G still looks bigger than the brit.

That brit bum

[kingstip9]

There will be a size difference no doubt, ggg looking hungry/thirsty
Brook looking full and hydrated
Let's see how it looks the night of the fight

I think brook will struggle with golovkins superior reach
He's always leaning back chin high to slip shots but it won't work with someone with longer arms

Golovkin looking serious like he did with curtis stevens at their weigh in

Brook bulked and trained hard for this fight which is two weight division above his natural weight fighting weight whereas GGG didn't do anything special other than make his natural weight. Speed is the key for Brook but GGG is not exactly a slow boxer and if Kell moves heavy like he looks right now, I doubt this fight will go over 4 rounds. Difference is, GGG is a proven MW while Brook is not..

What the pics dont show is that Kells legs are pretty big and power starts from the legs....

Hopkins made 19 defenses not 20 he had a NC against Allen when Bernard was getting the worst of things and jumped out the damn ring.

Golovkin looks ready to sleep, not ready for war.

If thats the case what hell is he still doing at 160? He'll do just fine he will KO Brook in 6 and that is that.

Either GGG is ill because he looks pale and zombie like

or he has come in light because he thought Brook would come in light - which he hasnt

Either way GGG doesnt look healthy to me, but can Kell beat a weaker ill version of GGG?

Let's go Brook!

Being more muscular in boxing is not always a plus. You have to supply those muscles with oxygen........Golovkin has typically weighed the same, 7 day weight the same, I don't think he had any trouble making weight.....I think it may simply be jetlag as has been suggested but after a night's sleep, he'll me good to go.

Brook may be too eager and if the weigh-in gave him confidence, it might mean it ends early if he gets over-eager. But I expect he'll tough it out for six or so until he starts to gas. GGG tracks him down in 7-8 and by 9, Brook is taking brutalizing punishment.

Golovkin doesn't seem to be worried, not scared, almost bored....which could be because he's tired. If he doesn't put on 10 pounds.......that will be the moment to doubt. But his quick-twitch muscles that generate a lot of that power are intact.

Props to Brook. Dude is a man's man. Unlike Canelo.....
