    Most people seem to think this fight will go the distance

    George Groves floored Eubank on two occasions, but for inexplicable reasons neither were given as official knockdowns.

    DeGale has dropped both Badou Jack and Andre Dirrell, and is more than capable of doing the same to Eubank.

    Will Eubank's now cracked chin hold up tonight?

    DeGale hasn't stopped anyone in years. Don't think it happens tonight either.

    Eubanks has a great chin and heart hard to see why a UD specialist like Degale makes a KO seem likely

    Eubanks won't be stopped at 168, iron chin and warrior code

    Nope, if he isn't outright stopped, he'll go down once or twice.

    How did the size difference surprise you, did you not watch the Groves fight? Eubank is a middleweight

    In a similar fashion to the Groves match, only with Eubank taking more punishment early, which will make him even more skittish. I think DeGale will show up for this match, he'll be truly inspired since he doesn't like CEJ, DeGale will use that as incentive. As far as the recent bad form.... Jack, Truax and Medina were all solid pressure fighters and grinders, CEJ only fights in spurts, and those spurts can be nullified with a decent jab and some clinching, which Chunky can do fairly well.

    I would actually be surprised if Eubank doesn't go down at least once in the fight. That said, I expect Eubank to survive and the fight to go the distance.

    Eubank Jr will hold his chin up high, stiff upper lip, hearing he lost a decision against DeGale.

    Good post. I think i'd agree if it was prime Degale, he was good, im not confident here though as he gets lazy and I think he tires after a few which allows anybody to make a fight of it with him, hes made a career out of it, at a higher level than Jnr though granted. The age or wear and tear makes it a closer fight for me, but I think you hit nail on head, Degale is well up for it also. Someone's retiring tonight I feel...Im well looking forward to it !

    Eubank either needs to get on the AJ diet and pack on some lean muscle or go back down to middleweight...he’s too small...

    His dad is probably too tight to let him buy the peds...

    Anyone who thinks Eubank is going to be dropped by Degale is barking mad. Quote this post after the fight please.
