Comments Thread For: Kell Brook: The Fight With Amir Khan Will Be a War

Not really. As soon as Ezekiel connects with one of those short, crisp counter punches, I expect Khan to fold like a paper napkin.

I think it would be a good fight. Khans chin isn't that ****ty.

Someone with exceptional timing is more dangerous to khan than someone with murderous power. It's always the shots that land while he's attempting to throw punches of his own that really turn his legs to jelly.

He's taken absolute bombs off maidana, Peterson and Garcia while trying to cover up and brace himself for the shots, but the punches he doesn't see coming really scramble his senses.

I know to an extent this applies to all fighters but khan's chin almost seems to have a dual identity of going from solid to glass when hit with a counter.

The gravy train is over for this guy. Now he's a target. He wont last a year before he has to fight Khan or any number of guys from 140-154 that will de-testiculate him.

I know the impression is we like to hype our fighters in the UK, (actually the US is just as bad-case in point- Keith Thurman, Deontay Wilder) but Kell is one where I think most UK fans felt the hype was justified. He is a slick boxer puncher- skillful, has pop, decent defence, strong, looks slick, decent speed. He isn't a David Haye, a one-man hype machine. I think he can mix it at top level, so hopefully the big fights will come. I'm not sure how successful he could be at the top, but he will always give a good fight. Here's hoping he at least achieves what Ricky did, minus the 2nd round KO of course.

No it won't.

I know guys like to sell fights, but this will be all about boxing. Kell will jab a lot, but he will land a big right hand early and close the show soon after.

Khan will never be in a war. Relatively easy UDs for Khan or the canvas are his only options.

Khan is not short like Porter, won't reach in and his new style is definitely going to make it ugly and tricky for Brook.

No he's only been Ko'ed/Counted out once in his career, Garcia one was a stoppage where Khan finished on his feet. I agree with your point, but the thing is will Khan be able to utilize that style in every fight consistently? We all know Khan's habit to get in brawls and throwing the game plans out of window.

Wasnt Kahn stopped on his feet both times,against Prescott he was bobbing around like a pin bowl if I recall correctly,against Garcia he dazed beyond confusion at the stoppage also.

Khan appears to have shifted the traits of bring drawn into a gunsling,obviously he has only showcased this in one fight but he was showing signs of adjustment against Diaz the previous year,the guy needs to take a fight between now and Brook,Alexander would likely be a too dangerous opponent as would Guerruro,not sure who he should face,maybe Soto Karass.

Amir Khan is a bum, I'd rather see Keith Thurman get a shot.

[John Barron]

no it won't. i fully expect both of these clowns to hug it out for 12 rounds.
