Conor Benn has mocked bitter rival Chris Eubank Jr for being brutally knocked out by Liam Smith.
In a shocking upset, Eubank Jr suffered the first knockout loss of his career at the hands of Smith in Manchester's AO Arena on Saturday night. The fight was fairly even after the opening three rounds but Smith landed a big flurry in the fourth stanza that backed Eubank Jr into a corner, with an uppercut followed by a left hook sending him down.
Eubank Jr showed great heart to beat the count despite being on wobbly legs, but referee Victor Loughlin gave him every chance to recover and get back into the fight. Smith was relentless in seeking the finish and dropped his rival just moments later, with the fight rightfully being waved off as Eubank Jr didn't know where he was.
