know it'll go in that direction because the genuinely dislike each other.
Eubank will stop him mid rounds I reckon.

Looks a goer this one 👌🏼

Considering the feeling is overwhelming that Jr beats a shot-to-bits DeGale the bookies have made it evens (50-50).

Doesn't feel like a major fight anymore, not even a poxy alphabet on the line, shame they can't stick it on the Fury-Wilder undercard.

Everyone's saying it's on ITV box office which is insane!!
No way this warrants anything more than ITV4.
Pre Groves loss, Jnr (maybe) could have pulled in some ok viewing figures.
Degales still a nobody to the man in the street
