Smith is such a niggly fighter. Always looking to hold and rub his head in, chuck the elbow. I don't like Eubank but it's 50/50 on who's more dislikable.

Should have been stopped a lot earlier that. Smith didn't throw for the last 3 rounds, and took so many clean shots to the head he'll be feeling it for a long time.

Ricky Burns stopped Willie Limond last night and announced his retirement. Now for Liam Smith doing the same to Chris Eubank jr.

The sage of boxing strikes again.

That's was really odd. Smith looked totally off it from the first bell.amd Eubank like a champion fighting a no-hoper

You weren't the only one Dave, the large majority of pundits went for a Smith win. Was expected an exciting fight, so reluctantly bought PPV, how disappointed was I, Smith hardly laid a glove on Eubank, but all credit to Eubank a superb display.

It was clear that Smith was injured early on but credit to Eubank, who was always on top and well-controlled throughout.

You complete idiot, Dave! How could you be so daft?

Thankfully, some of us didn't get it quite so embarrassingly wrong.

Not like I had £30 on Smith or anything...

My worst boxing bet since I put £50 on AJ to win by stoppage in the first round against Ruiz.

Bloody hell that was a bold bet, what were the odds?

11/2, I think.

I wouldn't normally put that much on, but I'd just won £200 on the Euromillions, saw Ruiz's torso and thought it looked a pretty safe bet!

I had recently seen a video on YouTube with the question of "will the uk respect my second amendment rights" which was essentially about dumb questions US people ask when travelling, I didn't realise they would actually do it. A bigger question has to be where was the gun on the way over and did the US allow him to board an international flight with it as carry on?

Zhang at 4/5 seems a put your mortgage on it bet for tonight. He needn't bother getting changed now.

I'm hearing Joyce has weighed in 25lbs heavier for this fight.

Always thought Zhang was gonna win, but was expecting a lot better from Joyce, he was useless, looked mentally scarred from the first fight, thankfully Zhang finished the fight early, otherwise he could have done serious damage to him. Not sure, where Joyce goes from here, he's 38 now, wouldn't be surprised if he called it a day.
