He didn't look hurt at any point to me. Kept coming forward. Looked a little sick and wasn't as cut up as normal at the weigh-in or fight. Something was definitely up with that dude's health on fight day.

"this fight is going to happen very soon" ... how long has this mofo been saying this. lol

2 judges had Brook winning 2 of the first 4, one judge had Brook winning 3 of the first 4. And no, your hero did not walk through all the Brook punches. And he had a bloody snoot and Abel was grinding on him big time, and GGG gave himself a 4 out of 10 on performance. You GGG fans need to just be quiet and concede your guy was getting schooled for a couple rounds there. Brook landed some serious shots. Or ignore reality. No worries either way IMO. Just expect to get called out when you act like GGG is some gold-plated God of boxing.

Physically GGG wasn't in his usual form, whether it was sickness or jetlagged or fatigued, yet he still nearly ko'd brook in the first round. if you didn't notice, he let his guard down and brawled, he let brook in and said hit me more. Why? because he felt what power brook had, and like he's said and done before, he brawls and allows the opponent to get exchanges to please the crowd because he feels their little power! Even after the fight he mentioned he felt no power, he mentioned respecting fighters with power such as david lemieux, and in that fight he fought smart!. He gave himself a 4/10 because he knows himself he felt like **** going into the fight. Now imagine GGG at his usual 10/10. There is no other boxer fighting today that has a better record than him when you combine both amateur and pro, so yes he is the God of boxing today.

The fact that a WW was GGG's first test is sad! The fact that Brook is getting props for getting physically abused is depressing!

Obviously, Brook is getting praise for making GGG look clueless for a couple rounds, not for the fight getting stopped. But he'll be back in 5-6 months according to drs., so that's good news.

He may have hit GGG with something he didn't like in the 2nd but all it did was piss Golvkin off cuz he came out like a man possessed in the 3rd! Triple G is the type of guy that is going to make you pay ASAP if you buzz him. I don't think he was hurt but Brook wasn't a feather fist in there either. GGG is just so locked into knocking you out that he imposes his will even when getting hit with good shots. You would have to put him to sleep to beat him. I don't see anybody at MW doing that any time soon.
