We're you impressed with Chris Eubank's performance?

They don't call me Sergadamus for no reason.

AJ couldn't channel anything to help him beat Usyk. He tried his ''more aggressive'' ''inner Femi'' approach and he looked like Herman Munster trying to swat a fly. The plan was to KO Usyk but he simply could not deal with Usyk's speed, footwork, movement, feints, and counter punching and when he was able to land with big shots Usyk's iron chin was able to withstand them. Usyk wasn't there to be hit like all those bigger slower behemoths.

My problem is not so much with CEJ winning the fight - back when I used to strongly dislike him that would've been the case - but rather two things.

1. People pretending like that wasn't a seriously compromised shell of Smith in there which was patently apparent and even worse totally undeniable if people are actually being honest with themselves.

2. The selective outrage mob suddenly piping up about ''excuses'' when they were as silent as church mice after the first fight when CEJ and what seemed like billions of his fans making nothing but excuses and they still are even now about it even though CEJ looked way way better in the first fight than Smith did in the rematch.

It's actually utterly bizarre how anyone can have the audacity to do so given the amount of CEJ fans who were doing that compared to Smith fans who are. The contrast is literally like night and day but they're all out in force complaining about excuses, including certain fighters and pundits. Where was their outrage about excuses after the first fight?

It's not CEJ's fault Smith was so badly compromised albeit if it's true Smith was heavily coerced to accept that date (not blaming CEJ for that) that's out of order and if he does grant Smith a rematch, which I suspect he will, I will not only afford him respect for doing so but should he beat an able-bodied Smith this time I will also afford him his respect for that too.

I can't give him too much credit for beating that badly compromised version of Smith (and CEJ fanboys aside most people realize that was the case) the other night because he was in against a crippled shell of Smith. It's like giving Kevin McBride and Danny Williams credit for beating a prime Mike Tyson when they beat a shell of him. Not saying Smith is shot like Mike was but he might as well have been given how badly compromised he was on the night.


Thanks

 

Uh-oh.. Sergsadamus gets it right again


'Although those previously mentioned opponents made sense, Janibek Alimkhanuly was waiting patiently for Eubank to call him out as well. In the end, the current WBO champion was a bit vexed that he was left out of the picture.

After giving it a bit of thought, the 30-year-old champion began to smile. Although it came across as a slight originally, he believes he knows why Eubank strayed away from mentioning his name.

“Why does he need Golovkin?” Questioned Alimkhanuly on his social media account. “Do you know why he doesn’t mention my name? Because I’m a nightmare. There is only one king in middleweight! And that’s me!”


With his eyes focused on wrapping two belts around his waist, Alimkhanuly is putting in the work during an arduous training camp. As for Eubank, Alimkhanuly doesn't believe that a showdown between them, if it ever came to fruition, would be competitive.

“He is easy work!”

Shots fired, CEJ should fire some back and secure himself a world title fight

 

Er. CEJ has said himself the goal is to become a world champion. That's what I'm basing this off. If he wants to become a world champion that's the best route for him to take to achieve that goal.

Liam Smith was ranked #2 by the WBO at MW prior to last Saturday night even though he's not actually a MW, CEJ will take his spot.

Janibek is the WBO champ. He's looking for unification match ups and fights against the big names and top dogs in the division.

I'n sure CEJ would place legacy over money if a world title was the prize. He's a big name in Britain as it is and he will earn big bucks for it. Not as big as the Benn fight but I'm not saying he has to fight Janibek next. He could do and if he wins he could defend the title against Benn and make the fight even bigger. But if he wants that world title there's a clear path to a title shot for him there right now and the champ will jump at the chance.

CEJ is a big enough name and star to sell well against a talented undefeated world champion who has the might of Top Rank and OG Bob behind him and the Benn fight will still be there for him. Even if they both lose their next fights the fight will still be huge.

If he take that one next fair enough and I'll definitely be watching it. But, again, I believe him when he says the ultimate goal is to become world champion and that world title fight is easy to make. It might not be as easy in six months to a year from now because Janibek might be locked up in unification fights.

GGG is mere shell of himself. If CEJ wanted that fight he should've took it when it was on the deck for him but he lost his pen. GGG should retire bu if not he should be ooking at those who hold titles not CEJ. He's earned well over $100 m in his career and he will earn well no matter who he fights. He doesn't need CEJ at all.

