He is already accomplished it, nobody had accomplished that to Chris Eubank.

We’re not going to see a battle that takes some time to heat up on Saturday night time, that is going to be cooking from the time they stroll into that ring.

Shane McGuigan (Prime coach):

I feel it is a very arduous battle for Eubank to win. Actually he cannot mirror on something from that first battle with confidence.

You want one or two fights in between, for those who get knocked out, combating that very same man that knocked you out. That is my opinion.

Liam Smith late, mid to late I would say, I feel he’ll get to him. I feel Eubank’s too massive for the load. I feel he must go to 168lbs.

Harlem Eubank (Cousin who’s been in coaching camp):

It was nice to see him in a full on coaching construction. There was no room for error.

Every little thing was ticked off. I’ve by no means see Chris like that earlier than. Each session he was on time. Early if something.

I’ve by no means seen him get up at 8am [for training]. Every little thing was the way it needs to be for a person that is coming to get revenge.

The construction that they’ve given him is I feel all that he required to go and be himself, be tenacious, be livid, be explosive and be the conventional Chris Eubank Jr that we all know. I feel that is sufficient to come back and put a press release in and get revenge.

That is his character, that is what he’s, that is in him.

I feel it should be explosive. He is received it within the tank to go the gap. I feel he additionally has the potential to cease Liam. He has coated all floor for this battle and I am excited to see him put a present on.

Joe Gallagher (Former Smith coach):

Eubank’s received to go in there and provides it his finest. However he isn’t higher than Liam Smith at combating and he isn’t higher than Liam at boxing.

Individuals give loads of credit score to (Vasiliy) Lomachenko for downloading knowledge however on a regular basis Liam Smith’s in that ring with you, mentally, psychologically he is downloading knowledge. Watching what you are doing, the way you react to stuff.

Marcus Morrison (Earlier Eubank opponent):

I did not suppose the primary battle was going to go the way it did. I feel lots of people would say the identical. I feel Liam Smith will get a stoppage however I feel it is late on this time, perhaps rounds 9 or 10.

I feel he may need to climate a little bit of an early storm, which he’ll be ready for and he’ll most likely see coming. I feel Eubank will begin quick and try to stamp his authority on the battle. However because the mid rounds come I see Liam taking on and getting him out of there in direction of the tip of the battle.

Spencer Oliver (Former European champion):

It was very conclusive the primary time round. Sure, Eubank had slightly little bit of success within the third spherical however Liam Smith notoriously offers these first few rounds away sussing his opponent out, searching for the openings earlier than he begins setting traps. That is precisely what he did.

I discover it very tough to see a manner Eubank can flip this round though I feel he does higher this time and it might even presumably go to factors however I feel there’s nonetheless just one winner and that is Liam Smith for me.
