    Frank Warren posted on Twitter a rematch has been signed for the WBO title eliminator.

    Fair play to Smith for taking the rematch and Williams for not kicking up a fuss over the controversial ending!

    How do you see this going?

    I think Smith needs to be a lot better than last time. Took a while to get into the fight, so it will be interesting if he gets into the fight earlier.

    Take away Smiths ability to to land his flying headbutt and improve Walsh cardio, should definitely be Walshs fight

    Williams will beat him again, that cut was bizarre.
    Why are posters saying Walsh?

    Williams will have to pace himself a lot more in this fight. He burnt way too much fuel in the first half of that fight. If he does that I fancy him to beat Smith, if he starts like last time he'll get caught by Smith late on.

    Williams should have won that it was the worst headbutt I've seen for a while.

    Was a great fight with a lousy ending. Shame as I used to like Smith but since this fight I really hope Williams smashes the cnut badly..

    Glad for rematch so Williams can get some redemption. Don't buy into Williams being that gassed before the headbutt n that he was on course to get spanked anyway. He was winning the Rd he got butted in.

    Very poor from Liam last time. Missing weight then winning with a headbutt. Not a great advert for boxing.

    Anyone think there was more to him missing weight than an honest mistake? He wouldn't be the first of the brothers to intentionally miss weight.

    Be another good scrap. Smith did well late on but you can take away that headbutt which was a shocker...

    Williams just needs to pace himself better, learn when to take a breather cause he was landing some sweet shots at times.

    Williams won the first 5/6 but I think Smith was really coming into it and would probably have stopped him but the way it ended left a bad taste. The fight deserved a proper conclusion with no controversy. Williams did look like he was getting tired but had done by the far better work overall. Smith will have to start faster and improve if he wants to make sure he wins this time.

    Another good one to look forward to. Where is it going to take place?

    I hope they stick in a clause of some kind for a fine if Smith comes in over again, that was disgraceful last time.
