Eubank Jr : "In boxing, you never know what's going to happen until it happens. My job now is to learn from those mistakes and to make sure it doesn't happen again. I was dominating our fight and battered him in the third round, but got complacent. I gave him the opening to do what he did, he's not a better fighter than me."

Smith : "I told everyone don't ever think anybody can't be hurt because they've got a good chin, he got hit and was looking at the floor. The same thing to him again, if he makes those mistakes I will punish him. He's gone round the houses blaming everybody apart from himself, he made the mistakes. Just take it on the chin."
