    goddam? #1p4p? This over ward, ggg,rigo,loma,garcia or thurman? Bro spence got a while more rep to gain. I can tell you got spence on a pedestal.

      Posters here act like Brook's orbital bone injury wasn't caused by Golovkin's power. Did he have a pre-existing injury prior to that fight? If not, Brook's movement and athleticism was no match for Golovkin's heavy hands and ring cutting power.

      As a more mobile WW you are supposed to get a few shots in on a MW. Does anybody really thing that Rigo couldn't land a few shots on, say, Orlando Salido. Of course he would, but eventually he's probably get ground down. That is what we call a predictable ending.

      Do you think Golovkin wouldn't get a few shots in on Stevenson? He would but he's get ground down. That doesn't make it competitive does it.

      One more? How about James DeGale and Usyk ? Same ending.

      In short, Brook was outgunned in the end. He didn't have the power to keep Golovkin off him and if his team hadn't thrown in the towel he's have been on the floor like Daniel Geale.
      I watched the fight many times. Very competitive, give and take.

      Yes a broken orbital bone caused the fight to end - Yes it was caused by a GGG punch. Not taking anything away from GGG, but he didn't get a beatdown like has been said.

      It just didnt happen.

        However the Golovkin fight was definitely NOT competitive.

        Either you didn't watch the fight or you dont know crap about boxing.

              I was AT the fight.

              It was not competitive.

              Where did you watch it from?

              Brook took the fight for money. No problem with that, it was a business decision but let's not think that an undefeated welter champion landing a few punches on a middlewieght makes it "competitive" as, at that point, people might be inclined to question what you know about boxing . . . .

                Landed a few punches lol. He got hurt in the 5th and took a beating then, up until that point it was competitive of course with GGG having the upper hand.

                Brook was giving him a good fight, that's undeniable. Saying he got steamrolled is just not true.

                    It looked like Brook got dropped in the 3rd. Sky conveniently didn't replay it.

                    Seeing as you were there did you see it as a knockdown?
