DeGale versus Chris Eubank Jnr

DeGale versus Chris Eubank Jnr

Will we finally get to see an explosive knockout finish to one of the first top UK fights of 2019 between James DeGale and Chris Eubank Jnr? 

The end of last year was pretty disappointing as we didn't get any KO finishes to our top fights.

I was hoping to see a KO finish between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder but it didn't happen and if it had it looked like it would have been the Gypsy King getting knocked out in the US.

Again there was no explosive finish between Frampton and Warrington in their recent clash, again it was decided on points.

So this time I am hoping Chris Eubank Jnr can finally supply us with a KO finish to this fight and we don't have to wait 12 rounds for another points decision.

You can watch the full press conference below and then some chat from the fighters and a workout from DeGale.

 

Here is a recent interview with Eubank Jnr taken after the main conference where he discusses fighting DeGale and his reply to comments that the loser should have to retire and not carry on boxing if they lose.

He also discusses the recent loss by Groves and also comments on the recent Tyson Fury draw in America.

He clearly thinks he can beat DeGale and reckons he will take him out in "Spectacular Fashion".

Watch the full interview here.



So Eubank Jnr thinks he will destroy DeGale but James DeGale's trainer Jim McDonnell thinks Chris Eubank is a "pretty basic fighter" and that DeGale has the upper edge in this upcoming fight.


Here is a taste of what Chris Eubank will face in the ring.

Watch a recent heavy bag workout from James DeGale now.

Josh Warrington wins action-packed fight over Carl Frampton

Warrington v Frampton - Result

Josh Warrington defended his IBF featherweight title with a well-earned win over Carl Frampton in Manchester, England.



Warrington v Frampton

Josh Warrington (28-0, 6 KOs) entered Saturday’s IBF featherweight title defense as the betting underdog against former world champion Carl Frampton (26-2, 15 KOs), but Warrington capped off a brilliant 2018 with a thrilling performance and well-deserved unanimous decision victory over “The Jackal.” 

The native of Leeds, England used a relentless pace, high-volume attacks, and blinding speed to largely overwhelm the Northern Irish star throughout the thrilling contest.

While Warrington isn’t much of a power puncher, he seemingly had Frampton stunned on multiple occasions, but Warrington was more than willing to exchange bombs with him. 

Warrington got off to a phenomenal start with his early aggression in the first couple of rounds, but towards the midway point and into the second-half of the contest, Frampton fought back through effective counter-punching, vicious body shots, and an ability to win those close quarters exchanges that he’d lost earlier in the contest. However, those adjustments were too little, too late, as Warrington had more in the gas tank, and he had the more consistent offensive success down the stretch to pull away on the scorecards. 7

Official result: Josh Warrington def. Carl Frampton by unanimous decision (116-113, 116-112, 116-112) to retain the IBF featherweight title 

Having won the title from Lee Selby in May, this win over Frampton validates Warrington as an elite featherweight and someone to watch more intently in 2019, particularly if he lands a unification bout vs. WBO champion Oscar Valdez.

As for Frampton, his three-fight winning streak comes to a halt, and he was simply outgunned by the better fighter.
