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

[Nightmare Roy]

That lump on Chris's eye would have come up no matter what weight he fought at.

Hope he can find a way to give it one last chance.

There is a rematch clause.

Feels too decisive for it to sell again. And Smith surely won't fight him at 168 or anything north of 160.

Smith said something along the lines of 157 at Anfield, CE clearly cant even make 160 anymore I'd say.

My first bet of the year, my first win

Was it David's Haye prediction of Eubank jr winning?

Very surprised to see Smith stop him.
Was it the speed as much as the weight that got Eubank? It's the punches you don't see etc ..

That's what I expected Liam Williams to have done to Eubank.

Chuffed for Smith - despite a solid record, he is still a very underrated fighter.

[funso banjo baby]

Matty Harris and tba What a stunning spectacle of the fine art.
Seconds before encryption I wonder how many people decided to ppv afterwards?

The referee had to be at the top of his game for that fight .....

I wouldn't be interested in a rematch, not sure Eubank would be either

Agree. Why does everything need a rematch? It's done, move on in whichever direction is left open.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Beefy's last 4 fights have ended in stoppage, he is on a bit of a roll

He’s on a killer mean streak!

I rate him much more than than I did a few years ago. When he was with Frank.

Dear oh dear. Didn't see it, did Eubank seem drained or has Smith turned into a killer puncher? Has he changed trainers, not followed his career dor a while.

Tough fir Eubabk now, will Benn Jr even wany the fight now after the damage done to chris' rep?

Skills pay the bills, Eubank struggles against the guys he can't overpower.

Didnt expected Smith to win like that honestly. Good for him Wondering what is next for him

Brook-Smith at 154

My first bet of the year, my first win

I had £260 on Liam.

Happy days what was the price

3.2 at Coral

Could have got 3.7 had I shopped around but was in town with no data on my phone so had to take it.

Yeah something tells me that there would be some money in that fight for both guys which is odd. Can’t see that fight ending well for Brook at all.

And still stands there with his hands down like a twat.

jr is all about ego and arrogance - cant box and has never had the power to bother any of the top boys anyway .
No doubt all the physchophants who think the sun shines out of his ass will just move onto another fake tosser to worship.

Let's put things in perspective, it's about levels, and Jnr is still a good fighter.

Shocking loss for Eubank jnr. I didn't see that coming in a million years. I'd be ditching Roy Jones double quick and try and salvage the final part of his career.

Congratulations to Liam Smith A no nonsense performance, hurt Eubank jnr and then wrapped up things brilliantly

[Delta Jay]

RJJ has ruined Eubank Jr

I think I'd agree. RJJ was blessed with something that I don't think you can teach to everyone and it looks like he's tried to teach it and Eubank just can't pull it off, leaving him exposed.

Didn’t a similar thing happen with P Whittaker and Zab?

[Switch hitter]

Liam will have a harder fight with the Mrs after the cheating rumours

[handsofstone]

Can't help but feel sorry for Eubank Jr, he's had a horrendous last 18 months or so, losing Seb and Sr getting sectioned, bad loss here, he's one of the most mentally tough guys in boxing, I'm sure he'll be back for the rematch but he's got to stop fckn about with that RJJ style

[Ruthless-RKO]

Liam will have a harder fight with the Mrs after the cheating rumours

He was sat backstage with his mrs after the fight.

All smiles.

[high tower 1]

If he fought in his old style he could have done much better.

[Glass Joe]

Eubank best win for me is still Nick Blackwell. He's built a career of fighting shot fighters way past their best. I would imagine there will be some kind of rematch, Smith will fight at a higher weight if the money is great.

I have seen a few of Eubank sparring Partners in the build up on insta and they arent even British level makes you think if he goes cheap on the sparring.

Thank god Benn didn't happen, can you imagine if Benn did that. Benn hype machine would have been mad and sell out Stadiums afterwards

Happy days, nice payout wonder why Smith was such an underdog? Bookies often get boxing odds way off IMO
