    Smith probably crashed at the weight again, he had to kill himself to make it for the Eubank rematch. He looked huge at the sit down thing they did with Frampton.

    What was the other fight?

    Only one I can think of was Stevenson pulling out of the Cordina fight bit that was on the Bivol Beterbiev card.

    Shame that, was looking forward to this fight. Weight issues again? Wouldn't surprise me to see him retire, when he was on that face to face thing he didn't look like someone who was in training. Could've been filmed a while ago I suppose.

    Connor Eggs Benn must be looking to hatch out of his shell.

    Must be so frustrating going through a training camp for the fight to fall through at last minute

    Not sure but I thought there was another fight on the card that got pulled a week or so back.

    Now I'm thinking about it you may be right with the Cordina fight on Bivol card

    I like Smith as a fighter but I hope it’s the last decent fight he gets. His job is to maintain the weight and get in shape, if he isn’t arsed doing that then he shouldn’t be getting fights.

    He wasn’t right vs Eubank but admitted when he got injured he piled the weight on. For someone earning a few mil there is no excuse not to have a nutritionist prepare your meals and show some discipline

    Was looking forward to Kelly boxing Smith’s white haired nut in.

    Saw the face off TNT sit down, was thinking LS simply didn't even sound himself, hes normally way more vocal and if you watch it again yes respect between the two of them but not a lot of eye contact.

    I didn't know the fight was off until logging on here, hindsight is easy but not surprised, LS has surely made enough money from boxing probably time to call it a day.

    I'm just gutted cos I was betting against him.
    Seeing his chubby little face at face off made me think he was turning into ricky hatton

    Smith is so unprofessional these last few years. Settled for the money after the first eubank fight. (Wouldn't blame him). But missed out on some decent money and fights since

    He was on his arse due to the bad back injury.

    The fight is over a week away - what sort of virus has he got?

    Odd to see a fighter pull out this early due to a virus with over a week to go before the fight.

    If he can't train it makes total sense.

    He could still maintain a calorie deficit and behave professionally? I get that you are a fan, but it’s getting ridiculous now.
