Chris Eubank Jr exacted revenge over Liam Smith in dominant fashion, dropping the 35-year-old on the way to a tenth round stoppage victory.
Smith couldn’t compete with Eubank’s smart, measured and punishing work that saw him win every round before forcing the referee to step in and stop the action.
It was revenge for the Brighton man after Smith stopped in back in January, silencing doubters who believed it would be repeat rather than revenge. Post-fight, fighters and pundits praised Eubank’s performance as well as highlighting a potential Smith injury.

He won’t make excuses Liam as it’s not his way but anyone who knows boxing or knows him knows that something was clearly up from round 2 onwards! Credit to Chris Eubank for getting back in there with him but for me that wasn’t the Liam Smith we all know! ?

I might be wrong but I think I can remember Liam Smith rolling/flexing his own ankles before fights. Effected him tonight. Smart, disciplined performance by Eubank.
