    Liam Smith earned a majority decision over Liam Williams in a rematch that failed to live up to expectations on Saturday.

    Smith, who lost the WBO world junior middleweight title by ninth-round knockout to Mexico's Canelo Alvarez in September 2016, will now get the chance to win back his old belt in 2018.

    The English boxer beat his Welsh rival by scores of 117-111, 116-112 and 114-114 in an eliminator for the WBO title -- held by Puerto Rico's Miguel Cotto -- at the Metro Arena in Newcastle.
