Brook's jab will be the dominant punch of this fight. His timing and will be the dominant factor.

So you assume Brook can outbox Khan? I think Khans got a better jab. If Brook lands the power shots then I'm sure he could trouble Khan.

I'd take Khan in a UD. Wouldn't be surprised if its 116-112 or 117-111 tbh.

Usually i **** all over for Khan for his Briggs-esque behavior, to be fair i do see alot of potential in Khan especially with his training background, roachs offense mixed with hunters technique could be recipe for a great fighter and hes evolving as a fighter. I like how khan works from range, his balance looks good and is always in position to throw or move, however i do see slip ups in his game which is why i believe he has yet to get back into to title picture again. The big mistake i see with khan is his over-committment when he throws a combination or flurries, hes a half-step too far for my liking..as paulie said, that check hook can be khans ******nite if its not corrected.

Khan is faster than Brook 3 inch reach advantage I think Khan would out jab out point Brook

Khan will turn the back of Brooke's groin protector and trunks into a used coffee filter.

Brook is very very schooled, he does NOT panick and I have alway favoured him against a dumber Khan but if the Khan that turned up against Collazo and Devon turns up then I would favour Khan.

Yeah, pretty sound analysis.

Paulie has a tendency to talk up the fighters that beat him, so I expected him to be biased towards Khan, but this was perfectly objective.

Took the words out my mouth. I personally see this fight being a hug match. No fireworks here.

Khan might be too much for Brook

but we will hopefully find out soon

The part Paulie said about Khan being vunerable to looping shots as opposed to straight shots is exactly why i don't see Brook putting Khan in serious trouble since he mainly throws straight shots. Sure he will land some good shots during the fight but i think his power vs Khan is overrated based on the reputation of Khan.

Brook is a very economical fighter as it is but he also doesn't throw power shots until he feels comfortable and has established his jab. Problem is he will constantly get beaten to the punch against Khan and may never get comfortable so for Kell to win i think he would have to go out of his comfort zone and swing for the fences like Garcia.

I got Khan winning 8-4/9-3.

I can't see it. Khan has the longer reach by several inches and obviously has the faster hands and feet. Khan easily out-jabbed the likes of Paulie, Judah, Alexander, Kotelnik etc. Kell has a hard stiff jab but he hasn't really faced anyone with a jab that could challenge his.

[NapalmKnuckles]

The style match up favors Khan given he doesn't fold like origami after he gets hit with something harder than a jab. Brook is no Thurman but he does have enough pop to wobble Khan imo. I'll take the Dwyer route and go with Khan by UD hedged with Brook via KO
