Brook is unlikely to win but strangers thinhgs have happened.
Historically underdogs cause upsets and win

[Box-Office]

It will be competitive in spots.

To all the dumb asses who keep saying weight won't play a factor need to be smacked in the back of the fuucking head. First of all if this fight was at 147 (Brooks weight class) the odds would go up drastically for Brook and people would not know who to pick because you still have a bigger fighter fighting a smaller fighter, but dropping the weight would even things out.


But you have a bigger fighter who is supposed to be the best in that division bring up a guy 2 divisions is terrible. All I'm saying if weight wasn't an issue in boxing and Brook and lil are supposed to be the same size they both should make 147 no problem. Clearly they are not the same size and one fighter is naturally bigger. I wouldn't give Brook a shot at any top 154 pound fighter as well as 160 fighter.

There are weight classes for a reason and pussie g is scared to move up one through out his career.

Brook will show why so many rate him highly but GGG will start to wear him down and punish him around five any time after that it looks like one way traffic with Kell in survival mode.It's far too much weight to give away to the best p4p fighter.
I hope I'm wrong but like Fred can't see it any other way.

Totally agree with this. Very surprised that anyone is giving Brook any chance to win. As somebody posted online previously (I forget where), even if Brook & GGG were in the same weight division GGG would still be a huge favourite.

Currently the odds are 1/6 for GGG and 6/1 for Brook (-600 GGG and +600 Brook for my US friends :-). I'll be putting my money where my mouth is come fight time and putting a decent wedge down on GGG. Never seen a better 1/6 bet, no way Brook is winning this fight.

I should qualify that with I have massive respect for Brook in taking the fight when the true MWs appear scared

Finally something constructive coming from Roach.

I know weight is HUGE and that goes for losing too much and gaining too much. Just like Aids Patient De La Hoya looked!!

At least the fight is on HBO? And if Brook wants to get KTFO like Khan did??? Ohh well! Just like Khan looked good in spots, so will Brook until...BAM! KTFO!

Kell Brook manned up to face GGG which the scared BJ Saunders and Eubank were afraid to do. Credit to Kell and shame to BJ and Eubie both cowards.

You can add Canelo to that group. GGG really didn't have an opponent after Eubanks pulled out..

[Oldschool5]

100% agreed.
