Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Confident: I'm Going To Finish Kell Brook's Career Off!

This fight is happening when it doesn’t matter. They had their shot when it mattered. Now it’s just a cash grab.

It matters to them and that's all that counts. its going to be fun as hell

This is going to be a boring split decision for Khan /Brook

maybe should it go pass 8. the first half of the fight will be a very nice war. these two really hate each other and neither wants to lose

I can see Khan flurrying and getting a stoppage. I think Kell is more shot than Khan.

It definitely can go that way but Kell has some pop and khan has that air chin. a cool breeze can knock his ass out

Kell has poor defence when his offence is not working.

I see Khan targetting his eye sockets immediately and going for a stoppage.

If they exchange though, Brook will tag him and finish him off.

Kell wasted his own career though begging and chasing for this fight while Khan maximised all his paydays.

The reality was that Brook shouldnt have stalled his own career by waiting for a naturally smaller fighter to move up and face him and shouldnt have killed himself to make weight either.

Brook abusing his own body for so long will take its toll.

Good points.

As others have said on the forum, Brooks career has been badly managed.

Brook somehow getting medically cleared if loses by ko to khan anybody other than the uber driving journayman time to hang it up.

Khan hasn’t found in a long time and when he fought Crawford, he looked completely shot, yes big part of that was Crawford but Amir’s ability to measure distance wasn’t there, his balance/footwork was horrendous, he use to glide around the ring despite some obvious flaws (moving his back leg to the left when he moves in that direction) but these were compounded further due to his decline, he notoriously keeps his left very low when he throws the right hand and was over-reaching vs Crawford / lacked the speed he once had.

Kell on the other hand measured distance much better against Crawford and actually managed to establish his Jab early in the fight and was landing it very easily, he was balanced and didn’t over-reach much, his rhythm was disturbed when Crawford turned southpaw, he found it difficult to land the jab and opened up more / was caught square and hurt with the first telling blow of the fight, Kell didn’t have ingle in his corner either.

In their primes I may have looked at it a bit differently but it’s difficult to see Kell not have the edge in this one, his eye sockets will be suspect but I think he will be determined to press on and eventually get the KO due to his better ability to measure distance at this point, he’s the odds on favourite to win and get the KO, even if we’re assuming Khan will have a good game plan etc I think this fight will be too much emotion for him and the moment he gets hurt or finds himself in the storm, as history shows he will square up and look to have a tear up and don’t think that will help him.

I dont quite understand the title. Both guys careers have been over for some time now. Dont get me wrong they still fight occasionally for money but it's more like a hobby that pays you or desperately trying to relive former glory instead of a career

I don’t think they are past that point yet where they are going on way longer then they should be, but this is that one last hurrah type fight, they’ve been good servants for British Boxing and despite their haters, deserve the pay day, maybe it will be a good fight to watch as well
