Any Theories as to Brook's weight gain?

[Robbie Barrett]

yeah you are correct, 'isaac' should know that golovkin brook was mentioned a long time ago, naive if they think it was just announced on the day like hearn said. And apparantly according to him and others brook isnt a big welterweight and golovkin is a large middleweight.

So Golovkin lied and planned to fight Brook all along.

[Madison Boxing]

Brook said he was starving and hungry all the time when he was making 147. He had 2 fights with Jones. The first fight was at 147 and he almost lost the fight. He rematched Jones at a weight limit of 152 and won by KO. He is probably stronger and hits harder at a weight well above 147. He was 167 to GGG's 162 a week before the fight so he might actually outweigh GGG on fight night. I don't think the gain in weight and punching power by Brook will be enough to save him from a beat down and an early round KO loss. I don't think he can hurt GGG but GGG can and will hurt him early and often. I think GGG is the better fighter at any weight.

yeah thats what i think, golovkin wins because hes the better fighter (although i still rate brook). Size IS an advantage for golovkin, but the slight weight advantage he has isnt the defining factor in this fight

he will have been an option for a while, yes. When eubanks daddy said jr couldnt fight, brook was next in line and was ready for the challenge.

Smarter than you. Promoters make plans behind the scenes mate otherwise we'd all get photocopies of contracts and phone call recordings in the media lol. This was planned for a long time believe it. Ignorance is not an excuse. ****** is though. You may be both but if you only talk about things you know it's easier to hide it.

So now the Lil Gina's are saying Golovkin planned to fight Brook all along, after defending the fight saying they tried to make other fights and this was a last resort. You can't make this shit up.

[Robbie Barrett]

Im not a little G fanboy. So wrong again. Damn you've had a bad run in this thread vs me. You should probably just leave as you're digging yourself a hole. I even said at the time and its on this forum so you can search cause im not doing the work for you, that eubank would probably pull out and it was all a bs publicity move by eddie and the gang.

If that's true then everything Golovkin said about trying to fight others is bullshit too. If you aren't a Lil G fan why are you trying to put it all on Hearn and Brook? Protecting the lying Lil G and K2. Only one that is embarrassing themselves is you, it's obvious you're making this **** up from post to post.

[Madison Boxing]

No the eubanks most likely did eddie a favour in return for his future promotion and probably a guaranteed shot at the winner. This is how the business world works mate, fans only see what promoters want them to see. When you have a little bit of intelligence in your brain you become aware of these things though.

'isaac'believes everything eddie hearn says, takes his word as gospel

[Robbie Barrett]

Here's a quote from the article (printed ALL THE WAY BACK IN APRIL!):

"Golovkin's representative Loeffler has responded by challenging Brook to follow in the footsteps of legendary welterweights who have made the move to middleweight."

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........... .....

It's almost like Brook could have heard that and thought, wow, i could get the fight, I'll start putting on weight now so getting to 160 is easier, and if I don't get it I'll get a 154 fight against someone like smith (who 'randomly' called him out around the time) and spend the whole camp cutting.

White flags waving in Isaacs corner.....

A fighter wouldn't put on muscle and prepare to move up two divisions for a fight he "might" get. Just think how ****** what you're saying is.

[Robbie Barrett]

But clearly he did. cause he had a six pack at the 30 day weigh in and was 16lbs over the 160 mark. What I'm saying makes perfect sense and is backed by evidence, everything you're saying is just opinion and a rubbish and wrong one at that.

Yours is opinion and makes little sense unless they knew they were getting the fight. Brook is obviously carrying more fat, he's nowhere near as ripped as he was at WW. You're trying your best to defend Golovkin and failing miserably. But you not a fan though.

To be fair I don't think this was planned as such, they maybe had a plan unbeknown to GGG. However the plan was the Eubanks, they are the ones that made all the noise & talked the big up, and then bottled it when it came to money and other promo rights ticket prices etc etc.

Did Hearn and Brook want GGG after they saw the money Khan made vs canelo, yup of course. When Jnr and his dad talked utter shyte and it fell through, Brook and hearn saw there chance and nicked it.

Was Brook looking to move up anyway, yeah its been mentioned numerous time prior to this fight announcement. Most people in the UK were expecting
to see Brook move up if A Khan fight didn't come off anyway. This fight win or lose for Brook puts pressure on Khan which is the fight they really want.

I think some of you are putting 2 & 2 together and making 5.

He hasn't gained weight, he has just cut less.
