Comments Thread For: Hearn: Brook Deserves Respect, Gave Golovkin a Hell of a Fight!

[lolpz]

When he started to jab and go to the body in an organized manner the fight ended.

Did you actually watch the fight or were seeing what you wanted to see

His eye was already gone, did u see Ingle in the corner talking to brook? It kept getting worse and he knew it was over. I wasn't seeing what I "wanted" to see, I personally had the fight tied 2-2, but 3-1 brook was understandable when accounting for swing rounds, there were 2 very close rounds. When golovkin jumped on him like that in the 5th round Brook's eye was pretty much done and you could see him repeatedly touching it with his glove. The round right before that golovkin jumped on brook the same way and brook was able to tag him with counter shots as golovkin was coming in, but the eye was bothering him to the point he couldn't do it anymore in the following round. That's basically when the fight was over.

I mean, im not saying golovkin got "lucky" or anything like that because the eye injury happened from a punch like...duh he produced the injury with his own fist so he caused the stoppage clearly. But it could have been a different fight had brook not been so careless on those ropes in the first couple of rounds and tried to force the fight more towards the middle of the ring like he started doing in the rounds he was having success in. Imo if brook could have kept that up (it seemed he was in good shape) and not get caught with anything TOO cleanly (which was also possible because Golovkin was swinging wildly at times missing the target and eating shots) it would have been a REALLY close fight for however long it lasted (which it was.)

Didn't Martin Murray do more? Lasted longer and won more rounds lol.

yea but he is white so it don't matter

If you're saying it would need a larger prime FJM or RJJ to give Golovkin a boxing lesson then I thing you are praising Golovkin without realising it.

yes and he is also saying that cause he has a black face like payweather and RJJ. they hate the fact GGG is killing the bros

The bottom line is that Brook diid not last the distance. His eye got busted by an intention punch to the face.

Brook was out-matched and he deserves credit for lasting as long as he did with that busted eye socket. Ultimately, he couldn't control the fight as you described because his opponent was Gennady Golovkin, not Kevin Bizier.

He deserves credit for being gutsy. But he deserves scorn for putting himself in a position where he was obviously going to get pulverized.

You're a champ dude - gotta be smarter about these things.
