Comments Thread For: Roach: Brook Has NO Shot To Beat Gennady Golovkin

[fredhopple]

Brook definitely has balls and courage. He also suicidal... Too much weight. I'm just waiting for the under/over odds if he last as long as Khan did???

If Kell lasts 6 rounds it would be great.

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

Can't blame GGG for not getting the top fighters to fight him. Blame boxing which has zero leadership and is not controlled. Greedy seedy lying promoters run boxing where cash is King and titles mean squat. Boxing is out of control and just an open competition with no real rules or structure.

???? Is it REALLY that close??? I mean I know Crawford is a 1/6 favorite??? But didn't know GGG/Brook was??? Sht! I'm putting ALL my $$$$$ on GGG.

Shadoww702 - I know right?! I mean 1/6 is usually slim odds, but for GGG to beat Brook I reckon that's very fat. Don't remember GGG ever being such a good price, next closest I recall off top of my head was 1/7 to beat Macklin (which was also a forgone conclusion imo).

Expecting it to be around 1/10 or something when fight night comes around though, can't imagine people passing this price up

I still can't get over all the crap GGG gave Canelo for fighting Khan and they he turns around and basically does the same exact thing, but worse.

I see what you are trying to say but Khan is worse as he is seen as a joke in boxing. Brook was even criticised for being so desperate to fight such a chinny and used goods boxer!

Plus nello dodged ggig to fight Khan. Ggig hasn't got anyone who will fight without silly demands . The only thing Khan and brook got in common is moving up 2 weights

I hear ya! He WASTED MONTHS on CanYellow and Eubank. This is the best under such short notice. Non one is available or wants it. Brook is decent and as we SAW last night EVERYONE fights 13-25 lbs lower.

Crawford 140 title. Fight weight 158.

GGG is naturally a 154 lber who moved up to Middleweight for better fights. So both will probably weigh the same fight night. But can Kell take the hard body shots from GGG? Probably not.

[JUNIABOY]

Of course Roach was going to say that. He thinks that GGG is the best fighter in the world. He wants to be right.

[JUNIABOY]

Definitely over. Ggg carries his opponents normally into the 6th round. I'm guessing he'll do it longer versus brook just to maybe not make it seem like such a big mismatch.

GGG is -700 against Brook.

I saw the over/under at 10.5 with the under at -135.
