Expert observers break down the mental, physical and tactical aspects of the Liam Smith vs Chris Eubank Jr rematch; Smith takes on Eubank Jr a second time this Saturday at the AO Arena in Manchester, live on Sky Sports Box Office

"It's not about going back and learning the ropes from day one. It's about having that set-up in the camp and in the build-up to the fight."Most crucially, if Eubank Jr is to win, he needs new tactics and for his trainer to equip him with a new game plan that he adheres to, even under the most extreme pressure.:"I think if he tries to outbox Liam from a long-range point of view, like he did the first time a little bit, I think that'd be a mistake.

"He's boxing at range and Liam's got the momentum coming forward, [Eubank] is getting caught at the end of the shots. You're getting hit with a lot of power," Macklin explained. "They [Smith's team] probably think: I'll get to it by walking down, I'll break him down, by round, body shots, conserve energy, make him work.

Joe Gallagher, the Liverpudlian's former trainer, said:"People give a lot of credit to [Vasiliy] Lomachenko for downloading data but all the time Liam Smith's in that ring with you, mentally, psychologically he's downloading data. Watching what you're doing. How you react to stuff."Eubank Jr is the bigger man. Liam Smith was essentially a career super-welter stepping up to 160lbs for their first fight.

"At the top level it's always about mental and physical. Boxing has that emotional element as well because you are combatants punching each other," Groves said. Eubank Jr has lost before, but in his previous defeats, he has been able to harness different elements for psychological comfort. Against Billy Joe Saunders he could look at how he performed in the second half of the bout, against Groves how he finished the fight."Liam Smith who's comfortable, not losing, but being up against it," McGuigan continued.
