Anyone who buys this PPV is helping to kill the sport.

i used to say about ppv if the fight and card are worth it i have no problem with paying it , but now any decent fight seems to be going ppv route without decent cards with the cost of living a ppv prices rising to £ 25 plus it's making people stream them

We got and undefeated BJS v Eubank jr on an undercard of Fury v Chisora for £12 normal subscription not that long ago. It will cost nearly £50 for two lesser quality fights 8 years later.

Yep and things are only gonna get worse. PPV prices are much cheaper in the UK than in the US, gradually or not so gradually that gap will close

I’ve seen a lot of boxers tipping Smith to win this. Is this because they’re pally with the Smith brothers or am I missing something.

I can’t see any attributes that Smith has over Eubank.

Jab, power, size, strength, age, etc. I just struggle to see how Smith wins this. He’s even prone to bad cuts.

a couple well matched fights and ppl got high on smith again. he's solid no doubt, good euro/fringe world level, he could feasibly outwork eubank and seems more sturdy than williams, but eubank should be fave

Never listen to who boxers are picking. They are just picking mates.

Liam hasn't got much chance. Too basic.

You can’t see any attributes smith has over Eubank? He’s the far superior boxer. Technically Smith is sound with very good shot selection. I agree with you about the size and strength being in Eubanks favour but technically speaking smith is probably better in every department

Williams did practically everything better than Smith and Smith broke his heart twice, Smith is one of the genuine hard nuts, it's the size that's the worry, and what will probably win it for Eubank

Jim Lampley noticed Liam Smith smiling at Mungia at one point in their fight and said "he's smiling as if he's saying yeah we both know what's going on here, I'm the better boxer, you're just a bigger stronger guy that I can't hurt"

Calling Liam Smith ‘basic’ is proper proper underrating Leprechaun you’re having a mare.

Consistently over the years he has shown far far better jab than CEJ. Not even close. Better overall punch variety, head movement/ways of defending.
