Comments Thread For: Martin Murray: Golovkin Stops Brook in Five, Six Rounds Tops

yet another fighter saying how GGG is a level above anyone else theyve been in a ring with, yet people on this forum still say GGG is a hypejob.

haha, yeah. people who, AT BEST, have trained and fought in amateur fights. (I would venture to guess that 95% of people on NSB have never put on a pair of gloves and sparred anyone, much less fought 3 minutes rounds).

I take GGG's opponents' word for it.

I like that Murray gave a good, unbiased opinion even though he could have easily went the homer route and claim that Brook will win. I also liked how he gave GGG his kudos for being on a different level and acknowledged the size difference between the two fighters. Pretending like Brook is naturally bigger because of a weigh-in is silly. Hopefully, Brook can make it more of fight than most of us think....

I say 3 or less

yet another fighter who says the size difference is too much to overcome.

I think thats the standard take on this fight. KO in 6 or less rounds.

I feel like this is basically going to be a more competitive version of Canelo vs Khan & with that fight I felt like betting on a KO at ~11/1 in each of the 1st 6 rounds along with a Canelo W guaranteed a winnable night it was just a matter of how winnable a night. That said with this fight I think a GGG bet along with a KO in each of the 4th-10th rounds at ~11/1 would make for a profitable night as well.

I will say I do give Brook a much better chance of NOT being KO'd at all cuz I think he's a smarter fighter than Khan & I don't think his jaw is has fragile, but if I had to go one way or the other I feel like a KO is happening to Brook on this night.

Brook can protect the chin well and takes a good punch. but GGG body head attack still too much.

I think what's bothering people (and they all express it in different ways) is the fact that we know Golovkin is good, but we really want him to prove that, he hasn't had one fight that's taken him to the limit.

Bro that's like EXACTLY the criticism I wrote about Floyd Mayweather a couple years ago! And Floyd fans got on my case. See what it's like now lol? See what us Floyd "haters" had to deal with? At least with GGG, he wants to fight the top guys, he'll fight all the top guys that will get in with him. With Floyd you had Margarito, Williams, Spaddy, prime Pac, all these guys begging to fight him, and he wouldn't do it because "we're not fighting to prove to boxing fans who the best is" and "if I hand pick my opponents that's a good thing! Everything is supposed to go easy for me."

But yeah man whoever is to blame, it's so frustrating not to see these top guys really tested so we can know for sure how good they really are. I just think the GGG criticism is ****** because it accomplishes nothing. Criticize Canelo and Jacobs instead, and that might actually get them in the ring with GGG, which will solve the problem and actually get you to see him tested which is what we all want to see. But criticizing GGG for being ducked is only helping the duckers get away with ducking him even longer, it's not helping get us the great fights. Whereas criticizing Floyd did in fact put pressure on Floyd to take better fights. Not that he listened, but at least we tried man, since he was the one deciding that, or his team. With GGG it's not him deciding not to fight Jacobs, it's Jacobs, so that's the difference, and that's why Jacobs is the one who deserves the criticism for it, not GGG.

All these fighters and trainers keep saying Brook is too small, but the Lil Gina's keep arguing he's not.

At 35, how many HOFs or future HOFs did FMJ have on his resume and how many does GGG have?

If Kell Brook box at angles and can withstand Golovkin punching power and deliver hard blows to get Golovkin respect maybe it goes 12. I think Golovkin stops Brook in 8
