Chris Eubank Jr vs Liam Smith - December 17

Random fight for Parker. Don't really see the point in building him up again when he's pretty much a top tier gatekeeper now.

 

Tbh I’m just happy there’s another fight worth watching on the show, even if just for the weird novelty factor.
I quite like Parker.

 

Eubank points 116-112 type fight.

 

Show of hands if anyone's buying this?

Given now the number of regular streams that've been taken down.

 

Yeah, I'll be getting this. I'd rather it be free to air, but I will pay to watch a non-title fight when the fight itself is intriguing. When you stack up their strength and weaknesses it should be a good match up, on paper at least. For that reason alone It's worth getting, much more than a lopsided PPV 'contest' between a promoter's cash cow against a hyped up pudding which We've had a lot of in the past.

 

I have ordered Eubank Jr vs Smith on my Sky Box and I am looking forward to it. Should be a good one

 

Are you sure you fidnt read them wrong as Eubank Jr is 4/9 odds on, Smith is 15/8 (skybet) For Smith to have been betting favourite a swing in the odds like that would take a huge amount of money and for Smith to be pushed out to 15/8 you'd think he'd broke a leg.

 

Yep these have been the odds ever since the fight was made. Eubank the favourite. 1/1 on points and 3/1 by stoppage.

 

This fight appears to be exciting. Despite being heavier than Smith, Smith's shot selection is superior. Though I dislike Eubank, I understand why others do as well. Nonetheless, I believe the fight will be enjoyable. I'm hoping Smith wins, even though it will be a close fight in the end. However, I believe Eubank will gain the upper hand once his mental tricks are divulged. But I really hope I'm mistaken.

 

The press conference got a bit spicy.

 

I want to say young CHRIS walks through the feather fisted light middle but something makes me go points here. The kid has flattered to deceive, couldn’t get Liam Williams out of there, rumours of hand injuries and longstanding elbow problems, points seems more sensible.

Smith is a smart enough boxer to get into the second half of the fight, and should see twelve but doesn’t win on anyone’s card.
Junior seems like he needs a statement win, although does he get credit here for beating a past prime light punching 154lber?

When the fight starts depending on the early action if smith is getting bullied early I may get on Eubank ko later rounds 10-12 as a hedge.

I don’t see a Smith win as a smart pick whatsoever.

 

Eubank cuts the homophobe to shreds.

 

I actually can't wait, reckon it will be a fantastic fight. I've looked forward to it since it got made. Undercard is also pretty decent.

 

You’ve changed your tune rather quickly. Have you started acknowledging what some people have always said about him may be correct.
