Smith is ageing into the sort of bloke my dad plays snooker with once a week.

Hoping there's a trilogy fight. Leaving Benn twiddling his thumbs.

Really? He’s ready to go isn’t he?
Not if he still has his wits about enough him to make Eubank miss 15 out of 20 punches.

I don't think it matters anyway, the way Eubank came out in the 6th, didn't seem to take too much out of him.

Eubank should just jump all over him. Smith offering nothing.

Also, no way Smith has better conditioning than Eubank. Only way he wins is a shot from the gods

Such a clear fight to score. Bit messy. But Smith ain’t doing anything.

That uppercut that put him down concussed Smith I think. He doesn’t seem to have recovered since that round.

Commentators suggesting Smith has done his ankle.

I'm no fan of jn but the 1 thing I've always thought about him is he has great athleticism/stamina since his bjs fight :bag:

In the first round when the ref brought them in for a chat, he was dabbing his foot down. Seemed like he was testing it or trying to work it off.

Smiths leg looked wobbly before the knockdown ..like he’d done his ankle

He’s a tough bastard isn’t he? he’s still looking for that money shot as well

I think it's the best of Eubank here. He would kick Benn's arse for sure.

Smith looking old

It will be very interesting to hear what team Smith have to say afterwards.
