Comments Thread For: Brook: Golovkin, Experts Will Be Shocked at My Size on Fight Night!

[Progrssive_Jedi]

You just lied doe, he has fought at MW doe

He IS fighting a WW doe.

Brook has never fought a MW doe.

This is a crap fight doe

Those are facts doe.

Just like Canelo was fighting at MW when he fights at 155, when Brook fought at 155 he also fought at MW.

The guy he fought is now a LHW or something.

Brook was drained in jones first fight, so they fought at MW the second time around.

He's a lot better boxer than Murray but Murray is amazingly durable. This will be really a case of seeing how good G's ring cutting skills are as Brook will be the most elusive fighter he has fought to date.

Despite what the few haters say on here I'm thinking at least 95% of NSB posters will be tuned in on the night

I have a feeling he isn't gonna try to be elusive, because Brook isn't really that good at it. And fighters have been trying to run from GGG since the Olympics.

My guess is Brook tries tie GGG up and grapple his way to a win.

Brook's really not that elusive. He doesn't use a ton of movement and doesn't have fast feet.

Yeah, that makes sense. Muscle up to grapple better. GGG is not at his best inside. So Golovkin needs to jab hurtfully and maintain distance. Brook needs to avoid the jab and fight like he did against Porter.

lol its so funny, you all initially said brooks going to be way smaller, then when the 30 day weigh in happened you said hes going to be fat, now hes cut the fat and looking in great shape 'brooks size doesnt matter' 'he should have come in lighter'. Its almost as if you people just make crap up as you go along? surely not lol

Brook rehydrated to 156 against Porter, his trainer says he spars between 156-160. That's what they mean when they talked about being a natural MW. Golovkin weighs in at 170/171 on fight night, he's a natural LHW. Brook carrying extra weight in to the ring doesn't make him naturally the same size as Golovkin. Stop trying to make this fight look fair, when it's a mismatch.

Boxing fans watch boxing. The only way most hardcore fans will choose not to watch a fight is if an undesirable fight is put on PPV. And even then, most will try and stream it. I'll likely be tuned in Sat. That doesn't change the way I feel about the match-up though.

I think people are already as shocked as they are going to be with his size after the results of the 30 day weigh in. I think Brook's gonna need to shock people more with his performance than his weight doe.

GGG to Brook no matter what Brook does or say by fight night.

They probably will, but keep in mind there's been a drought of big fights, relatively speaking. So GGG vs Brook is a popular fight this year, because honestly what else is on this year? I'm sure for many boxing fans LSC vs Frampton was also a huge fight. Canelo vs Smith is a decent match up. Then lastly the super fight of 2016, Ward vs Kovalev. Fury vs Wlad will prob be boring, with 5 punches a round. Pacquiao vs Vargas may have decent action but no one is dying to see Vargas. Then Gonzalez vs Cuadras i'm sure many will tune in but it's just not for me. So I have about 3 more fights (officially signed) this year that I know of, that I find intriguing. Jacobs v Mora 2 isn't all that bad either
