Comments Thread For: Brook Saw Upset: Golovkin Was Getting Tired, Breathing Heavy

[Graz]

I guess Brook sustained more head trauma than I thought.

Brook was done, he was taking shots cleanly without firing much back. He was trapped on the ropes and his legs were wobbly. He would not of survived another 2 rounds. He saved some face because his corner stopped the fight before he could get knocked out cold. He should stop worrying about would could have been and instead focus on recovering because at the moment he's coming across as very bitter in defeat.

He was also taunting the **** out of Golovkin. He wasn't feeling his power. Watch the 5th round carefully.

You're being sarcastic right? Assuming you're not, I did watch the 5th round and what I saw was a man with no legs, Brook languished on the ropes because he could barely stand at that point. When he threw a few shots at GGG he did so by lunging at him in the air, the sign of a man giving it what little he had left.

What was really telling was after 5th round, not even during. When Brook went to go over to GGG for the congratulatory 'good job' hug he stutter-stepped on his way over to GGG. His legs were gone and it was only a matter of time. Just because he was taunting GGG doesn't mean he wasn't hurt, just means he has some balls, which we all knew from him taking the fight in the first place.

If you're 'rooting for Brook' as you say you were... yet not acknowledging he tested GGG more than he's ever been tested... you're the one who isn't too bright. I never said Brook didn't get injured, never said he wasn't outlanded, never said Brook won the fight... none of that. All I'm doing is bringing up facts the GGG fans refuse to even acknowledge.

I am very very dumb, but i was rooting for Brook.
I am just fair.

Only good round for Kell was the 2nd.
If you watch the fight "mute" you will see that Golovkin methodically hit him with jabs, hooks and you name it.

The difference between you and me my friend is that i do not have a HATE AGENDA and i am FAIR.

I must go watch this fight again because last time i did Brook was literally helpless on the ropes by 5 & GGG was basically in sparring session mode! Yet i read these forums & Brook was outboxing Golovkin & he was breathing heavy LOL

Fighting GGG had 2 upsides for Brook. One was the money, of course, the other was that nobody expected him to win, so all he had to do to enhance his reputation was put up a good fight.

He did put up a good fight, and now he's milking it. Fair play to him, he earned the right to do that.

Friend, it's ludicrous to say I have a hate agenda. I have thought GGG has some serious talent for a few years now. As for fair... how fair is it to not even acknowledge the level of adversity GGG had to deal with from a fighter who tested him moreso than ever before?

I'm not backing away from the realities of the fight. GGG did a solid performance in the face of some very tough challenges for a couple rounds there from Brook. But writing Brook off as a nobody who supposedly barely had any success at all in this fight, that's just foolish. He did a lot more than just a few things in one round. The full proof will be GGGs next few fights... now that his opponents have seen the right formula to beat him. A formula that we'd never have seen if not for Brook.

Oh Lord:

I am not writing Kell off of anything.
But he was almost killed in there, check the punch stats, watch the fight without any volume on the TV.
He was slaughtered.

He had a second great round and that is it.

Rewatch the last round without the fanboy goggles. Golovkin was punching himself out and Brook wasn't going down. Golovkin's shots were losing their pop.

Brook was like "is that all you got?"

[Disturbed]

The eye injury was a freak injury.

True. Its not like Golovkin made that happen with some powerful punches of him, right?
