    Just a reminder: we watched two semi retired fighters on saturday

    Brook beat Porter in 2014.
    Got destroyed by GGG in 2016.
    Lost to Spence in 2017.

    Since than he fought nobodies only once yearly except the cash grab against Crawford, when he drained back to 147 after 3 years.

    Khan was in his prime in 2008 - 2012.
    Fought Collazo and Alexander, two shot fighters in 2014.
    Fought Algieri in 2015.

    After that we only have two cash grabs against Canelo and Crawford and 3 fights against nobodies.

    Lol, these 2 are way way past their true careers. I must congratulate them for making such a big even from their "grunge fight"..

    It was still a more interesting fight than say, Thurman vs Barrios or Ortiz vs McKinson

      The fight was alright while it lasted, although the way people reacted after the fight was as if we had just witnessed Thriller in Manilla part 2.

        Get over it.

        Khan & Brook settled their differences.

        The fight is better off having taken place, than not have being made at all.

          And it was at a CW. Brook can't make 147. And some people talk as if he can be a top dog at 147 or something.

            Indeed, but no need to be too serious about it either

            it was a bit of entertainment watching two faded fighters that should have fought years ago and seeing the one that avoided it get the inevitable beating he was always going to get

            take it for what it is, a bit of entertainment and grudge match

            theres still plenty of relevant boxers and fights coming up
