Round-by-Round: Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Liam Smith - 21 January 2023

[skanksta]

Ck needed a round there and he got it.

[skanksta]

Big round for EE - he made the first real dent.
5-4-1 CK, could be a bit round or so wider maybe ?

[JxhDel.]

87 - 84 Kongo. Ekow is a moped.

[JamesPhilips]

Great area level fight

[jameswilson]

Any rivers?

[joshj909]

Ronald on 5 live keeps referring to numbers on the clock face to try to help listeners visualise whereabouts in the ring the boxers are positioned.

He’s an innovative chap is Ron.

That's actually pretty clever

[skanksta]

Comms have it wider for CK than I do.
He defo was winning early and Ekow coming on late. Close fight....

[skanksta]

5-5-1 for me.
All on the last....,

[KiwiRider]

Essuman turning the tables, gritty little bugger!

ekow could be up. kongo could be up. Either way you would realllllly wanna win this last one.

It sounds it, although I think you’d need to be pretty sober to keep up.

[KiwiRider]

Oh that was a decent scrap.

I don't even want to think about a draw because that's what I have it as

[skanksta]

I got EE nicking that 115-114, either guy could get it or draw...

[emallini]

Close one

Cool.

[rd350lc]

How can Macklin give the last round to Essuman ?
1 decent punch .

[MightyWarrior]

It’s gonna be a draw

[gregregegg]

close last round. i thought kongo landed some good shots. ekow clearly landed the best shot, that probably wasnt but nearly could of been a knockdown.

Think ekow might edge this fight. pivotal moment was a harsh warning for holding to kongo, from that moment ekow could keep the fight where he wanted it.

[KiwiRider]

I'm OK with the decision, Essuman fought like a champion, dug deep late.

[margaret thatcher]

well earned by the cow

[handsofstone]

114-114 even, had Kongo edging the 12th to earn a draw despite him getting rocked momentarily with that big right hand from Essuman, good fight, Kongo swept the first 4 on my card, boxing at range keeping Essuman at bay with the jab and straight right, Kongo stopped in the 5th though and Essuman began getting up close and hustling him, Kongo got a bit ragged and started holding too much and occasionally spending too much time on the ropes, nearly paid the price though in the 9th I think it was when Essuman nailed him with a huge left then right, Essuman just keeps going though he's like a Duracell bunny, not always tidy but gets the job done, no qualms with the result or cards in general

[rd350lc]

Essuman had it right when he said it's what you can do when you are tired .
Was there for Kongo but he faded.
The engine keeps running .
