Liam Smith v Chris Eubank Jr

[NoSavingByTheBell]

Looked like U-bank doesnt have a lot of "pop" in his shots.

Excellent post Primo.

Liam Smith is a skilled and underrated boxer. He has innate boxing technique that just comes natural to him that others could never learn. Like James Toney he is gifted in the art of boxing. He was gaging Eubank and looking for openings. When he cornered him in the 4th round, he landed hurtful shots. The welt on Eubank eye was caused by an inadvertent elbow that followed on from the left hook.
The way Eubank capitulated could mean that he was weight drained as his resistance to taking a punch looked shockingly weak.

Eubank should really go on channel 5 and rebuild his career against domestic fighters but because of his ego and name he will take the rematch. The PPV money it too much to turn down and he will inevitably get beaten again unless Junior could persuade Smith to face him at super middleweight if he took a significant cut in the purse and location of the venue.

I hope Smith takes the money that Eubank had planned to get from facing Brook and Benn with these manufactured PPV fights that seem to be all the rage. He has earned it taking on fighters abroad and being robbed of the glory that lesser fighters get.

Smith then could entice Golovkin or even Charlo brothers for the world titles.
