    I thought he looked better than I've seen him, but still a snack for GGG. Even now. Would be ok with being proved wrong. Let's see the fight.

    I wasn’t as impressed with Eubanks performance as I was underwhelmed with Smiths, who did nothing.

    What was going on? Have you got intel? He seemed to have no right leg. When he threw the overhand right you could see he looked one-legged

    What do you know about the shady underworld? Any chance we was given an envelope and told to "make sure the Benn fight happens, lose by knock out and you'll get the other half next week"?

    Why cannot you just give CEJ the credit he deserves. Part of the reason smith couldn't work inside is because Eubank would tie him up immediately. CEJ established good jab, good timing and he nullified Smiths weapons.

    If you watch the post fight conferences Smith admitted rolling his ankle but says it has happened in plenty of fights. He just came out flat.

    He looked bad but Eubank made him look worse just admit it.

    The biggest question is what was wrong with him last time. Obviously must have been terribly drained trying to get to 157 and then back to 160, for such a long period. He looked a lot bigger I thought around the shoulders.

    The Smith ankle issue was a complete fallacy. Sky thought they’d hit the jackpot with that theory but Smith didn’t even mention it until prompted and only spoke about the weight cut. Jonas even said that Smith turns his ankles all the time and it was a non issue.

    While technically challenged, Eubank is athletically levels above Smith and is the bigger man. The fact that he called out Brook and Been shows he’s still in the YouTube boxer mindset. I think he’s a waste of some talent. He was was humble and classy in victory and I respect that immensely. Smiths are are aggravating bunch.

    I'm not a fan of Eubank particularly, but it's always nice to see a gobshite wanker like Smith get completely humiliated.

    Yes. He corrected the mistakes from last time out. He fought the right fight stuck to his gameplan and showed he is on another level than Liam Smith.

    Technically best I have seen CEJ. The jab was fast on point and consistent kept hitting Smith’s head, left hook to the body was draining Smith and the uppercut was very good as well. After the fight I saw stats that CEJ out landed Smith 193-33 which was a shallacking.

    If CEJ had lost he would have been condemned as a fraud etc. The manner of his revenge victory was highly satisfying.

    Smith tried to do the same as last time, thought all he had to do was touch Eubank and it would be over and was shocked when Eubank stuck to a solid game plan and boxed his ears off all night. After the first knock down the writing was on the wall. Eubank would have beat Smith the same way last time if he had tied him up when he came inside

    Smith was flat and drained he said. Eubank was flat , drained and lacked punch resistance in the first one. Everybody has excuses.

    Eubank trained hard. He was strong , fit and boxed a good gameplan. Credit to him for taking the fight and winning it
