    He messed up going to RJJ, so it's gonna be a tough comeback from this.

    He tried to fight like Roy, which is impossible. Even Roy couldn't fight like Roy when age started hitting him.

    He's lost muscle mass since going to RJJ. Besides the physical appearance, he also seems to have lost the explosiveness and killer instinct he had.

    I don't see a way back to world level personally. He's too old and the chin is most likely cracked.

    He might make some quick paydays from the rematch and maybe Con Benn down the line.

    I do wonder if him cutting that weight has had an effect?

    He has some options:

    1. Rematch Liam Smith

    2. Conor Benn at 160

    3. Kell Brook at 160

    4. Move up to 168

    5. Retire

    I hope the rematch doesn’t happen and he retires because he has made good money without taking too many risks. It’s a tough defeat to come back from as he has been knocked out against a naturally smaller guy.

    He should retire. His punch resistance was one of his biggest assets and clearly it’s no longer there so he should just call it a day. He doesn’t have the power to beat world level operators.

    Rigged for an Anfield rematch where they will once again rinse the public for PPV dough. You have to get up early to fool me

    Charlatan Eubanks Jnr and PED Conman Benn are making millions off the back of father's careers.

    The Box Office mugths must be reeling

    That was a career ending defeat.

    It's sad tbh. He is a good lad and had great physical attributes. He hung with much bigger guys like George Groves.

    The problem was he had too much ego and didn't join a proper gym. RJJ was subpar, from both a technical aspect and S&C wise.

    Young Warhorse version of Chris Jnr would have drowned smith IMO.
