Comments Thread For: Kell Brook: I Expected Golovkin To Be a Bigger Puncher!

[NaijaD]

he didnt' say he wasn't a big puncher

Dude don't bother trying to explain anything. You are wasting your time.... simple reading comprehension is scarce around these parts.

Golovkin tried to lure them even more: stayed toe-to-toe, sometimes gave up his stiff jab, no lateral movement, no body movement, no head movement (at first, Malignaggi was scandalized -- at the end he noticed the huge variety of punches GGG displayed in the 5th)...

Vs Khan, Canelo threw 170 punches and landed 64 (37.6%)... Last night, Brook threw 261 and landed 85... GGG threw 301 and landed 133 (44.2%) in less than 5 rounds...

... Vs Brand, Ward landed 190 of 490 blows (39%) in 12 rounds...

Brook did boxing a big favour in exposing Golovkin.

Brook said he expected GGG to be a bigger puncher... then he got hospitalized and was scheduled for broken eye socket surgery...

"I'm out of the hospital. I need operation next week but I will be fine and I'll be back. Sorry I couldn't bring it home tonight," Brook told

Lol I already gave your props brook with a tribute thread just for you, but spilling nonsense that GGG doesn't hit hard as you almost lost your eye sight tonight doesn't make it right thinking GGG doesn't have the heavy hands to destroy you.

He did and then you saw a white towel in the ring.

Don't push it. You've made noise now learn to know your place Brook.

Uhmmm your eye socket is probably wondering what the *** where you expecting a train?.

[Spoon23]

Brook looked like a real middleweight in there its unbelievable how manny ****-talkers are around here. I think he should stay at middleweight, he is the favorite against anyone besides GGG. But i cant stand the trainer of Brook, Brook gave GGG some problems but at the first tough moment the ****** trainer threw the towel. I think Brook could have continued a round longer.

Being muscle heavy doesn't make you a legit middleweight. Bone density is what makes you determine a mans built and size.

Brook was and is the smaller man regardless he bulked up. Functional muscle plus bone density is what is measured in how powerful a puncher is in a division.

Yeah no head movement at all. His face was a battering ram for crying out loud. As if he just left it there to get hit over and over.

As if the guy uses his face as a shield just so he can get his punches in lol

Best analogy is a tank who had no fear of being hit by machine gun bullets. He knows it can handle its armored plated head. he let's it get hit to open up a stiff jab and combinations. That to me is berserker mode boxing.

Now, If GGG face a heavy handed legit middleweight that fought like brook that night and left his face as a target. I bet GGG would have tasted the canvas as early as the first round. The guys face was wide open for target practice.

Brook did make a good showing and deserves credit for coming into the ring. He would been out in the first round if not for holding on. He was in serious trouble in the 5th round and his corner was right to save him. Many fighters who get beaten up later fluff their feathers afterwards to try and save face. Rosado said things, Lemieux as well after they came out of their stupor and get brave again. I will agree that GGG showed his vulnerability and in fact rated himself only a 4 out of 10 in the fight. It still doesn't mean Brook had any chance of surviving that fight. As is his typical fashion, GGG made the decision to end the fight and get Brook out of there and that's exactly what he did. If they would have let that fight go on, Brook would have suffered more than a fractured eye socket. He's fortunate that Ingles was in his corner and had the compassion to throw in the towel. I think both fighters learned something last night. GGG will be sure to work on his defense and Brook will think twice before making silly pre-fight predictions.

[moochi]

He got fkn creamed.

Poor GGG - unless he's KO'ing ppl cold in round one, it means he's **** ....WTF

Brook was good in spurts, and GGG let him hit him several times as he didnt' care.....it's not the first time GGG has done that, but you see him against harder punchers, he fights smarter (eg against Lemieux).

Watching the replay, Brook's corner did a great job in throwing in the towel, I believe he was only a minute or so away from being in a much worse state and possibly end of career.

Khan got KO'd with one punch, but it's a lot better health wise to lose that way than from continuous thudder shots to your hard head. Fact.
