Ignoring for a minute that Liam Smith jibed JR for giving excuses, what for me is absolutely appalling, is that when Smith was injured, he allegedly let himself get 42lbs over his required weight. Any high-level, professional athlete should never, ever let themselves get that out of shape. Who on Earth has he got around him to let him continue to blow up in size when he has a big fight later in the year? Everyone demolished JR for his alleged poor attitude, but quite frankly a weight gain of that magnitude shows Liam Smith did not take this vaguely seriously.
But he did just stand infront of jr the whole fight and get beat up like a punchbag didn't he , he's only explaining why that was. If you think bo mac has waved a magic wand and eubanks suddenly turned Into Robert Duran then I think you need to sit down and have a rest for a minute
I would also feel God awful if I had gained and lost three stone in that timeframe, but my point is that it is grossly unprofessional - frankly it's beyond that. Regarding the trainer comment, which I'm unsure how it relates to Smith's inability to limit calories, I do not think Eubank is now some elite fighter. Evidently the names he called out afterwards showed that he is not there in my view.
I suspect he vastly exaggerated how much weight he gained. If not then piling on that much is incredibly unprofessional, especially from someone with Liams experience.
I injured my back which is a reoccurring problem now and when it goes I can't walk for around 3 plus weeks if I'm lucky, which means I'm literally bed bound. If he had a bad injury and was laid up it's easy to pour on weight. On average, I'd do 30 steps a day just going back and forth to the loo. If he was say 12 lbs heavier before camp and weight cutting and then did his back in you can see how he could add an additional amount of weight. Some fighters walk around weights are surprisingly high which is insane . Look at Peirera in the UFC and what he has to cut, it shouldn't be allowed really.
@@harryblox760 As a professional making millions of dollars it's on you to eat the right foods, hire a nutritionist, whatever you have to do. Sitting around getting supposedly 50 pounds overweight regardless of injury is inexcusable. Funny how Smith criticized Eubank for using the same excuse in the first fight.
Id say myself is a good boxing pundit with quite a bit of knowledge I've been following boxing for 40 years and im 50 years old the great tommy hearns is my favourite fighter of all time respect to the hitmam 👌
Froch should have known better than to not think Chris would win this ,, I reckon fans see more of the reality of boxing than Actual boxers. Pundits making excuses for there wrong predictions , Your future predictions and opinion is non relevant. True boxing fans knew Chris would win this.
The way Smith milked the applause on his ring-walk you'd never have thought there'd be any problems. I think he underestimated Eubank and thought he'd roll him over again.
Why would he underestimate though eubank eas clearly winning first fight and Liam was struggling. But yeah everyone's always seems to be against thr Eubanks. Probably cos there not with Eddie or Frank amd the whole boxing industry works for one or the other so everyone just plays him down. Big respect to the Eubanks.
I actually thought Chris absorbed the Win, very Humble & respectful in the Post Press conference. The first Uppercut knockdown ruined Smith. Known this Man since he was a Kid, he is a Proper Person 🥊🏴🇬🇧
Always knew Eubank had levels when he put it all together and listened to his trainer. He looked incredibly composed, especially with the amount of pressure on him. Smith showing his dirty tactics again, rabbit punches, elbows and spitting his gumshield out. His excuses were just embarrassing, especially after ripping Eubank 🙄
First of all Carl love your work.. I can't understand why everyone ignored the elbow eubank took in the first fight. NO ELBOW NO LOSS. Why is every one suprised Chris is clearly the superior fighter.
I think Jr was winning the 1st fight comfortably but got careless and got caught with the elbow/forearm. We never seen beefy hurt anyone like that before let alone swell up a face like that. Good to see Jr finally stick with the jab
Junior won all the rounds from the first fight to the second fight. That includes the round he stopped jr. I seem to be the only person that thought he was going to win the second one. He roasted Liam in both fights
@@sulaimanhassan6491 I was responding to his comment that 'we never seen beefy hurt anyone'. Don't know what you're on about. Who cares who wins rounds we knew it wouldn't go to points. It's 1-1 with beefy ahead because he got rid of him in 4 rounds, jnr needed 10 👍
@@marseilleicon Well they all quit so you're calling their professionalism into question there. No domination just a 4th round knockout cleaned out, chicken dance style. 1-1 liams in front for despatching him earlier.
