Brook's trainer is freaking smart as hell for throwing in the towel right there. What do you want him to keep taking punishing shots from GGG, and taking years off the prim of his career, thus losing money for him and his trainer in the long run, or live to fight another day, and keep Brook's physical condition intact for the prime of his career where he can continue to make good money for 6-7 more fights, instead of being shot, and losing a bunch of his next fights, because of the war he potentially could've gone through with GGG.
This is real life, this ain't a video game. The condition of these athletes are the #1 thing, and with a ruined athlete, you miss out on a **** ton of money. It's like a race car. You don't red line the thing for an entire race, instead, you concede defeat in order to maintain the car, and be able to use it for future races.
If Brook would've continued, fight fans would've said, "wow, fight of the year, Brook is a warrior!", meanwhile he's sitting in a hospital bed, and the prime of his career is cut short, because he went those extra rounds with GGG. His trainer is a damn smart man, and looked out for the big picture for the both of them. He knows Brook is gonna be his only big name fighter he might ever train for the rest of his career, so why the hell would you ruin him?
Bravo to the trainer.
Also, not to mention Brook's right eye was almost closed shut. You'd have to be insane to let your fighter continue fighting GGG with one eye.
the worst kind of KO comes to those fighter which get Ko standing on their feet.
I think it was a great stoppage and i said it right there when it happened.
Golovkin dismantled my fighter.
A doctor from Harvard, forgot his name, said that had the fight been allowed to continue, Brook could have died that night. Great decision by the corner, it was just a savage beating.
Yeap but ******* Kev here on the forum told me i was stupid when i tried to explain to him what could have happened to Brook because of the the fracture.
Why you think the dude did anything though lol...
He literally stood right in-front of him and moved at no point after the first round he knew what Brook had to offer and he wasn't in the slightest bit worried lol.
If Brook could properly hurt him you'd have seen a more methodical version of Golovkin that Lemieux had to deal with.
I'd say Ouma done much better than Brook.
Right. So in the second round I must have missed him getting hit with combo after combo.
Ouma didn't have the same success as Brook, though he did cause GGG problems too.
Delusional what? Did GGG not hit him with the kitchen sink throughout the 5 rounds? Brook was done towards the very end, but GGG was so tense he loaded up way too much and threw too many arm punches.
Brook would have gone down, but GGG wasn't landing that shot that would Khan him.
"if Brook was a proper talent.." :lol1: Right. He did better against GGG than any previous MIDDLEWEIGHT did. No talent though.

Brook lucky that doctor didn't have the final say GGG was out to kill.
Lmao, delusional...
You seen how Kell Brook was like in the 5th round he was getting toyed about with why else do you think Kell was holding as much and moving away at every given chance?
He was ripe for the taken minus the orbital bone being smashed he'd gave still quit, Golovkin was just too good If Brook was a proper talent 3G's would have took him more seriously but he never once did he just winged out with shots showing absolutely no respect to him.

It was clear a stone cold KO wasn't coming. Even against a welterweight with one eye.

I could create a separate thread for this comment but I won't I just hope the same people applauding Kell Brook and acknowledging the stoppage as being correct are as accepting for Victor Ortiz quitting when he had his jaw broken against Josesito López.
I stood up for Victor quitting when he had that broken jaw can't fault him for it but don't get me wrong I can see where the blood hungry crowd are coming from you pay money to see a fight you want to see a definitive ending to it.
He told his corner that he couldn't see in rd 2. Had he continued with that broken eye socket, I have little doubts that his career could have been ended right there in the ring. I'd have loved to see a stone cold KO, don't get me wrong, but his corner saved him from permanent damage.

I think it was the same doctor who fixed pacs rotator cuff
Oh him, the same guy who delivers Christmas gifts to all the good boys and girls from the rooftops.
Everyone I watched it with agreed with the stoppage as well. Brook took too much damage at that point to come back. From the get go you could tell Brook was severely outgunned even though he was landing here and there. Kell is going above and beyond to avoid shots and Golovkin is literally just walking straight towards him with what looks like no real concern for defense. At the beginning of round 5 the pressure got to Brook and when Golovkin had him against the ropes in the beginning of that round it was downhill from there. Kell was getting put against the ropes a lot more and was getting hit hard and even though they weren't flush one of them was bound to land eventually over the course of the next 7 rounds probably even that round. Plus if you take a look at the final couple of seconds before it is officially stopped, Golovkin is swinging for the fences putting practically everything into his shots it looks like. It's a really good thing one of those didn't land before the ref saw the towel.
I couldn't have agreed more with the TS. Brook as game as he was, reached his limit by round five and had gone into survival mode. So his trainer made the right decision.
By the time of the stoppage he was no longer being competitive but brave. He could no longer protect himself and that's very dangerous against a hard puncher like Golovkin. He was physically spent and could have been seriously hurt.
Brook was merely surviving on just his championship heart, guts, will and instincts.
When you find it, please post the name of that doctor. My hunch is your just posting ignorant bullshyte as usual

Why would I want to see that? I m a GGG fan, and I don't want see fighters getting bludgeoned half to death.
I don't either but the poster said if the fight continued kell crook would be in the hospital and I said he is anyway
kell crook is sitting in a hospital bed anyway. I bet if GGG eye was the same you would have wanted to see him beaten until a KO

I didn't watch the fight completely. Just watched the rounds, and fast forwarded all the round breaks.
those blood thirsty fans who booed, bet they changed their opinions once they found out Brook has a broken orbital socket.
First job of a trainer is to look after their boxers health and wellbeing so congrates to Dominic Ingle for his timely interception which stopped the injury been catastrophic, possibly allowing Brook to continue his career.(We have to wait on that one).
Boxers tend to be too brave for their own good so it takes courage to for a trainer especially in a high profile fight with 20,000 people screaming, to stop a fight.
great stoppage
kell brook is a heck of a fighter, and he was murdering himself to make 147. he can still be a very viable 154 lber, and maybe even try at middleweight in the coming years. that fight had gotten out of hand, and the corner was clearly planning to stop the fight the second they saw that it wasn't going brook's way.
you guys have to undrestand that continuous head trauma can kill a fighter. really. they can f#cking die in there. they can lose their eyesight, too, with an injury to the orbital bone.
according to brook he was seeing triple. you don't just aim for the guy in the middle, like you do in the movies. great stoppage. brook should be thankful that he had a team that cared about him. robert garcia sent margarito out there until he was almost blind, and it nearly cost him his career and was without a doubt the end of his run as a contender.
