What do we expect from Chris Eubank Jr vs Liam Smith?
Chris Eubank Jr is now a seasoned pro, similar to Smith who has more amateur experience. Eubank however has been on the bigger stages and should have some natural size advantage over Smith. Outside of both boxers’ technical ability, Eubank has always brought a solid mental game to his pre-fight antics. From the early build-up, you can tell he’s getting under Smith’s skin, and fighting emotionally is what Eubank wants. I can see this being a close enough fight, with Eubank Jr having the slight edge due to movement, cardio, and more variety than Smith. Smith (32-3-1, 19 KOs) is on a major winning streak at the moment with recent wins over Jesse Vargas, Anthony Fowler, and Roberto Garcia. Smith. After his winning BOXXER debut in September, Smith immediately set his sights on Eubank Jr as he plots his path to becoming a world champion for a second time. Liam Smith has incredible fundamentals inside the ring. I can see this being a close enough fight, with Eubank Jr having the slight edge due to movement, cardio, and more variety than Smith. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMLnqPjqoAY We Love Sport Prediction We predict a really close fight!
