CALLUM SMITH VS CHRIS EUBANK JNR

-

Who wins this super-middleweig­ht scrap and why?

ARON PADLEY

If it goes the distance then I think Eubank outpoints and outworks him but Smith has unbelievab­le power so could easily stop him. Great match up further down the line.

NIAL O’CONNELL

Very interestin­g one. Smith for me. He could struggle early on with the handspeed and combinatio­ns but when it comes down to it is too big and too strong to be bullied up close, and I couldn’t see Eubank coping very well on the back foot.

RICHARD PEARSHOUSE

Smith. Too big. Too strong. Eubank will try to show boat and bang he’s gone.

ANDY JENNER

Eubank Jnr. Too fast, too many combinatio­ns. Smith won’t be able to get shots off because of Eubank’s constant pressure.

ALAN BRIGHTWELL

Smith all day long. Too clever, too big. He would stop Eubank inside eight rounds.

CRAIG WOLSEY

Would be interestin­g if Eubank could stop himself from getting in a gun fight. I really like him but he lacks power and still seems to want to stand and trade. If he puts his ego aside he is capable of a points win.
