Chris Eubank Jr Reaction

Boxing World Reacts To Chris Eubank’s Knockout Loss To Liam Smith

Written by Kerr Ferguson on 22nd January 2023.

Liverpool’s Liam Smith dropped Chris Eubank Jr twice in Manchester leaving him totally dazed and with a third loss of his career.

Whilst many in the industry had picked Smith to win, few reckoned it would be such a quick night’s work given that Eubank is known for his punch resistance and good chin.

The brutal stoppage was watched worldwide, and some of the biggest names in the sport had plenty to say.

Chris Eubank Sr

Congratulations @liambeefysmith.
I’ve never once seen Chris Jr even buckle in a fight, so big relspect to you, your team and your future.🏆🏆 pic.twitter.com/0onxaEFbE6

Oh man, @chriseubankjr it’s a good job you didn’t fight me. You’d last two rounds at 160. 🥱 😴 pic.twitter.com/5wtdE0HHGn
