    You think Smith-Eubank 2 will be any different? I think Smith probably wins by UD this time but wouldn't be surprised if he stops him again.
    I fancy Smith by stoppage again, late stoppage though, I think Eubank will try to box cautiously but ultimately I think he’s dead at the weight and the punch resistance just isn’t there.

    I did pick Liam on points first time round but I didn’t expect him to just blitz him inside 4.

      Okolie has activated his rematch clause. Didn’t see that coming…

        I was leaning towards Smith on points the first time, I'm going with that this time but if Eubank's punch resistance is really gone like that then it's probably another stoppage. That drastic weight loss has probably ruined him (even though I doubt he was going to achieve much more in the sport regardless).

        As for Okolie, that was a weird fight, oddly entertaining. I didn't think i'd enjoy it more than Lara-Wood 2 that night but that's how it goes. Thing is, I don't really want to see it again but it'll be interesting to see if Okolie can make the necessary adjustments like he's been claiming. Do you think that fight will be any different?

            I recon okolie may get revenge. Both gightsers were terrible that night. I recon if okolie cuts out the hugs abit he takes a points win

              Eubank has always just chased paydays rather than accomplishments, he’ll probably wind up cashing in against Benn win or lose I reckon.

              I fancied Okolie on points for the first fight, actually let me down for a big acca, he looked awful though, the Sugar Hill move hasn’t worked out for him whatsoever, he looked a lot better under Shane who ironically devised the game plan that beat him.

              If Okolie can establish his jab and control the range, he’s tough to beat, the referee will be important too, if he’s allowed to hold without points being deducted it gives him a big advantage.

                Pretty much what I said in the post above mate. Okolie needs to try and establish the jab and keep the fight at mid-to-long range.

                  Ohara Davies could reportedly be linking up with Golden Boy Promotions. If he beats Romero, could they be lining him up to fight Ryan Garcia?

                    That's a random one, but makes complete sense. I think OD beats Rolly handily. Him v Garcia would be a very good matchup.

                      I fancy him to knock Rolly out too.
