The highly-anticipated rematch between bitter middleweight rivals Liam ‘Beefy’ Smith and Chris Eubank Jr has a new date, with the two now set to collide in at the AO Arena, Manchester, England, on Saturday, September 2nd.
Liam Smith: “I’m glad that the date is set now and we can look forward to getting rid of this itch that needs scratching. I’m fully healed up now, injury-free, and I’m looking forward to finishing Chris Eubank Jr’s career on September 2nd.”
Chris Eubank Jr: “No more excuses, no more postponements. Smith can’t run forever. September 2 is the day of my revenge.”
Based on the last result I do not think Smith is running from you Chris! LOL! Usually I am the one on here complaining about early stoppages. That was an example where I thought they let it go a little too long! The rematch should be interesting. Smith has been on a roll!
Good for these two able to still headline a card. Smith gives hope to all the middle aged men with grey hair wishing to make a run at something.
I would consider Smith an overachiever.
We see what happened when Eubank switched his style to box like RJJ. He got knocked just the same. Unless you have supreme athleticism like Roy had in his prime it should not be attempted.
The fight Should sell as plenty people want to see Eubanks lose.
Likely to see same result, Eubank doing ok in the first few rounds and then Beefy will catch up with him
Smith didn’t want the return, he postponed this fight two times, he was hoping Eubank would get tired of waiting and move on. Eubank had a lot of person issues going into the first fight with the loss of his big brother and his dad’s emotional state with the loss of his son. not to mention the up and down with his weight for the Benn fight. Eubank will win the return without a doubt.
I can see this going the same route as the last one.
