Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin 162.9, Kell Brook 167.8 - WBC 7 Day Weights

[Madison Boxing]

if brook can take a fair amount of golovkins punches and actually tag triple ggg with some decent shots then its gonna be a great fight....I don't think he can beat golovkin but I do think he can hold his own for some time and actually test Gennady to the point of him giving respect and not bulldozering him into an early night....don't underestimate brook hes a very skliiful and accurate puncher and im so looking forward to this sleeper of a fight......brooks never been beaten and we really don't know how strong he will be at 160lb....respect to mr brook for taking on this huge task and facing the neon demon...instead of slating this fight lets look at what is and commend brook for trying to be great...brook might just surprise a lot of people...brook is a very skilled fighter

great post, although i think golovkins going to win, im fed up of people ****ting on this fight and writing brook off completely. You cant write off a fighter with kell brooks skills before hes even entered the ring

Its easy to lose 8 lbs in a few days. You stop drinking and eating 24 hours before weigh inn, thats it. After the weigh inn you rehydrate, what do you mean how some fighters put on so mutch weight after the weigh inn? Because they drain himself for the weigh inn thats it. So 167.8 pounds 7 days before the weigh in is no problem at all, its easy.

Time will tell! I think GGG's plan is a better one, so that you can lose the weight, yet still eat and drink. I think Brook should've been 160 on fight night! Sugar Ray Leonard was 158 on the weigh-in when he beat Hagler!

I give brook all the credit in the world, doesn't change it being a farce of a fight though, it's a triple copycat fight.

Stfu dude, all you've done is hype this ****, it's embarrassing, pathetic, and you probably get his pubes in the mail for it.

He's in great shape, for a normal human. But he's not looking that great for a world class boxer. Maybe a mid level bodybuilder. Too much muscle isn't a good thing in boxing.

You are talking **** dude. Brook looks in great shape, especially because of the weight hes actually at. I mean 167.8 thats super Middle territory, and hes not looking fat in the slightest.

Is he 1% bodyfat like he normally is no obv not, and to be honest Kells always very muscular, Here he is at Porter weigh in.


I expect him to lose the few extra pounds extremely easily. Hes used to being a much lower weight and also killing himself diet-wise to make it. So in theory it should start to fall off if he goes on his usual pre-weigh-in diet, as his body is accustom to shedding the weight.

With all that being said, he will most likely loses anyway lol. However I will be rooting for him for sure.

EXACTLY. Normal everyday people in a few months can pack on 20-30 pounds of muscle just to look good for a bytch. But if you care more then just what your body looks like it's a problem. Otherwise if all you needed was to get on a insane weight lifting program to be successful in boxing you would see featherweights jumping up to middleweight in 1 year. It don't work that way in boxing. Adding that muscle almost always hurts you more then helps especially if you do it in a short amount of time.

What you've just said is complete nonsense. No one can pack on 20-30lbs of lean muscle in a couple of months unless they take steroids.

[Fury4daWIN]

GGG's weight, to borrow a wrestling term is a "work". He's coming in dry for his prefight weighins. He's weighed in at 170lbs on fight night. He's trying to sell the fight and dismiss any size advantage. If he does actually show up on the night of at a "shoot" weight of only 160lbs it means hes trying to tempt Canelo or at least see if he'd be comfortable at a catchweight if that's what it takes to make the fight. It's smoke and mirrors until we see in ring weights if they even tell us. If he's less than usual it's all about Canelo.

I have no doubt that's the case. FFS, how do you rehydrate to a higher weight than you've been at for the last month?

[Don Pichardo]

If his IBF title is on the line, he can hydrate no more than 157 (or 10 lbs above what he weighs in at)

Wow. Thanks for info. He does a good job of managing his weight then.

[Metho_4u]

What you've just said is complete nonsense. No one can pack on 20-30lbs of lean muscle in a couple of months unless they take steroids.

Covered that one already, but glad someone else knows what is reality. Not even steroid will put that kind of weight on you...not dry muscle weight at least.

[Basco]

Yeah he will. He says he wants to fight Spence in the US.
