If Eubank loses is this the end of the road for him?
There will be a new narrative and another rematch with Smith until he wins.

I see a copy of the Joshua-Ruiz rematch. Eubank will peck and poke his way to a points victory.

Eubank may become more defensive, but that won't suit him.
Furthermore Smith is a quality operator at this level, he doesn't need a fella in front of him to find the target.

Eubank has never remotely shown the skill or ring craft to peck and poke for points against a solid operator like Smith. He literally isn’t good enough to outbox Smith. No chance.

I quite like Eubank's patter. Given what happened first time round, he did a good job in the press conference. He has bottle too, going right back in with Smith. He's growing on me.

Not really, a big win and he'll be back in the mix. He'll get fights too with his name.

Been critical of Boxxer but think this could be a good card if they get a competitive opponent for Jonas.

Still think Eubank Jr best win is Blackwell, dont forget Blackwell stopped John Ryder probably the most underrated win in Britain

DeGale is the best name.
I reckon Liam Williams is his best win. Not Blackwell.

I said similar earlier. If it was Billie Joe Saunders then he’d have hundreds of amateur fights to draw off. Eubank in all his wins literally has it his own way from opening bell to finish. When he encounters hardship he’s then relying on the other guy knackering himself out, that’s more or less the only way he turns it around vs Smith.

I agree. Blackwell had a win over Ryder but Ryder also lost to Fielding and Arnfield back then while Blackwell also lost a few others. Ryder's recent performances are not from the same guy that Blackwell beat and Blackwell didn't have a great resume outside of Ryder.
Abraham gets an honourable mention as biggest name aswell, well past it though

I went to Ellesmere Port to watchthe Eubank/Abraham fight in a cinema.
Remains one of the oddest things Ive done in my life in hindsight.

Ticket prices for Liam Smith vs Chris Eubank Jr. 2 have been slammed by fans who say £509 for the lowest-priced inner ringside seat is shocking.
At the higher end, the price for a closer inner ringside seat is almost £750. To sit at floor level, Smith vs Eubank Jr. 2 organizers expect fans to fork out £229 and £276 for the privilege.
The news comes as boxing fans air their disbelief, and BOXXER reported that over seventy percent of Liam Smith vs Chris Eubank Jr. rematch tickets were sold.
However, this is slower than expected, and many pricier tickets remain on Ticketmaster.
Smith vs Eubank tickets were in significant demand the first time. The rematch certainly doesn’t have the same appeal.
However, organizers are still predicting a sellout on June 17. Tickets for Smith vs Eubank Jr. 2 remain on sale at Ticketmaster.

Seems to have sold incredibly well and much better and more quickly than I thought it would.
Jr is box office and Liam Smith is probably the number 1 NW star right now.

Tickets these days are astounding. I paid £75 for block 202 row j. That's about 6 rows from the very back. Like wise paid over £100 for my tick to the last AJ fight and again our seat was the far back upper tier you could get.
I used to remember 70 quid got you a decent seat on the lower tiers but not anymore.