 

CEJ is the naturally bigger man and has fought at the elite level at 168 so he should've been the favourite going into the first fight and he's coming off a stoppage win of Smith so he rightfully should be again.

Olu, I think even that crippled Smith who didn't have his legs beneath him all fight and couldn't mount any kind of attack that consisted of more than one punch due to being so compromised hurt CEJ a bit with a right over the top at one point. If an able-bodied Smith turns up for the rematch and I think he will, assuming he didn't grow old over night the other day, it won't be anywhere near as easy for CEJ as it was the other night.

I favour CEJ because you're only as good as your last fight and it was concerning how bad Smith looked, but Smith fought tooth and nail against a prime Clenelo and gave him one of his tougher fights. Granted that was a vastly better version of him than we saw the other night but any version of Clenelo knocks CEJ out and I don't see it being too competitive

I'm not saying CEJ has a despicable fanbase but he has a weird and very vocal one. Of course there are some despicable elements there too but the selective outrage and hypocrisy is off the charts.

I don't think Smith is despicable. I've never particularly been a fan of him personality wise and I get why he can rub some up the wrong way. But I have enjoyed his trash talk game of late. And when I say trash talk I'm not talking about insults but rather the psychological warfare and mind games at play. He's surprisingly good at it. CEJ is pretty good at it too and I found their exchanges entertaining.

But to describe Smith as despicable is very harsh. You're a huge Twink fan, Olu, and I've never seen Smith do anything near as bad as some of the things he's done.

 

CEJ has called numerous fighters ''quitters'' and mocked them for taking the knee, including Brook and Dubois which you had huge issues with other fighters for doing the same, and this is after both CEJ and his father have been involved in separate ring tragedies where their opponents suffered serious brain injuries



He told his own trainer Ronnie Davies to ''stop talking'' when he was giving him advice in the corner. That was really disrespectful

During his post-fight interview for the Korobov fight he said it was probably ''karma'' that Korobov suffered a freak injury, a fight he's damn lucky Korobov got injured in. Korobov is literally one of the nicest and most unlucky guys in the sport. After being frozen out for years after the Andy Lee fight, a fight he was dominating prior to walking into Lee's pet right hook, when he did finally get a shot he was robbed blind in back to back fights and then suffered freak injuries in back to back fights in fights he was winning.

Granted it wasn't even two complete rounds against CEJ but he was lighting CEJ up with ease in that first round and the skill disparity between them was very apparent.

This rubbed me up the wrong way but it doesn't come close to some of the stuff Twink has done

Neither does Smith calling CEJ gay at the pre-fight press conference (if that's what you're referring to) when they're trash talking each other 18 months or so after the tragic passing of his brother (RIP) or he and his being up for a bit of argie bargie

You say they would've got ''dealt with'' but regardless of what you think of them they are or were former fighters, two of whom world champions and all of who fought for world titles. Smith's trainer is a former pro and sure the rest of the gym were in attendance too

And as for making excuses, need I remind you that's all CEJ did after the first fight

 

Olu, Twink has done a lot worse, many times, than threaten civil disorder only it's against women and civilians.

It's just wishful thinking on your part that they would've got ''dealt with''

This is amusing

They only thing which would've evened it up was the fact that Liam was such a severely compromised cripple

Callum Smith is a former world champion and a massive puncher

Paul Smith is a former 2 x world title challenger and many feel he deserved the decision in one of those attempts. He could crack a bit

Liam Smith is a former world champion and he had stopped like 15 of his previous 18 victims IIRC, CEJ being one of them. Granted that was an able-bodied version of him

Stephen Smith is a former world title challenger who like the rest of them has shared a ring with numerous world champions and really good fighters

Regardless of what you think of them, Olu, the fact that you have four boxing brothers from the same family who were all British champions and who all challenged for world titles, two of them actually holding world titles, is very impressive and they've all shared a ring with excellent-very good world champions many times

Who are these members of Team CEJ who would be administering this beat down to Team Smith in this hypothetical bare knuckle brawl between them?

CEJ?
Harlem?
Ronnie Davies who is in his mid 70s at least
Coked up Kalle?
The morbidly obese BoMac who couldn't climb two steps without blowing out of his ass?

I didn't even see Sr. in attendance. Was he there?

Who else?

Again, CEJ and his legion of fans made nothing but excuses after the first fight and they're still making them now even though CEJ looked light years better in that fight than Smith did in the rematch. And they accused Smith of cheating too
