It should do pretty well to be fair, degale I feel has one good performance in him, and lots will be urging him on to send the deluded eubanks back to Brighton telling all how they won again but lost. Come on James lad, hit junior so hard it knocks the old man's monocle into row Z.
Degale easy, unless he gets arrogant. To be fair, the way he coasts, he may do that a lot. He sounded a little arrogant again in the interview.
His old man seems worried about him here. His belief in his boy was shattered by Groves jabbing his head off all night.
we all hope theres no bad outcome here, eubank has been put in the ring with opposition way above him way too long, ironically on account of his very dads name
Degale wins this I reckon. He has too much skill and experience for junior. The problem with junior is he believes his own hype and is so arrogant he will never listen to any trainer. He is British level at best and everytime he steps up then he just isn't good enough. I expect Degale to beat him on points and then junior to make excuses like it was his trainers fault.
Eubank Jr is better than British level. He can compete at world level, he may fall short but he can compete with world level fighters.
Considering that the SMW is the poorest level it has been in my lifetime and that Yildirim and Isufi are in World title fights then yes Eubank certainly can challenge. The winner of this fight puts themselves in the mix with Smith, Plant, Saunders and Dirrell ( assuming Saunders and Dirrell win their fights as expected).
It should be decent (I'll say 9K-10K) but nowhere near a sell out. To be fair I have been to quite a few live fights over the last 5 years and ticket demand seems less last 6 months of so. I had no problems whatsoever getting PPV event tickets (AJ, Bellew-Usyk etc). The last one which was a bit tricky was Eubank v Groves in the WBSS.
