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

[JamesPhilips]

3 lard asses in a row against prospects. Not a good advert for boxing

[Ricky]

Clarke is going nowhere. He's struggling to make a dent in a guy who doesn't even look like he should be a pro.

[Ruthless-RKO]

still clueless ?

After getting stopped within their jurisdiction, you are under suspension pending being cleared.
Foreign fighters don't bother to get the medical check until they return.
Obviously many times they don't need to return.

who stopped Smith in New York ?

He’s never lost a fight in NY.

But even if you take damage or anything they suspend you.

[KiwiRider]

One look at Clark's opponent is all you need, waste of time again.

First man to GTD with Dychko.
Acceptable match - The Erazer needs rounds...

With his age and Am experience, Fraser needs guys on the second Tier who will actually try and fight.
Otherwise he will be too old by the time he gets a chance at a title.
The division moves like a glacier these days.

[JxhDel.]

Frazer should end it ASAP, Espindola is breathing with his mouth and has an injured arm, from what I have heard in his corner.

Not to mention the long periods of silence and nothing happening in between them, really poor production. Even the semi pro fight nights I go to are more entertaining for the crowd than this. And people have paid to watch this dross!

[tony1234]

Can't see Clarke doing much on that evidence, should have had him out of there long before that if he is being serious . 6 rounders like this are a waste of time

Yes and loads of adverts too

It's far too early to tell. I'm only enough to remember getting slated after his performances against Ossie Ocasio and Dan Murphy.

[Glass Joe]

Yeah, pretty dire so far. Let's hope the last 3 fights on the bill overshadow it.

[Verdi]

Frazer should be putting guys like that away. You learn nothing from low level sparing like this.

Far to early to tell?
He's 31 and a top world amateur. Going rounds is a waste of time, you do that in the gym.
He should be going for the British like now.
Sink or swim, and from the looks of him tonight - sink.

Stick him in with Gorman next

10 fights to fight for the British title according to Shalom just then. What's he going to learn in more fights like that ?Put him in with Wardley now otherwise he's going nowhere

Too early in his pro career I meant. Just because he's 31, doesn't mean he will adapt to the pro game faster. Let's judge him when he fight someone with a chance of winning.

[skanksta]

That would be good.

Gorman, Dacres, Fisher, Wardley 3xBrit/Euro level...
Then go.
Way to early to write him off, he's huge, heavy-handed and well-schooled. I say Good British champ, wins a Euro, loses the big ones. Decent career.

[handsofstone]

Joyce set the template on how to match an ageing amateur stand out when he fought Lewison in a scheduled 10 rounder on his debut, I thought after the last can that Clarke swept aside that Shalom would've learned his lesson

I get that. But more nights like tonight mean nothing, and do nothing for his development. He didn't even need any defence tonight when there was nothing coming back at him, that's actually worse for his development

We agree on that. I just don't think we can judge his pro career off his performance tonight.

[skanksta]

Course we can't.

[Twinkle Toes]

Clarke wasn't impressive last time out either. SKY are so heavily financially invested in him they can't risk a decent match anytime soon.

[Oiky]

His pro career is laughable at the moment

Learning nothing

[Kilburn]

So how is Parker doing. Buncey saying he seems confused in there.

[MightyWarrior]

Hasn’t Joe earned millions by now?

He comes over really well and should be doing commentary or something, not taking heavyweight punches to the head anymore. I wish he’d retire.

[KiwiRider]

This Parker Massey fight is the most competitive so far
Massey must be buzzing the crowd are right behind him