Froch is a gobshite and a wank stain that still wants to be in the public eye attention seeking all the time and he knows fuck all. All he knows is when he is hungry and when he needs a shit.
Why does somebody of Carl's experience automatically believe Smith put 3 stone on? That sounds very dubious to me. But if he did, he's only himself to blame. I find the excuses disgusting.
Sorry Carl but you jumped on the bandwagon saying Eubank Jr was going to get smashed and now you're saying Liam Smith should retire? Love the channel btw and nothing but respect for your career and all you achieved but I think in terms of punditry, we've got enough kneejerkers on youtube as it is
Agree with this 100%. You can’t say Smith should retire off the back of one bad performance where he said he was struggling and he clearly was. If he performs shit again and loses then yeah, but he had loads of momentum in terms of victories going in to this fight.
I thought that. I’m a smith fan but injured or not, if you allow yourself to put on 3 stone that’s so unprofessional and you’re asking for it at the stage.
No wonder he had back if he put 3 stone on, his back had to carry it. If you have bad back you dont put 3 stone on, you can still step on scales with bad back.
Carl, Eubanks was winning the first fight and just got caught. I don’t know where all the mindset of smith ever being great was from. Eubanks wasn’t right last time either but was winning. It was just a miracle shot and elbow. That’s all.
Smith was fine, giving it the billy big balls before he got in the ring and got humbled. Smith couldn’t get going because he got outboxed in every round! Before the elbow in the first fight Eubank was doing well. Trilogy is pointless
I had Eubank to win and I said so on this channel, Roy Jones, and others. Not interested in sore ankles or dodgy backs. If you decide you are fit enough to step in that ring I don't want to hear excuses afterwards. Well done Eubank.
It feels bad to take away anything from Chris but Liam did look quite bad. Would be interesting to see how much Eubank can improve with Bomac and maybe go for a world title shot.
Jeez, i,m sorry to burst your bubble, but Eubank will NOT be going for a World title shot, he is to busy calling out a retired Brook, a Welterweight Connor Benn, he also called out triple G, but even at 41, a semi - retired tripple G would batter Eubank, also, he said a few years ago, that he has no interest in fighting Eubank, did you notice that he did,nt call out Charlo, the Champion, but fighting Brook or Benn, is financially very lucrative for him, but he wont be a Champion, because he is just not good enough, & at 34, he,s only got about 3/4 fights in him, at the most
Under all the pressure and even his own father against him. CEJ has turned the tables around and did it in a spectacular fashion. I'd say that's his best performance to date. I'd like to see him and Conor fight next. I'd also want Kell Brook to stay retired and not to be tempted to come back out of retirement!
I personally think he looked a completely different fighter. The fundamentals were drilled into him. There was times he went back to being more ragged and you heard bomac shouting back to the jab. Head a brilliant performance of what Eubank should have been his full career. He was borderline an world level gimmick for a while and he finally proved he is a boxer. The camp change for this one was everything. Big respect to him. Iv backed Eubank for years and I’m so pleased to see him back on top. GGG will be a good fight if he can withstand the power shots. Excited!
@@rorys3890 I don’t understand why you have said what you have said , he weighed in at 11.6 and his natural body weight from looking at him is around 12 stone , so if he was 14/15 stone like he said that’s grossly unhealthy and basically a total lie he would of had to be eating everything in site and over indulging to get that size so his excuse is he got fat knowing he had a fight come up ,
Carl Froch is my go-to pundit now. He tells it like it is, and isn't too proud to admit he got the prediction wrong. That's all you want in pundits, a fair review of a fight.
Props for recognising Adam Azim’s performance. Was put in front of a really useful fighter and was able to adjust very quickly to being clipped with the hooks. Really mature performance that won’t get enough recognition because its not another quick KO.
I feel robbed for having paid for that. All the fights were shite, and fighters should be criticised for not declaring injuries given that it leads to flat performances like that.
