A Seasoned Fighter Shares His Opinions

Former super Middleweight champion Carl Froch, a legend in the sport, doesn’t mince words when it comes to his prediction. “I think Liam Smith goes in there and gives him another pace,” says Froch, leaving no room for doubt. 

Froch, having sparred extensively with Eubank Jr, knows the fighter’s fortitude. A man tough as nails, fit, and brimming with the ability to throw punches that pack a wallop.

However, the ‘Next Gen’ that entered the ring against Liam Smith was a different breed. Froch attributes this transformation to the weight cut. Smith’s precise strike visibly affected Eubank Jr., catching him on the chin and causing significant harm. “I don’t think that would have happened to the Eubank Jr I know,” Froch states unequivocally.

Froch masterfully paints a vivid, electrifying picture of the impending rematch:  “When they come together and start exchanging blows, when Smith hits him and hurts him, I think he’ll just get him out of there.” It’s a scenario that Eubank Jr. may find challenging to navigate, as evidenced by his previous encounter where he faltered and failed to capitalize on critical moments.

Yet, in the unpredictable realm of boxing, Froch wisely reminds us, “It’s a two-horse race,  anything can happen.” That’s the allure of the sport, the thrilling unpredictability that keeps us all on the edge of our seats.
