He ruined his career going with RJJ IMO. He lost muscle and that intense style he had. The strength and intensity is what made up for the poor technique.
Good point regarding Benn Snr. You only have to see him in that gladiator program he did with Eubank Snr to see how he came across like a petulant child with a chip on his shoulder. He does seem a lot nicer guy now though tbf.
What had Nate Vasquez ever done for that matter either? I remember when Sr wanted Shane McGuigan to train him after the Groves defeat. Jr shut it down..
I agree, I'm not a big fan of him but you have to show sympathy for what he has been through - must of been an awful time for him and boxing wise not really sure how anyone could be 100% focused after that. I do think Smith will win the rematch, but see it going into the later rounds this time
Really looking forward to the rematch. Was delighted that Liam won having always supported him, and I thoroughly enjoyed Eubank doing the funky chicken dance after getting up off the canvas. That said, Junior has been very entertaining throughout his career. Despite his technical limitations, he's been a very tough, durable lad. I believe he's done now though and there for the taking, much like how Degale was for him a few years back.
Has Eubank lost his big, fat face yet? Let’s not forget he was struggling to make middle weight a decade ago. He had to take his undies and stupid gloves off more than once. This is exactly why Smith should have said 154 please.
He was drained hes so much more talented and has better personality than the gormless smith fella who went all red when he said about cheating on wife if he has done that hes lower than worms belly he is a chav in my humble view smith where eubank is a decent young man hes got more talent in his wee pinky than smith in his whole body and I mean that
More talented apparently and yet Smith only needed a few rounds to have him stumbling around like a drunk outside Wetherspoons.
listen mate you know I respect you but thats a lot of bloody rubbish the code between man and wife man and mother of his children is the code no code with anybody else its the bond between lovers folk who look after each other folk who are there when other folk arent if you betray your wife your a terrible person in my humble view anybody who does that is a waster
You trying to get a rise out of me? You’ve had a few pops at me today despite me sticking up for you before when everyone’s been slating you. Smith is far more talented at boxing. We’re not talking personality here. If you like his personality you must be a bell end to like that arrogance. Smith is just normal down to earth person who doesn’t act up to make fights. I like boxing matches, all the bull poo that comes with it isn’t what entertains me. Cheating is bad of course but it’s a fact of life and many many men and women do it and make mistakes. For others to judge so much isn’t right in my opinion as it’s between the people involved.
mate im no bothered about whos slating who and whos sticking up for who I take each message as it comes you have chip on your shoulder and thats a fact smith more talented at boxing than eubank I mean that sort of comment is how I can never take you serious he is nowhere near as talented at boxing he won a strap against a un known and defended it against un known he is definition of paper champ cheating is what scumbags do especially when children involved it shows whos a scumbag easy way to filter them out
We’re talking boxing mate boxing. Name one thing Eubank does at boxing better than Smith and we’ll all have a laugh. Paper champ? Ok. If you’re bringing achievements into it. What has Eubank won? Thing is though, regardless of that boxing isn’t football, you know it’s not fair and not like a 38 game season where everybody plays everyone home and away and you categorically finish where you deserve, give or take. Less talented people can often achieve more in boxing. Not that Eubank has. So anyway what does Eubank do better than Liam Smith. Boxing technique wise. This type of statement has just made me realise you definitely shouldn’t be taken seriously.
