Kell's gonna ballooooooooooon after this fight - he does it a lot, but beating Khan will make him so happy that this time he'll go full Rid**** Bowe. I'd be really surprised if he didn't, and I just don't see him being up for a Thurman fight without a belt at stake
He might balloon himself into the Canelo sweepstakes.
I'm not sure why people were confidently picking Khan to win. The only x-factor for Brook was his eyes. As long as his eyes held up, he had the stylistic advantage. Power, patience and a good jab are Khan's kryptonite and Brook has all of those.
Khan's inability or lack of care for tucking his chin is just hard to watch for me. He's so focused on speed that he never realized how open he leaves himself
Please don't anyone act like you're surprised by this.
I must admit that i am just a bit surprised by this outcome. We all knew going into this fight that Brook was physically compromised and visually impaired with two metal plates being inserted into both of his eye sockets. I always said that this was Khan's fight to lose but I was wrong. Amir has aged badly. He looked at least ten times more ruined, washed up and shot then kell Brook did. He had no legs. Brook was the much stronger of the two.
The Ingle gym must be one of the best in the world in terms of taking kids from literally being Children, right through the amateurs and then pro’s to world titles
There’s a lot of good trainers in boxing, but not many can say they took multiple kids from one city from being 9 years old right to world titles
I did pick Amir Khan to win, but? I also wanted Kell Brook & Dominic Ingle to win together. So really I should of stayed neutral.
I think this loss would of been too much for Brook to deal with.
The Ingle Gym does seem like the UK's version of Kronk Gym. There are plenty of trainers in the UK, but not gyms that produce results from the amateurs right to the top. Plenty of gyms in the UK with amateur success, but then those fighters usually branch out once in their professional careers.
My favorite Ingle fighter was Prince Naseem Hamed.
That performance tonight was probably one of Brook's best. I want to see him face Conor Benn, maybe at the same weight or 150-152 pounds.
Benn has been talking like he would of ****** both Khan and Brook out 'Lets see if he wants it'. Benn vs Brook for me is a bigger fight than Benn vs Eubank Junior etc