Eubank has all the tools. I think his dad,and everyone around him always telling Jr what's best or Jr put in needed pressure on him. Look out now that he's on his own. No matter who is in his corner. He got hit with an elbow the first fight then it was over. Real champs avenge a loss, or at least try to. Respect on Chris eubank jrs' name
I like listening to Carl , he knows his stuff and he articulates well, when you consider the hellacious shots he’s taking during his great career he’s obviously come out of the game unscathed and in great health
42lbs weight loss and blames an injury, what was he eating while injured? That's shocking, be a professional and keep yourself in reasonable shape, injured or not
I'd like to see some pics of Smith weighing 14 stone. Thats a massive amount to put on in a few months! Very hard to believe. Well done CEJr. Real self belief. Just like his dad used to have. 👏👏👏
Smith was super ready for the fight. He came super prepared and better than his last fight. The punches from Jr. was too much for Smith. Smith couldn’t answer. No excuses.
i personally 'Do Not' want to see a rematch it serves no purpose....because of Eubanks performance with his new traineer i'm looking forward to seeing him in a more challenging fight next.
@@cosmicembersmusic very true, I was only joshing tbf. I don’t think anyone could predict the amazing difference in performance from both boxers. Last week nearly every pundit said smith should challenge for a world title next and the “shot” Eubanks should retire! Within 45mins there was a complete turnaround 😂
Everyone assumes this was a bad Liam Smith, but was he so different in those first few rounds to last time, when Chris was on top? Maybe Chris made him look bad and last time, Liam didn't let if get to that stage, which didn't happen this time as Chris didn't let it? True that Smith seemed to have stiff mobility, but he came into this fight mega-confident in every interview, his body language at all times including backstage and ring-walk.
This was no different Smith. Eubank clearly had the better jab in the first fight. Smith doesn't move very well and isn't the quickest of punchers. Just a very decent European level fighter really
@@peternagy-im4be that’s a bit naive, he’s a classy fighter and if Liam smith can win a world title then why can’t Eubank ????? Are you a boxing expert???? 🥊🥊🥊
That was the first time I saw Eubank jr follow a clear plan in the ring, He was disciplined and strong and that was the best I've ever seen him box, I always thought he had that in him. Like his dad he's never listened, I loved senior but he was the sloppiest most disjointed fighter I ever saw, what won him most of his fights was his bravery, strength and durability coupled a hail Mary right hand. Ronnie Davies used to be a mute presence in his dads corner, a comfort blanket with the occasional slap for the showmen. Junior also has seniors attributes and stubbornness but also more natural ability, He hasn't had a bad career and has made good money, imagine if he had a proper trainer and team in his corner from the off he could have been one of the great ones. Unfortunately his dad was a malign influence on any trainer that tried. Eubank need's to stay with Bomack and keep the structure of a proper team, he may yet do something of real note.
Froch speaking facts as normal. No wonder channels blowing up :) 2024 froch on fighting #1 boxing channel. I don't always agree but I respect he is never scared to speak his truth
Thought this was a mismatch the first time and Smith got lucky catching Eubank at the right time after the weight cut and camp for Benn then straight into a camp for Smith. Khan had the same issue years ago before losing to Danny Garcia. Eubank is just far better and proved it now.
I got it right. I hardly ever bet (last bet was Lopez to beat Taylor inside 12 rounds) but I phoned my brother at 9.30pm and had him to put a £10 on Eubank to stop him in round 10. Came in at 40/1... I honestly could only see one winner.
As a Eubank fan I predicted another Smith win also. But I wasn't aware of all this back injury n losing 3 fkn stone business. Feels like an unsatisfying victory for our Chris. Let's hope for his next bout both fighters are fit and ready to go!
Thank you very much for giving the credit what Chris Eubank deserves and I like the way you spoke about him as well…u no what Carl I’ve got much more respect for you now
Feel like eubank didn’t turn up for the first fight and smith didn’t turn up for the second , it’s a shame when everyone is paying to see them fight both at 100 %
You called in wrong Carl. Like all the other 'experts'. Not this call sign. Early in Jnr's career you raved about him from your spars...was surprised you had doubts.
