Neutral. Eubank the fav but Smith can win. Can see both winning, too tight to call. The best man - either - will win. Tight Lines.
It's a tough one for me because I favour eubank jnr too win and have invested a little. But I'd much rather see Kell Brook and Beefy.
I think Beefy will go down a time or two early, take over in the middle rounds, drop Eubank late and win a close decision.
You think he has the power to put down Eubank or you think the weight will have an effect on Eubank’s punch resistance? I’d be gobsmacked if Eubank is put down by Smith. Far, far harder punchers from 160-168 have barely put a dent in Eubank. From what I’ve seen Eubank clearly has one of the best punch resistance in British boxing. Age and weight could have a factor now but I seem to remember Williams landing absolutely flush and pretty much being totally ineffective.
Eubank in a competitive fight but ultimately quite comfortable fight, Smith to walk on to uppercuts. If he has some success with the jab, Junior will turn it into a brawl and will be the faster fighter. Will tie Smith up when he needs a breather. Said before Smith's on the decline, can see his timing not working for him and Eubank with the faster hands take advantage.
To add, I'm going off vintage Eubank here, which he isn't anymore. So could be completely wrong but he still has speed and timing and think he will be just too much for Smith overall.
