    Yeah probably, especially after that last KO he might tread even more lightly going forward.

    Agreed. Eubank beat a fighter who was coming off a back injury and did his ankles in early on. He called out GGG (he’s ducked him and let Brook take the beating) now I hope he does fight GGG, and if he beats him, then I’ll be convinced.

    Yeah that was a bad look and Smith just, as you say, was badly off right from the outset. Had he beat an able-bodied Smith with an ounce of vigor in him I'd have no problem giving him credit but that was just an absolute shell of him for whatever reason and I can't see how anyone can deny that.

    A 50 year old GGG coming off of a decade long lay off still hospitalizes Eubank.

    I had an exchange with Paul Smith so I don’t think he is a good lad and Liam talked so much **** before this rematch. This was the best performance I have seen from Eubank technically.

    Indeed. Just like his old man: content to fight domestic level fighters (that is what Brook is now given his age and the wear and tear - but he was world class and had a bigger bunch of minerals to fight a prime GGG than that gutless twerp Eubank who ducked him). He beat an injured fighter who put up a decent fight against a prime Canelo.

    As for calling out Benn. That fight is a joke and if it is made, then both of them will have lost any self-respect they had.

    The Benn fight will happen at some point whether you agree with it or not. The public want it, both fighters want it and you can be sure as hell the promotors want it.

    From reports Brook has expressed interest as well and why wouldn't he? it would make him a shed load of money.

    Again, you do know this is prize fighting?

    Eubank’s knocking him down did the damage also his left hook, jab and uppercut did damage.

    I can't disagree mate, as I said above Smith wasn't right from the start very static clearly heavy footed. Eubank may think he's elite but he's anything but and his resume proves that.

    Even though CEJ won he still left his hands down especially the last few rounds, his legs weren't very fresh too perhaps this is Benn's chance as he is big & young with less wear & tear.

    So true but was it Roy's idea for Chris to take on so much of his style in the first place?

    Very & he just looked old from the get go like one of those fighters who just aged out on the night.

    Yeah, I know it's prize fighting, and you know as well as I that some fighters are glory seekers, who have way too much pride, honor, integrity and dignity to consistently stoop as low as this hacky scumbag, who's never met a challenge that didn't terrified him. Jake Paul is a big money draw as well, yet there's very few boxers leaping at a chance to fight him. But hey, by all means, encourage the continued denigration and degradation of this once great sport, by running interference for this kind of deplorable ***** like behavior.
