CHRIS EUBANK JR wanted to bravely carry on fighting after being brutally put down twice by Liam Smith.

The fourth-round onslaught continued as Eubank was bundled to the canvas as he struggled to keep his footing.
He once more amazingly made it back to his feet on unsteady legs but the referee had no choice but to wave it off.
Trainer Roy Jones Jr was ready to throw the towel in but Eubank somehow wanted to carry on going.
He even rushed over to Smith, refusing to believe the bout had ended and had to be held back by opposing coach Joe McNally.
When Eubank, 33, cleared his head, he congratulated Smith, 34, but insisted he wanted to fight on.
He said: “Big congratulations to him, I felt like I could have gone on but he caught me with a great shot.”
Eubank followed up the sentiment as he broke his social media silence on Twitter.
He posted: “Congratulations to Liam tonight, nice lil shot you caught me with there my boy.
“Felt like I could of kept going but referee is in charge & I respect his decision. We’ll get it on again soon.”
Smith becomes the third man to beat Eubank, behind Billy Joe Saunders, 33, and George Groves, 34.
And he could get a second shot back at Anfield if a rematch clause is exercised.
Eubank said: “If the fans want to see a rematch then we can get it on at Anfield.”
Smith teased taking the sequel back home to Merseyside having come up in weight to beat Eubank, who was left with a swollen eye.
He said: “If Chris wants the rematch we can do that on my terms.
“I agreed to the rematch clause beforehand so we can see, I can beat all the best fights at 160lbs and 154lbs.”

How To
Here are some basic skills in boxing
How to box effectively
Boxing is one the most well-known sports in the world. It is made up of two competitors who aim to knock the head off each other. There are different rules for boxing, and they vary from one country to the next. There are generally three types of boxing: Amateur, Professional, and Olympic.
Amateur boxing is often practiced at school, college, or university. This type includes sparring sessions using padded gloves, but without protection. Amateur boxing competitions typically last for three rounds, each lasting five minutes. Amateur boxing can be done in many styles, including Kickboxing and Muay Thai, Taekwondo or Karate, Judo, Wrestling, and Muay Thai.
Professional boxing is usually practiced in gyms, clubs or stadiums. They use protective equipment, such as mouthpieces, nose guards, shin protectors, elbow pads knee pads, waist belts and groin protectors. Six rounds of professional boxing last four minutes each. There are many types of professional boxing. These include Boxing (MMA), Kickboxing (Mixed Martial Arts), Muay Thai and Taekwondo.
Olympic boxing takes place at the Olympics. International standards dictate that boxers must wear protective gear. Each round lasts three minutes and is made up of eight rounds. Olympic boxing can be divided into two types: Light Flyweight (Heavyweight) and Heavyweight (Light Flyweight).
The basic skills of boxing are:
- Punching techniques
- Guarding techniques
- Footwork
- Stance
- The body moves
- Defense
- Combination
- Rotation
- Spare parts
Punching Techniques
There are seven types. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches require more strength than others. An uppercut, for instance, requires tremendous strength. On the contrary, a straight punch takes less power but is faster than most punches.
There are also various punching combinations. These are combinations of punches which work together to achieve a goal. One combination can have many parts. A left hook followed with a right-cross will cause injury to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
A boxer protects himself by using his body. He uses his arms, legs, elbows, knees, knees, and feet to do this.
Legs
Boxers should use the legs to protect themselves against kicks. If he gets kicked, he raises one leg and turns away from his attacker. To avoid being kicked on his side, he will bend his knees if the attack is from the front. But if the attack comes in the back, he will stand straight and block the kick using his foot.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very effective because they inflict much pain. You can either deliver an elbow strike directly, or indirectly. Directly, you strike your opponent with your forearm. Indirectly, you hit him with another portion of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use their hands to block incoming blows. To do this, they raise their fists higher than their heads and move their arms in the direction that the attack is coming. Then, they touch the attacker’s hand.
Knees
When receiving a blow to the stomach, abdomen or chest, a boxer should bend his knees to absorb the impact. Knee strikes are often used for defense purposes.
Feet
A boxer should take control of an attack and respond with counter-attacks. This will allow him to gain distance from his opponent. Also, boxers must maintain their balance while delivering counter-attacks.
Stances
Boxing effectively requires a boxer to have a good stance. The way he defends himself will be determined by his stance. It dictates how he places his body and faces his opponent. There are many positions that boxers can adopt. These are some of our most favorite:
- A low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Body Movement
In order to win a fight, a boxer must move around his opponent. This involves changing positions, speed, rhythm and timing.
Rotation
Rotating his arm to increase the puncher’s reach is a key part of boxing. You can rotate at different speeds depending upon the punch.
Combinations
The timing of each punch determines the effectiveness of a combination. A combination that is effective starts with a strong punch, and ends with one that is weak.
Spares
Sparring is a form of boxing that aims to improve your skills. Sparring allows a boxer to improve his mental and physical skills. The goal of sparring is to learn to fight, and not to get hurt.
In conclusion, learning to box requires dedication and patience. To become a better boxer, you must train hard and for a long time.
