Amir Khan vs Kell Brook - Who takes it?

[sunny31]

I like the contrast in opinions so far, I think that is why it is one of the best fights out there, personally I don't think it is a difficult fight for Khan, it will be another fight where his concentration levels have to be there, he has to be cautious and stick to 1 or 2 punches at a time early, and not go out and try and win rounds by a mile when he doesn't need to, if he does that I think he'll be comfortable. I think there is 2 passages where Kell is dangerous in this fight, the first 3 rounds and the last 3 rounds, I think Kell will fall behind on the scorecards and become dangerous late in the fight when he realises he is down on the cards he will push forward and start to look for bombs and try and push Khan to the ropes, but even then he is not really a pressure fighter, I can see Khan tying him up and nullifying him.

There is always the chance with Khan, and Brook does load up but if you play the percentages you have to favour Khan handily. It won't be one sided, there will be times when Kell counters well, breaks up Khan's rhythm with his jab, but I think they will only be pockets of success.

Simple. If it goes to rounds Khan wins. Brook HAS to stop Khan to win and if he hits Khan flush, it's going to turn in to a "Drama show" as golovkin would say. Overall...khan has too much speed, boxing skill and a far superior coach/trainer in Virgil Hunter. Khan by UD.

My pick changes by the week. I see it a 50-50 fight.

Right now I think Brook handles Khan's speed well and counters with the jab to a UD maybe even hurting him bad in the process.

I can also see it the other way where Khan's speed and footwork keep brook at bay and frustrate him in to making mistakes.

Kell times glassy mid rounds and that's all she wrote.

I think Brook stops him, I think at some point he will start timing Khan and he hits hard enough to put Khan down and hurt him if he lands flush.

I think Khan loses his head too easily (not as much under Hunter, but the opposition hasn't been as good), especially when things aren't going his way, plus when hes hurt he gets too ballsy IMO and tries to mix it up too much.

If it goes the distance I think it favors Khan though because he has the kind of style where he can steal rounds against a guy like Brook.

[John Locke]

Like others have said, if it goes the distance, I think Khan wins, but Kell has a good chance of stopping him. It's a 50-50 fight for me.

Styles make fights.

They both fight from range, and Khan would just outbox him all day long from there. Especially the new Khan.

I could see other Welterweights like Thurman beating Khan, but he might just school the shlt out of Brook.

[Caught Square]

Seeing the reasoning from the people picking Brook makes me more confident that Khan wins. Almost everyone who picks Brook is banking on him KO'ing the so called glass chinned Khan

[JACK1190]

More confident than ever that Kell stops him brutally!

Khan's speed is overrated
His jab is predictable
He canta take a punch
Brook wins by murder
