Eubank Jr vs. Smith prediction 

Like many fans and experts, predictions for the fight change every hour. 

Both Chris Eubank Jr and Liam Smith have fought over 30 times professionally, and are seasoned professionals in the ring, but whenever Eubank Jr has stepped into the biggest fights of his career, he always comes up short whether it be against Billy Joe Saunders or George Groves. 

Eubank Jr also seems reluctant to go in for the kill whenever he is dominating, his previous outing last year against Liam Williams was a prime example. He knocked the Welshman down four downs, but was unable to produce the fight ending stoppage and instead emerged victorious on points. 

Against Smith, Eubank Jr cannot afford to take his foot off the gas if he finds himself in control. Smith is a fighter which will look to rough his opponent up, and be relentless if he finds the slightest opening, and I think this is what will give 'Beefy' the edge in this domestic showdown. 

Eubank Jr will try to box smartly under the guidance of trainer Roy Jones Jr, but Smith will drag the 33-year-old into a dogfight, an enviroment which the former light middleweight will thrive in.