I couldn't watch the entire Carl froch pre match assessment because it seemed so harsh on Chris. He gave too much to credit to Smith and hyped his ability. The guy isn't as good not saying Chris is world class.
Why has he had to take 3 Stone off ? Surely if you’re in the Fight game you would NEVER put that 3 Stone on, & remember we ain’t talking Heavyweights. All you so called Experts called it wrong, it really is about time you Doffed your Cap to him. Just one more Fact, a Person who pretends to have skills or knowledge that they do not have, especially in Medicine. Smith went to a more than Qualified Professional, was properly Diagnosed & then had to take his Medicine from a True NON CHARLATAN. Well done Christopher, that one’s for Seb 🙏
Something was wrong with Smith. Unfit and that was clear from the start. I don't accept the excuses of weight gain or bad back. He got in the ring and he should have been 100%. He's a professional. Eubank was the best I've ever seen him. He deserves the credit for such a good performance. It took me by surprise. However, Eubank has never been world class because he doesn't have the power that champions possess. That said, I've been to his fights and I enjoy watching him. He has made millions without ever having a world title fight. That's great work. I don't see the point to a trilogy here. It wasn't even close. I'd much rather see Eubank/Benn. Let's hope.
Eubank Jr was really good. I’d like to see them both fight again for a decider. I thought the stoppage was premature, not many shots seemed to connect at that time.
Premature ? Really .. i agree that many shots missed..but Smith was not coming back with anything!!! He had taken loads of punches and there was zero chance of him Turning things around ..I know we all have a sick part of us thay wants to see people properly knocked out ...( maimed and possibly damaged for life.. but personally I am ok with decisions like this from refs )

I like listening to Carl , he knows his stuff and he articulates well, when you consider the hellacious shots he’s taking during his great career he’s obviously come out of the game unscathed and in great health
Well he didn't get the prediction right!
Yip 👍
He does know his stuff, although he was one of many who backed Liam to do a job on Eubank... I guess it's nice to be surprised!
42lbs weight loss and blames an injury, what was he eating while injured? That's shocking, be a professional and keep yourself in reasonable shape, injured or not
That’s what I thought
Especially with a big rematch already signed and waiting with just the date to be confirmed
Scouse pie’s apparently mate, was consuming 12 a day when his back was at it’s worst.
Isn't it possible he's making it up? Seems a bit over the top. 3 stone is ridiculous amount of weight
It was so obvious Eubank was the betting choice for a easy dollar. I was shocked that so many "professionals" wrote Eubank off.
Josh Kelly would of beaten that version of Liam smith last night. shocking.
Let’s not get too carried away
What happened to that fella??
@@noelsplectrum9he was overhyped
I'd like to see some pics of Smith weighing 14 stone. Thats a massive amount to put on in a few months!
Very hard to believe.
Well done CEJr.
Real self belief.
Just like his dad used to have. 👏👏👏
Smith was super ready for the fight. He came super prepared and better than his last fight. The punches from Jr. was too much for Smith. Smith couldn’t answer. No excuses.
Agreed, people are colouring in the story retrospectively.
😂
Yep agree. Smith is just too slow on his feet and hands. Just not on prime Eubank levels
i personally 'Do Not' want to see a rematch it serves no purpose....because of Eubanks performance with his new traineer i'm looking forward to seeing him in a more challenging fight next.
First thing Lliqm said was 'no excuses' next sentence and all the rest were what? Excuses 😂😂😂
Ricky Hatton used to regularly lose 3 to 4 stone between fights
I thought he was getting flattened? Froch turning into Haye for predictions!
To be fair to him every single one of the so called experts picked Liam Smith bar mallinagi
@@cosmicembersmusic very true, I was only joshing tbf. I don’t think anyone could predict the amazing difference in performance from both boxers. Last week nearly every pundit said smith should challenge for a world title next and the “shot” Eubanks should retire! Within 45mins there was a complete turnaround 😂
I never saw it coming but Carl Froch has made me a fan. Always a fan of his fighting but hems proper funny. Doesnt pull the punches. Great channel
Chris was superb amd I dont buy Liams excuses. Chris has changed trainers, knuckled down, done the sparring and was superb.
