What's been said?

Smith:

"I believe it's the same outcome, I believe it's a Liam Smith win

I know I can hurt him now to both head and body.

I don't need to change nothing, everything I did in the last camp worked.

It's not really me who needs to change this time, my results speak for itself, it's Chris who needs to change. "

Eubank Jr:

"I've never been dropped, I've never been on the canvas, so it was a new experience. I enjoyed it!

I regret not being the chance to get through it, I feel like I was robbed of the challenge.

I will be telling Roy (Jones Jr.),. never to bring a towel to any of my fights ever again.

I still believe I'm the better fighter"
