Chris Eubank Jr vs Liam Smith Prediction: the Revenge Bout Will Repest Itself

On September 2, the already several t🦩imes postponed rematch between Chris 💃Eubank and Liam Smith will finally take place in the UK.

The fight is scheduled for twelve rounds. The first fight occurred on January 21, 2023, and then Liam Smith unexpectedly won, knocking out an overconfident opponent in the fourth round. But the story continued - Eubank's team accused his opponent of elbowing him in one of the co﷽mbinations, ♐as proof of which they presented a huge hematoma of their ward. The video with a slow-motion replay, where you can see how the elbow does touch the face (it seems to be just touching) went viral. Nevertheless, there were a lot of talks, but they have only subsided now, and this episode became almost the main reason for organizing a rematch.

Chris Eubank Jr

Chris Eubank Jr. is one of the top middleweight boxers, the former interim WBA champion, and the former IBO champion. Powerful punches and solid size characterize him. From time to time, Chris changes weight classes, trying to find "his" and at least come close to the achievements of his famous father, but so far, he has not succeeded. Before the loss to Smith, Chris Eubank had a winning streak of six fight🐻s (and only one TKO victory - over Matv💧ey Korobov).

Liam Smith

Liam Smith is a former WBO champion. Before his win over Eubank in January, Smith had won three straight by knockout, 🌃but the Russian boxing fan knows him more for his two outstanding confrontations. In 2016, Smith fought Saul Alvarez, and although he lost, he looked pretty decent. And in 2021, he stepped into the ring against Magomed Kurbanov at the RCC Boxi🐻ng Promotions tournament. The guys made an incredible fight with mutual chances for knockout; the bout resembled a war, and the judges gave the victory to the Russian boxer by unanimous decision.

Expert Betting Tips

In the rematch, the favorite is already Liam Smith, and the arguments of the experts are mainly reduced to the fact that Smith has gained great momentum; he has seen strong opponents and knows very well what he can offer to Eu🏅ban💖k. The chances of Eubank in the first half of the fight are more significant, as Smith usually speeds up along the way and is always very good at the end. But aggression in the opening rounds is quite fraught - we saw how it all ended in their first confrontation. So Smith really has a better chance to win - in the first half of the fight, he can catch his opponent in the face. If the bout drags on, he will in his style, smash him in the end.
