I'm going for Eubank. Can see it being a long fight, with Eubank edging it.
Could be a classic scrap !

Will be a scrap more than a classic. Both need to win for varying reasons but probably the end ofor the line as far as big fights concerned for the loser.

Fight is there for someone to grab.
Both fighters can sometime go missing for parts of the fight.
Both near their best then you'd have to pick degale as the better boxer. But it's last chance saloon for one of them so could be a bit nervy & scrappy

Either that bloke is a tank or Joyce isn't hitting very hard. Took loads of hits then

Limited hand speed.
That left hook coming from that wide is going to see a good fighter pick him off.
Long way off fighting for a world title in terms of quality but these champions all having their own TV contracts may see him fast tracked.

It was a bit boring, he just didn't have any power about him to drop him easily. Although it was dazing him it wasn't even moving his head.

Poor fight.
Degale not up to it anymore. No power.
Seems eubank piled on the extra weight since the weigh in. Still don’t rate eubank yet. Just swarmed degale at times but a good fighter won't let him Get away with that.

I quite enjoyed that. A lot of people don't like Eubank but I think he's exciting to watch with his bursts and chasing opposition around (not saying that makes him technically good but i think its entertaining). Beat DeGale up from round 1 who was trying to cuddle him all night. It could have really killed the fight more than it did.

It was a bit like Haye and a few other recent fights with injury-prone boxers trying to eke out one more pay day.

Don't remember degale throwing a shot with any real power.
Nowhere near the fighter he was. Truax not a good fighter and struggled against him.
Hasn't had a genuine ko for about 5 yrs - munoz spent most of his career at lightweight!!

I remember the great middleweight boxers like Hagler, Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard,Duran, and those great fights between Benn and Eubank. You have to feel sorry for today's middleweight boxers having to emulate that lot !

Super middleweight not the strongest of divisions atm. Lightheavy and middleweight both much stronger.
