but he was laughing at how Brook's face was bouncing off a jab.
But I watched the replay-- the only thing Brook did pull out was a confident, and cool demeanor. Aside from that, he was supposed to be the faster guy, so looked as to that. I gave him 4 rounds in my other post before the fight because I knew he had good defense. But just not enough to take monster power shots that, even if 1 landed, will wear someone down. And it showed by the fifth.
Nobody gave Gennady his credit for the attributes he has shown his entire career. But everyone gave Brook all the credit for lasting half a fight and having tagged and making GGG miss.
Skills aren't everything in boxing as I've said. Takes grit, endurance, and a whole lot of other things. And even though natural weight was the issue, it was clear who was the winner just based on how the fight ended in the fifth round.
Reminds me of the Taylor vs Chavez fight though, just a preference thing among people --quantity versus quality--
