CARL FROCH has questioned where Chris Eubank Jr’s career will go now following his brutal defeat to Liam Smith.
Eubank hit the canvas for the first time as a professional in round four of his middleweight clash with Smith.
Liam Smith knocked Chris Eubank Jr down twice
And before long he was bundled to the deck again and despite once more making it to his feet, the fight was waved off.
Froch, a former sparring partner, fears the loss could have massive consequences for Eubank and his career.
He said on Sky Box Office: “Where does he go from here? That could be curtains on his career.
“And I don’t want to say he should retire now but that was a bad defeat. I just think, where does he go now?
“He’s in against a naturally smaller guy and he looked badly hurt.
“I don’t think he’ll retire but where does he go now at middleweight or super-middleweight?”
Eubank’s dream of a middleweight title tilt against Kazakh legend Gennady Golovkin, 40, appear to have been KO’d.
And until any sort of redemption in the ring is gained, a mega-fight with Mexican Canelo Alvarez, 32, has also been knocked back.
Instead, Eubank, 33, could look to go behind enemy lines against Liverpool’s Smith, 34, should he exercise his rematch clause.
He said: “If the fans want to see a rematch, we can get it on at Anfield.”
Smith becomes the third man to beat Eubank, behind Billy Joe Saunders, 33, and George Groves, 34.
And having come up in weight for the pay-per-view bout, he teased taking the potential sequel back to Merseyside.
Smith 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.”

For example, an uppercut requires great force. On the other hand, a straight punch requires less power but it is faster than other punches.
There are also different combinations. These are combinations made up of several punches that can be used together to achieve one goal. A combination may contain several parts. An example of this is a left hook, followed by a right crossing. This will damage the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
A boxer uses his body to protect himself against attacks. He does this using his legs and arms, elbows as well as hands, knees and feet.
Legs
To defend against kicks, a boxer should use his legs. When he’s hit, he raises his right leg and runs away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked on his side, he will bend his knees if the attack is from the front. If the attack is from the side, he will bend his knees to avoid being kicked on the side.
Elbows
Because elbow strikes inflict a lot of pain, they are very effective. You can either deliver an elbow strike directly, or indirectly. Directly means you hit your opponent directly with your forearm. While indirectly, it means you hit him with another section of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use the power of their hands to block any incoming blows. Boxers use their hands to stop incoming punches. They raise their fists up above their heads and move towards the attack. Then, they touch the attacker’s hand.
Knees
A boxer should bend his knees in order to absorb any blows to his stomach, abdomen, chest or stomach. Knee strikes can be used to defend yourself.
Feet
If he is being attacked, a boxer must take a step back and counter-attack. This will allow him to gain distance from his opponent. A boxer must also maintain his balance when responding to an opponent’s counter-attack.
Stances
Boxing effectively requires a boxer to have a good stance. His stance will determine how he defends. It defines where he faces his opponent and how he positions his body. Boxers can take many different stances. Here are some of the more popular ones:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
The Body Movement
A boxer must change his position, speed and rhythm in order to win the fight. This involves changing positions, speed, rhythm and timing.
Rotation
Rotating his arm to increase the puncher’s reach is a key part of boxing. Depending on what punch is being thrown, the speed of rotation varies.
Combinations
The timing of each punch will determine the effectiveness and efficiency of a combination. A combination that works well starts with strong punches and ends with weak ones is a winning combination.
Spare parts
Sparring is a form of boxing that aims to improve your skills. A sparring session is where a boxer trains both his mind and his body. Sparring, in conclusion, is about learning how to fight and not getting hurt.
