Conor Benn was unimpressed by Chris Eubank Jr.’s win over Liam Smith.
Smith was the favourite going into the rematch last night, but it was Eubank who impressed as he secured a late knockout victory.
The first fight between Smith and Eubank followed the cancellation of the latter’s proposed fight with Benn last year.
Now the pair of them are clear of obligations, there remains a good chance that they will be able to make the fight in the future.
Smith appeared to be struggling with a leg problem early on in his fight, and Benn suggested that Eubank had underperformed.
He told Fight Hub: “Smith made him look good. What, it takes you ten rounds to dispatch of someone who’s got a broken leg? I’m not really impressed.
“You could definitely see that it was an injury, that’s all that was. 100 per cent, you could tell Smith weren’t himself. His shots weren’t coming off, he weren’t able to get out the way of the shots.
“I didn’t think it was an impressive performance. If you’ve got a wounded man in there, take hold of them, get them out of there. If I’ve got someone injured in front of me who can’t throw back, they ain’t seeing the end of the round. That’s it.
“He looked better than he has done previously, but it wasn’t all that. Smith made him look good tonight.
“I’d get hold of him within four, I’d put it on him straight away.”
