Eubank Jr: "I signed Matchroom contract to fight DeGale next, but he pulled out"

Can't wait to see some of these guys in the ring together. I reckon Eubank Jr, Groves, DeGale will be a good example of triangle theory not telling much of a story.

I think Groves wipes the floor with Jr, but Jr gives DeGale a good fight, possibly wins. Then DeGale vs Groves could go either way. You'e got Callum Smith to consider, and I'd like to see any of them vs Ramirez as well. Surely at least one of them would have his number.

I can see SMW being my favourite division in 2017/2018.

 

If he still has a lengthy layoff he just strikes me as the type who might think 'sod it, I've made money why risk a loss'. Just seems that sort of guy to me

 

risk a loss? its not like hes got an undefeated record to protect, your deluded.

 

he's also only been in 1 big money fight, and even in that he was the 'B' side so i think he only got 2 or 3 million which won't last him forever.

 

I'm aware he isn't undefeated but that was a while ago. He's at the top of his game and should be coming off of a loss against Jack. In my opinion Degale might not fancy his chances against other top fighters as much as he used to and his pride might make him retired IF he has to have a lengthy layoff.

There's different factors in play here, I'm not saying HE IS DEFINITELY GOING TO RETIRE LADS, I'm saying if he did I wouldn't be that surprised. So no, I'm not deluded.

 

OH right your talking about degale, i thought you were talking about groves lmao, sorry

 

i was talking about groves, i thought the other guy was as well but he was talkin about degale, confusion all round.

 

Groves fighting scared? The guys one of the most exciting fighters in the country....

Degale running all night? His last fight was a barn stormer with Badou Jack.

 

Don't know what planet you live on if you think Groves has only been in 1 big money fight.

 

This is an example of what's wrong with boxing and the sort of thing turning me off Eubank jr. The guy has done nothing at super middle and even at middle, lost to the only world class fighter he faced. Yet he expects to simply walk into a title shot ahead of more deserving contenders on the back of his dad's name. If I was Degale I'd tell him to whistle, go earn a shot and then we'll talk.

 

It's the boy who cried wolf, with emphasis on the boy. Can't believe anything that these jokers say. Actions speak louder than words.

 

Whilst I'm not sold on Eubank Jr. As you pointed out he could do well against DeGale. I think he would because of his work rate, whereas DeGale takes breaks in fights, which could cause Eubank to steal rounds.

Even Eddie confirmed he made a good offer and Degale turned it down

Jr wasn't talking smack, and Kugan thinks the fight is bigger than Degale vs Groves, Eddie thinks its not quite as big but could potentially be.

Look at social media and youtube and Jr gets up 10x the traffic as them

Jr has as many Facebook followers as both Groves and Degale have Facebook/twitter/instagram combined!!!!
