The latest episode of Behind The Ropes gives an inside view of both training camps as Liam Smith and Chris Eubank Jr prepare for their richly anticipated rematch; Smith takes on Eubank Jr a second time this Saturday, live on Sky Sports Box Office
While Eubank has based himself in Las Vegas and joined up with new coach Brian McIntyre, Smith continues to train at the Rotunda gym in his Liverpool hometown, with coaches Joe McNally and Declan O'Rourke.
Smith is unphased by the changes Eubank Jr has made to his camp. He doesn't believe a new coach will have much of an impact on his rival."The biggest difference between me and Chris - I feel like what goes in my ear stays. I feel what goes in Chris' goes right out through the other one," Smith said.McIntyre though has not found that to be his experience."He's coachable to me. He trusts in me, he listens to me," he said."Obviously I'm here for a reason.
Eubank's motivation is clear."A lot of fighters after a defeat, they become less of a fighter than what they were before. Sometimes they're never the same. For me I'm not worried about that," he said.Eubank Jr insists he hasn't questioned his punch resistance following the Smith defeat on 'The Gloves Are Off'
