    Great fighter Liam and tough with no quit and Eubank seems to be a model pro and I like him too
    However in the interest of fairness .. Any one else see it looked like Liam landed two massive
    deliberate Elbows on Chris and would explain the Eye and the way the fight ended... Not saying I'm right
    but that is how it looks .... Looks really bad if you slow the footage down ....

    The 2nd elbow lands the first time Chris goes down to his knees .... both elbows are before the uppercut ..Slow the footage down and scroll the footage
    manually ... it looks quite clear cut .....https://mobile.twitter.com/iDontPlayUK
    2nd vid down ... slow it down and scroll the footage manually

    It’s an elbow but he only hits him with the elbow because Eubank moves to avoid being hit.

    It always looks worse in slow motion but the fight didn’t take place in slow motion. Looks fine to me. I don’t think Smith is deliberately trying to elbow Eubank.

    Just the eye damage is like MMA eye damage off a sharp elbow .... I dont know ....didnt seem to get hit in that spot other than off an elbow ??
    And goes down after 2nd elbow ... Yeah your right things can look worse slowed down

    Beefy was throwing the hook and landed the elbow cos Eubank was pulling up. Nothing intentional about it.

    maybe if Eubz had implimented a real defence instead of jiving around with no rhyme or reason he wouldn’t have swung himself into an elbow

    Eubank’s right glove should’ve automatically been up to the side of his head, but yes a big elbow lands to the temple hard!

    His old man always brought that glove up cupped around corner of skull when an opponent attacked wildly

    Though Jr doesn’t have the lateral movement or bobbing weaving of his old man to get out of that situation, his old man was quite poetic at all that making it look effortless

    This stuff happens in many fights, nobody mentions it and no threads are made about it. It’s an occupational hazard.

    The elbow doesn't look that bad. The left hook misses (before the uppercut) and his elbow/arm skims the top of eubanks head as eubank is ducking.

    That's more a by product of terrible defence.

    He looked like a fish out of water.

    The elbow did land but it wasn’t intentional in my opinion, plenty of clean punches in the sequence that had Eubank hurt
