Comments Thread For: Kell Brook Ponders Retirement: It Might Be The End of The Road

[NachoMan]

Khan ends up flat on his back counting stars.
Kell Brook cowers against the ropes before taking a knee and being counted out.
A fitting end to both their careers.

Fairly disrespectful of two fighters who have consistently demonstrated brass balls in their careers.

Just retire dude

your punch resistance is completely gone. You might have surpassed Khan on that dept!

you went down from the first solid punch that Crawford landed on you

your recuperative abilities are gone too

you won't be beating any top guys anymore.

its over Kelly

you were my favorite gay-in-closet boxer, but it's time to hang 'em up

the worst decission of your life was to fight GGG, you didn't have to do it, and you were never the same after that.

His boxing wasn't the problem though. He looked great boxing from mid-range for three rounds. It was his punch resistance that was the problem. Not sure you can train much for that, but maybe.

Bud fought Orthodox for 2 rounds, switched to Southpaw, game over! Did he not know that was going to happen?

I'm sure he did since Terrence spends half his fights in southpaw, but everybody's got a plan till they get punched in the face. Guys, this is boxing (in GGG voice). No matter how sharp you are, you're going to get punched in the face. Brook just can't take a punch (almost any punch) to the face anymore.

Do you think he knew that prior to the fight, or he just realized that after the fight? I can't see how he didn't know this prior to the fight, unless his sparring partners could not (or not allowed) hit him in the face.

No, I do not assume that Kell Brook believed that he could not take a punch to the face before this weekend. Given the sacrifices he made to make this fight happen, he certainly believed in his ability to compete with and beat Crawford.

It was a short half hook half jab but terrance stepped into it and so did brook,it was a perfrct shot that would have taken a lot of people out,nobody truly knows if brooks punch resistance is non existant its possible but people assume too quickly

Just writing off brook like he cant take a punch ,he never saw it coming and for all we know could be fit to fight again

Terrance is grtting better and better at finishing people but he gets no credit and you drag brooks name through the gutter

Should've never fought Crawford, everybody knew this was gonna happen. He would have had a better chance at 154

"Never in my career, nobody has ever done that to me in sparring or anything,"

Yeah Brook, Crawford is very special. He is the best!

For knocking out ( didn’t touch the canvas) a washed up fighter ?

Then before beating khan ? Oh yes he is so great.

Yup. Chad Dawson vs Ward 2.0. Plus kell was done after GGG, after the Spence fight he was on borrow time.
