    I don't think he'll win, but I do believe he's going to make a better fight of it than everyone is predicting. Sure, GGG COULD steam roll him. But skill for skill and stylistically, this is a solid fight. The fact that Kell has never fought about WW is going to be the key. I think the first 6 or so rounds will be competitive but GGG's pressure and body work will catch up to Brook.

      Totally agree. My British friend, a nagging question. Why couldn't a Khan/Brook fight get made. It seems to me that both could have made more $$$ fighting each other and at least one of them would have survived it.

        its not a mismatch, 35-0 v 36-0, both fighters similar weight (in fact brook is heavier) Golovkin should be a fairly clear favourite but its not a mismatch. A mismatch is spence v bundu where spence is 1/100 to win.

            Yea Golovkin is going to knock poor dude out. It would be a huge upset if Brook were to win.

They are so used to fighters like ward having tune up after tune up against bums to 'grow into the division' rather than just growing a set of balls and going after the top guy in the division straight away.
              They're just upset GGG has got himself into a big fight.

                Are you trying to make this obvious mismatch sound like a competitive fight because you are a hardcore g string ball gagger or a UK homer? Perhaps both?

                  Sounds plausible, but wouldn't both have made a crap ton more money before being destroyed by Canelo and g string?

                    Brook looked good at the public workout. I was concerned his speed would be down with the extra weight but he looks very sharp.
