Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin Tested, Stops Kell Brook in Five Rounds

[MDPopescu]

Do you think GGG's performance will finally convince Canelo that he can take him now?

Canelo is no ****** (like the trolls here)... But even if he was, Oscar understands this kind of things easier...

Let's see. You've been here since 2015 and you think I'm a fanboy?

You would struggle to find more unbiased posters on here than me and you know it.

And pages ago, you were willing to eat crow about this fight, and now you change your stance and want to throw away that respect?

How hard is it to just admit you were wrong about the outcome of the fight and just chalk it up as a L and say "good fight"?







You don't even refute anything I said, either. So, again, did you ignore the post fight interviews? Or did you just not watch them?

Tell me again how I am a fanboy, and of whom? This whole forum knows I am a GGG fan AND a Brook fan. Try again.

Did you ignore the actual ending of the fight? C'mon man...Brook's eye being damaged stopped this fight.

It's not just about the weight itself, it's about what you are at the weight. Golovkin is a big, powerful guy cutting to middleweight, Kell was a blown up welter that stopped cutting in order to fight at middleweight and Golovkin himself said as much; 'he's not middleweight.'

Brook can make 147, Golovkin can't make 154; that is the size difference.

I wanted Kell to do it, but my position was clear; I believe he's more skilled, but Golovkin's natural size advantage will render that meaningless in the end.

Lara and Canelo are both counter punchers and 154 fighters, that's a totally different match-up in terms of style and size.

Khan to me looked like a blown up 155lbs fighter you seen Khan looking a bit chubby at 155lbs and this was at the weigh-in!
When you saw Brook at the weigh-in he made 159.4lbs and he had obliques and visible abdominal all in good shape and by the night of the fight he still didn't look chubby/fat etc he held the weight fairly well.

If you want to say Kell Brook isn't a middleweight you best say he isn't a welterweight either he is in the same position as Erislandy Lara he would easily make 154lbs and he can make 160lbs too which he clearly displayed today but still you don't come weighing in at 170lbs the way he looked if you're too small.

GGG naturally was broader and naturally stronger but that's just like I said with every other fighter sometimes you gotta deal with that adversity this fight wasn't anywhere near as bad as Gamboa Vs. Crawford If you'd think it was comparable.

I thought Kell won rounds 2, 3, and 4.

No, I didn't miss it.

Yes, his eye being damaged unfortunately stopped the fight.

What does this have to do with what I said?

If you go back and find my running scorecard, I had GGG ahead by only a round. I was giving full credit and happy Brook was fighting his fight for the majority of the time. It was a BS stoppage regardless of the eye imo.

So again, what is your point?

You're right, it wasn't because Brook did anything special.

IT WAS BECAUSE GGG WANTED TO GET HIM OUT OF THERE, HE WASN'T RESPECTING HIS POWER, AND HE WANTED TO MAKE IT A STREET FIGHT.

Did you also miss the post fight interviews, or are you choosing to ignore them?

Are you that new to boxing that you can't differentiate between a fighter choosing to be careless on defense, as opposed to actually getting hit when trying to slip and block?



How many times do you need to be reminded that he wants to unify the division first?

Just because I don't go to work today and go to work Monday, does this mean I am scared to go to work? Do you not realized how flawed your logic is?

You used to be a good poster, at one point, not sure what happened with that.

I don't even know who you are, I've posted for longer. Why would anyone care?

[HarvardBlue]

So let me get this straight... According to Golovkin and some of you, fighting Brook was so easy he didn't even utilize any of his skills; he basically went into a street fight... "Just like sparring." And yet he told us that this was his biggest threat to date. Tell me again why am I suppose to get excited about Golovkin? Best EVER???

[Tony Trick-Pony]

I had no problem with the stoppage. Brook was on the verge of going down. And that eye looked rough in a short amount of time.

Golovkin didn't look his best, but he did use that hammering jab to bust the smaller man up. I think he knew Brook wouldn't be able to hurt him. So he walked straight through him. It wasn't the slickest performance but he did what he had to do.

Now, bring on the middleweights. Surely one of them saw some vulnerability in there.

[BillyBoxing]

Wow...you blind fanboy...

No, you blinded hater.

What happened to all that Brook by decision??

GGG started figured Brook defense in two round then beat him with every shots, outjabed him.

He beat him physically but also in the skills department.

Give credit to GGG cuz you thought he was a better man, he lost and couldn't be competitive for more than 2 rounds.

Good post! I think Lara vs. Brook would be a very good fight @ 154. Cotto vs. Brook is good too! Brook's corner saved his future!
