Comments Thread For: Liam Smith: Eubank Tried Everything To Make Benn Fight; To Save Face Had To Take Rematch

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Liam Smith doesn't think Chris Eubank Jr. truly wanted to take their rematch. Eubank exercised his contractual right to an immediate rematch with Smith on February 14, but more recently re-engaged in negotiations to reschedule his ill-fated fight versus rival Conor Benn. Eubank boxed Smith on January 21

I love how boxingscene writers release these "articles" based on quotes from interviews from days ago. Liam Smith needs to admit he elbowed Eubank in the head before landing the big punches.

Smith is absolutely spot on and if Jr. could have fought an even smaller guy in Benn he would have .He knew by doing that he'd be banned from boxing at home .Lets not forget Smith is a decent level fighter but has always been a light middleweight the defeat Jr. suffered would have finished a career with out a name made famous by his dad.

Imagine Jr getting stopped again and regretting he didn't cash out vs Benn in a fight staged in middle east by fast money EdeH. lol

Let's also not forget, if Smith was offered the Benn fight over a eubank rematch, where he'd double his purse, he'd take it in a heartbeat.

If Eubanks loses to Smith, his career will be over. The only fight he'll have left will be a fight against Benn. Which means he'll basically become a exhibitions fighter at this point.

He'll be able to call out Mayweather, Roy Jones Jr, and Jake Paul.

Eubank Junior for me, was suffering from the chronic effects of weight draining himself for the Benn fight 'During the Smith fight'.

I would not be surprised if Smith does not deck Eubank Junior on this rematch.

Still? Skill for skill I was extremely impressed with Liam Smith, and even if he struggles to hurt Eubank Junior 'I still make him the favorite for the rematch'.

There is real jeopardy in this fight for Eubank Junior, it is a fighters fight to make 'Eubank Junior deserves credit for taking the immediate rematch'.

I think the rematch is a bigger and better event than the first fight etc.