U can see he was injured though how can you not buy it. Just like saying you don’t believe the elbow last time when it was on video.
Everyone assumes this was a bad Liam Smith, but was he so different in those first few rounds to last time, when Chris was on top? Maybe Chris made him look bad and last time, Liam didn't let if get to that stage, which didn't happen this time as Chris didn't let it? True that Smith seemed to have stiff mobility, but he came into this fight mega-confident in every interview, his body language at all times including backstage and ring-walk.
This was no different Smith. Eubank clearly had the better jab in the first fight. Smith doesn't move very well and isn't the quickest of punchers. Just a very decent European level fighter really
Thanks for bringing the sunshine home, Los Frochos. Another insightful episode from the pair.
Took me half of this video to realise the person in the background is Frochs reflection 😂🤦🏻♂️
Hope there is no rematch. eubank battered him
Eubank is a different animal when he fights aggressive
Quality analysis from Froch, massive respect to Eubank Jr. Absolute demolition Job, his Jab was sensational. Title shot next surely!?
He’s good enough and needs to before he’s to old , if Liam can be a world champion then surely Eubank can 🥊🥊🥊👍👍
He's not elite level will never win a world title.
Don’t forget he won the IBO 😂
Glad Jr shut them all up.. but how does this in anyway catapult him to a world title shot?
@@peternagy-im4be that’s a bit naive, he’s a classy fighter and if Liam smith can win a world title then why can’t Eubank ????? Are you a boxing expert???? 🥊🥊🥊
Do not make excuses for smith. He was just outclassed.
There was no way he was over 200lbs that was another excuse
I love to hear what Carl Froch has to say after a big fight, I could listen to him all night, the man talks perfect boxing sense 🥊🥊
Eubank was made to look a world beater due to Smith being absolutely shocking!!!
Smith was never gonna have any chance against a focused Eubank when you take in to account how badly Mayorga wannabe Jamie Mungia whupped him.
What amazed me was Eubanks jab. He fought Groves and didn’t throw a single jab. Just goes to show how important a ramrod jab can be.
That was partially because Groves jab was so good.
@@empathic_mimicryyep Groves super world class jab and all those feints. Fantastic boxing skills if only he had a better chin he'd have been the best
What happened to Eubank being "flattened" mate? 😂😂😂😂
Of course mr perfect has never been wrong before
very unprofessional to walk around at 14 stone plus when you are fighting at middle weight.
That was the first time I saw Eubank jr follow a clear plan in the ring, He was disciplined and strong and that was the best I've ever seen him box, I always thought he had that in him. Like his dad he's never listened, I loved senior but he was the sloppiest most disjointed fighter I ever saw, what won him most of his fights was his bravery, strength and durability coupled a hail Mary right hand. Ronnie Davies used to be a mute presence in his dads corner, a comfort blanket with the occasional slap for the showmen.
Junior also has seniors attributes and stubbornness but also more natural ability, He hasn't had a bad career and has made good money, imagine if he had a proper trainer and team in his corner from the off he could have been one of the great ones. Unfortunately his dad was a malign influence on any trainer that tried. Eubank need's to stay with Bomack and keep the structure of a proper team, he may yet do something of real note.
Eubank is a class act. Carries himself well, a professional in every sense of the word
Froch speaking facts as normal. No wonder channels blowing up :) 2024 froch on fighting #1 boxing channel. I don't always agree but I respect he is never scared to speak his truth
Rachel chipping in with a few comments, keeping you on your toes! Really enjoying the content.
Respect Carl, I like your analysis. You know your boxing!
Thought this was a mismatch the first time and Smith got lucky catching Eubank at the right time after the weight cut and camp for Benn then straight into a camp for Smith. Khan had the same issue years ago before losing to Danny Garcia. Eubank is just far better and proved it now.
Eubank (no s), was hit by an elbow in the first fight after dominating nearly ever second of it.
I got it right. I hardly ever bet (last bet was Lopez to beat Taylor inside 12 rounds) but I phoned my brother at 9.30pm and had him to put a £10 on Eubank to stop him in round 10. Came in at 40/1...
