    Looking forward to seeing if Junior can get some revenge for being shown up last time. Should be a cracker.

    50/50 think Eubank has learned not to be a **** like last time
    Hope Smith wins but can see Eubank 100 % better

    Sky boxing coverage is atrocious. Commentary especially! They all sound bored. With that undercard and the amount of holding in that first round not hard to see why I guess but they could at least try :D

    Well deserved for Eubank slightly early stoppage maybe but smith offered very little tonight. Neither fighter is of the calibre to be on PPV. Was a bit like the boxing version of Sheff UTD vs Everton earlier technically a prem league game but championship in terms of quality.

    Dominant display with two knockdowns and a stoppage. Ref did the right thing to stop it. Both had lost 3 fights but Junior couldn't afford the loss. 1 win each, rematch time.

    Can't stand Eubank Jr but happy with the stoppage there. Points shutout. Smith's only hope was a KO and he'd showed no indication that he'd got that in him. Why wait until he's seriously hurt when you can save him from his own bravery?

    I wouldn’t want to see that fight again. Smith probably should retire if his ankles are that bad he can’t move backwards properly. Eubank should fight anyone but Kell Brook.

    looking at it back it was the right decision to protect the fighter but Eubank was in a much worse state before his fight got stopped the first time around.

    The stoppage was right smith took rounds of punishment without throwing much back. Punch bag on legs at times, wouldn't want to see that again either.

    Yep Smith should quit now, never looked in it and Eubank looked to be getting stronger as the fight progressed, stopped at the right time before Smith got hurt. No interest in a rematch because Smith has nothing to bring to the table. Eubank needs a final title shot now before he starts to decline..

    Could it be possible he picked up the weapon here and not fetched it with him.

    In theory I suppose he could’ve but they aren’t readily available over here. Really strange all round why a multi millionaire who’s living in a top hotel all the time he’s here is walking around with a gun.

    It’s hard to understand under what circumstances he would need a gun in this country. Bonkers.

    I suppose they aren’t if you know who to ask / where to look but I find it hard to imagine an American boxing trainer who’s only come over for a week or so before the fight & is living in an hotel knows how to get his hands on one.

    There would also be no point buying one over here when you’re looking at 5 years for possession when he can just buy one no questions asked in the States.
