“He’s well-schooled, he’s got good defence, good head movement, footwork. He’s just got all the basics down.

“You don’t always need to be fancy and do anything dazzling to be an effective fighter.”

Williams said Eubank is the more confident when facing off, but reckons Smith has better defence.

He revealed: “Smith. Liam Smith is probably the easier to hit but you’d never catch him clean, it would always be gloves and arms, shoulders.

“I think Eubank had a better defence in a different way, it was because of his feet, he was moving in and out of range and that’s obviously why I couldn’t pin him down.

“But Smith purely defensively as you would know it, arm up, tight guard, he’s better in that sense.”
