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

[hitking]

I felt cheated, Kell was in the fight, he would have wanted to fight it out but his corner waved it off, maybe they knew something we didn't and protected their fighter....anyway, I thought GGG would be able to caught Kell in the later rounds and just want to see that moment come to fruition hadn't Kell's corner interfered...disappointed about the stoppage though..

I agree to an extent. Because of the eye injury, I felt the stoppage was good. That said, I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch. Kell was very much in the fight. And outside of the first round, he was taking GGG's shots just fine. Accumulation was gonna get him today. But it wasn't like GGG was landing at will. And with two good eyes, Brook can be even better defensively. If GGG isn't gonna fight anybody witha pulse next. I'd love to see a rematch. After Kell heals up of course.

IMO Canelo vs GGG would play out similar although it'd be more competitive. Canelo has very good hand speed just like Brook but he'll get tired like Brook and then GGG would steam roll him. Canelo can't fight at a hight pace for 12 rnds.

As for Brook....Errol Spence is going to KO him in his next fight.

Canelo's stamina is a whole lot better than it was 3 years ago.

I have no desire to see GGG fight any of the current top middleweights. I would however love to see him fight the Ward-Kovalev winner. That would cement his claim as the #1 P4P fighter on the planet.

Or better yet fight Wlodarczyk at cruiser. This way your dream of GGG losing will finally become a reality. But we both know that you don't care about GGG and would just be happy if he vanishes from the face of Earth so that the fighters you like could claim MW division. But no soup for you! )))

you must really hate brook

the guy got his face broken

his face will never heal properly

and you want to see him in a rematch?

this was always going to be the outcome, the fight was either going to be stopped by the corner, waved off by the ref or we'd get to see a brutal KO

there is nothing brook could do to win the fight, nothing.

Just for perspective. Floyd Mayweather was widely criticized for fighting JMM, a fighter moving up two divisions. Even though he did so basically coming off a two year hiatus. Floyd beat him easily, as expected, and there was little to no excitement from his fanbase.

Conversely, GGG's fanbase is going crazy like beatinf Kell Brook. Brook is a good fighter. But JMM was pretty much top 5 on every P4P list when he fought Floyd. Brook didn't bring those kinda credentials to the ring.

And that's the difference between a truly great fighter. And a hypejob that people simply wanna believe is as great as they think he is. If GGG is truly great, you're not excited nor impressed by his performance today.

He fought a guy moving up two divisions today. Why can't he do the same?

As for the middleweight division. I couldn't care less about it. It sux.

He got hit with a good shot that did damage. Then came back and boxed well. I'm not dying to see a rematch. But if GGG's gonna fight a mandatory. Or bums like Jacobs or Saunders. Why not Brook?

Both Jacobs and Saunders would beat Brook

Brook landed a couple of shots, and was on the retreat for most of the fight...if thats boxing good to you then i dont know what to say

A man was in survival mode from round 1 and didnt even make it to the half way point

GGG didnt even take this kid seriously, it was hard to watch and everytime GGG landed i felt sorry for Brook

GGG and Abel gave his performance a 3-4 so you're right, it wasn't very impressive. GGG said he would turn it into a street fight so not really a surprise the way he fought.

For a guy in survival mode, he sure had GGG's head bobble-heading a lot. But I forgot, GGG gets hit on purpose.
