Can Brook pull off the upset against Mayweather?

[daggum]

Oh give it a rest daggum. Move on. 13 clinches in 12 rounds is not a clinch fest. It's just an excuse for crybabies.

actually i counted myself and reached at least 20 before i lost track in the last couple rounds. i also counted 35 times he bent below the waist before losing track in the last couple rounds. so thats at least 55 fouls that he got away with but let me guess they didn't affect the fight in any way right? why did he keep doing them if they didn't give him an advantage? why not just stand there and dodge the punches instead of holding or bending below the waist? probably because its a lot harder to do that but you won't admit that for some strange reason. it also would have made the fight a lot more entertaining but more entertaining=greater chance floyd loses and you wouldn't want that.

20? Please show me 20 clinches. I will wait.

Kell Brook can ****in fight. Floyd will have his hands full

Those are my thoughts. This is not an easy fight at all and yes Brook has a chance.


It's like some people just totally forget that Mayweather is 38.

Who says he is fighting Brook? Khan would be an easier fight and make him more money. I think he fights Khan. I would give Brook a very small chance to win. Brook can box and punch and take a punch. He is better than Khan and has a better chance to beat Mayweather by far than light hitting, weak chinned Khan does. But Mayweather is still the best welterweight in the world and his speed and skill would almost certainly beat Brook. Brook didn't beat Porter by much and Mayweather is so much better than Porter.

If Brook can land flush on Floyd a few times, he might stand a chance at dropping him due to his power. Other than that, Floyd via UD, Vegas style.

Floyd clinched his ass off man. He was using headlocks and armlocks like an MMA champ too. There is no question, never was, that Floyd gets away with pretty much whatever he wants to at home. There are essentially no rules when he is in the ring...no way to sugar coat it either.

It could be a tougher fight than many expect.

Like Maidana, Brook has the one-punch game-changer but with better boxing skills. Just not sure about how he closes distance and cuts off the ring.

not sure if it was a masterclass but you can make a good argument he had the better defense. by my count floyd out landed him 109 to 100 but half of floyd's punches were jabs and a lot of floyd's punches weren't particularly clean where the majority of pacs were. pac was also slipping, blocking, pulling back from punches which are legal moves where as floyd was clinching and bending below the waist which are illegal and yet pac still landed the cleaner harder punches in a majority of the rounds.

"You can make a good argument he had a better Defense"

What?!

Stylewise, it favours Floyd.

Brooks only advantages are size and power.

He does have a good jab though so that might cause a problem or two.

It is boxing so anything can happen in that ring but I don't see it happening. I don't think he can't out-box Mayweather and I don't think he has the type of Power to give himself a "Punchers Chance" so it would be extremely hard for Kell Brook to win rounds let alone The Actual Fight!
