So I think it's going to be a cracking fight. He's not what he was but what he is now beats most fighters in Europe. When it gets tough and in the trenches, he's got it. The timing on this one may be right for Chris, with his fitness, his size, his engine. Probably the one with the most boxing talent is Liam Smith. I feel like Smith is going to win this fight. I hope he's not looking at "GGG" [Gennadiy Golovkin] and people in the future because this is his toughest fight to date. Eubank is not one to be bullied. But he can be hurt, he can be hurt to the body. When you know both guys as well, it's really hard to say that one is going to win. I'm quite on the fence, it is one of those fights. If he punches with spite and volume, he might even stop Liam Smith, who has been stopped before by Canelo Alvarez who is obviously a pound-for-pound fighter.