I honestly could only see one winner.
Well done mate👍🏼 I doubled my money 😁
As a Eubank fan I predicted another Smith win also. But I wasn't aware of all this back injury n losing 3 fkn stone business. Feels like an unsatisfying victory for our Chris. Let's hope for his next bout both fighters are fit and ready to go!
We don't want to see another fight liam smith lost end of
Thank you very much for giving the credit what Chris Eubank deserves and I like the way you spoke about him as well…u no what Carl I’ve got much more respect for you now
Eubank was on fire 🥊
Feel like eubank didn’t turn up for the first fight and smith didn’t turn up for the second , it’s a shame when everyone is paying to see them fight both at 100 %
I went for Eubank jr to win 😊and he did very well🎉🎉🎉❤
Great vid😂always give me a little chuckle and good chat.👍
Make a come back carl lad be great to see you back in there again mate👍 👏
Spot on. I don't think Eubank was amazing, he was good, but Smith was so bad it made him look great.
Excuses
@@femola65 eh? What am I making excuses for?
Thanks for the video, Carl, I'm sure, like me, you were pleased to get this prediction wrong.
Smith will never be the same after that beating.
You called in wrong Carl. Like all the other 'experts'. Not this call sign. Early in Jnr's career you raved about him from your spars...was surprised you had doubts.
Chris please stay with bomac.never seen you so sharp punch perfect performance.
What about florian marku? He put away that mouthy paddy dylan moran, ended his career as well.
I couldn't watch the entire Carl froch pre match assessment because it seemed so harsh on Chris.
He gave too much to credit to Smith and hyped his ability. The guy isn't as good not saying Chris is world class.
These videos are brilliant. Love this channel. Keep them coming Carl ...and Rach of course)
You said Mr FROACH, that Eubank Jr was going get a beating. Your predictions was wrong! Eubank Jr performed brilliantly 👏 give him his props
Good summary of last night events, but you could've mentioned Marku's performance as well
Why has he had to take 3 Stone off ?
Surely if you’re in the Fight game you would NEVER put that 3 Stone on, & remember we ain’t talking Heavyweights.
All you so called Experts called it wrong, it really is about time you Doffed your Cap to him.
Just one more Fact,
a Person who pretends to have skills or knowledge that they do not have, especially in Medicine.
Smith went to a more than Qualified Professional, was properly Diagnosed & then had to take his Medicine from a True NON CHARLATAN.
Well done Christopher, that one’s for Seb 🙏
Something was wrong with Smith. Unfit and that was clear from the start. I don't accept the excuses of weight gain or bad back. He got in the ring and he should have been 100%. He's a professional. Eubank was the best I've ever seen him. He deserves the credit for such a good performance. It took me by surprise. However, Eubank has never been world class because he doesn't have the power that champions possess. That said, I've been to his fights and I enjoy watching him. He has made millions without ever having a world title fight. That's great work. I don't see the point to a trilogy here. It wasn't even close. I'd much rather see Eubank/Benn. Let's hope.
Eubank Jr was really good. I’d like to see them both fight again for a decider. I thought the stoppage was premature, not many shots seemed to connect at that time.
Premature ? Really .. i agree that many shots missed..but Smith was not coming back with anything!!! He had taken loads of punches and there was zero chance of him Turning things around ..I know we all have a sick part of us thay wants to see people properly knocked out ...( maimed and possibly damaged for life.. but personally I am ok with decisions like this from refs )
@@GST51 You are right I agree
Man froch has some great perspectives on fights and match ups
Rachel is a great addition 👍
It's just a blessing that Eubank never fought Benn at catcher weight or he may never been the same again.
Appreciate the honest and insightful content! Subscribed.
Fair play Carl. Thought Liam should have just given credit to Chris without hinting at excuses. Two warriors for sure.
"Eubank is getting flattened" lol this is why froch was one of few saying "low blow"
Cheers Carl. Really enjoying this channel.
I never like when people say 'not taking anything away from him' and then proceed to do just that.
The only opinion you need in boxing! Really enjoying this channel!
