De Gale is done after the shoulder injury and will never be 50% of his best again. Any fighter with a pulse should pump him now as very few can win with one arm
If DeGales shoulder holds up easy nights work for him. Both fighters fight in spurts but DeGale got a far better Ring IQ, power and footwork and a much better jab.
i just want Badou Jack to smash every member of the Eubank family one after each other like a Royal Rumble... Boxing is like a game of snakes and ladders and both DeGale and CEJ have slipped down the long snake!..i dont see either of them winning any meaningful belt again
Degale has the ability to control the fight for 12 rounds but I don’t know if he can stick to the plan and avoid getting into a fight with Eubank, especially with the tension they have already Must win fight for both tho, neither are absolute fan favourites and neither can afford another loss at this stage, would be a big set back. Makes fight very interesting!
Eubank JR struggles against “boxers”. He does well against punch bags like Abraham. Degale would be too slick for him, even now!
DeGale easily. What part of Eubank's poor footwork, balance, coordination & technique troubles DeGale ? Eubank jr is a poor fighter at that level.
I actually think he could win, just because I think he would have a lot more success with DeGale static on the ropes for too much of the fight.
Did you miss Degale's last fight - the shoulder is so bad he simply cannot operate. He is finito against live opponents and even the odd can can beat a one armed man
Eubank isn't very good at all but DeGale seems finished. He was dreadful against Truax and I wouldn't be surprised to see Eubank winning this.
I seen the fight & it didn't look good. But I'll make a positive assumption that if he fights on, he'll be in better shape than against Traux. Traux was compact in coming forward. Shoulder problem or not, DeGale times Eubank as he plods in without a jab or set ups. If he is indeed finito, he should retire rather than trying to compete at that level. But if he does return, I'll give him the benefit of his skill set over a crude slugger, who doesn't carry the power or physicality to overwhelm him IMO. Eubank was awful last night, I mean absolutely horrendous. Traux at least worked his way in against DeGale, Eubank can't get inside without lunging so outworking DeGale isn't a given.
I've never seen a DeGale fight where he doesn't just abandon his boxing after round 3 and gets involved in a tear-up for the rest of the bout. No reason to think he wouldn't do the same vs Eubank which would mean that Eubank would have a good chance of winning.
