I'd like to know how long ago this was,his reaction timing seemed off in this spar.I know it's only sparring but it's GGG we're talking about here.

I was gonna say long ago but damn this is really recent. Kell looks really fresh faced and young, like strangely.

Smith is just that good man, people need to stop sleeping on him. I said these guys needed to spar each other for these fights. My confidence for both upsets just jumped hugely.

Great footage to remember him by.

looks like he's working hard, but if the golovkin punches bounce off of his face before he sees them like the those smith shots did he's going to wake up on the ground!

Thanks for sharing.

Brook fan and I'd love him to do it, it'd be huge but I just don't see it happening for the life of me. I think he can have some moderate success early, I think the right uppercut in particular is a good weapon for him.

Personally for me its not the natural size difference so much its Brooks tendencies which he is even doing in this short sparring clip (pulling straight back, lazy jab brought back too low, laying on the ropes - big NO!).

I don't think his sparring has been ideal either, a 6ft3 14 fight JMW with minimal amateur experience & another JMW who fights absolutely nothing like Golovkin.
Should of brought in some good quality Eastern European MWs. The style, the way they position their hands, feet & throw punches are completely different to U.K schooled fighters.

yeah, khytrov might've been good prep

Love how he tries pushing Smith back on his heels and the camera cuts out.
Clearly edited to make him look better but he still looks pretty poor.
He doesn't look sharp he looks rather slow and bloated.

Too many bad tendencies. Meh I want to give him a shot but the reality is this is going to end badly.

Like I said its not just the size I don't think he has the style to pull it off and he has too many bad tendencies that play to GGGs strengths.

People say Khan vs Canelo was a horrific mismatch and it maybe was but you could make a legitimate case for Khan there I'm not sure you can for Brook.
I'm just not seeing it.

yeah, i mean you can't take much from a 30 second clip, but looked like Smith was beating him up..
I dont like the khan comparisons tbh, Khan was knocked out cold by lightweights, but yeah it's pretty much mission impossible, which is why im getting excited for it......imagine if he pulls it off..
