Already ordered fight a few days ago. Really looking forward to it. If you believe kell he's stronger than GGG, more powerful and apparently such a strong chin that even heavyweights who he's sparred with couldn't knock him out. How can he possibly lose? I guess we'll see if that's all true.

Yeah, Brook looked good, potential to bulk up even more! GGG was very relaxed, not sure I agree he looks a bit off though!
Looks skinny to me. I dunno he just didn't look the usual smiley guy. Rumours are his ill and yesterday and today make me think his not 100%

Agree on both. His arms looked slightly lean but that was compared to Brook. If anything GGG looked bored.

Eddie Hearn/Sky are doing a great job of making out that Brook has a chance. He doesn't.

Golovkin does his business in the ring. He doesn't need to beat his chest and shout to prove a point. He isn't that type of boxer.

GGG TKO.
All boxers have a chance but again I mostly agree. And the nonchalant way GGG shook Brook's hand after the stare suggested business as usual.

So do you think GGG is scared like kell said? To be honest I didn't anything to suggest that.

I think it should be a good fight, although Golovkin is the fave i fancy Brook to upset him. I don't think hes unstoppable as made out to be.

He is good. Eloquent and knows what he is talking about, which is more than can be said for any other boxing pundit who all play to the same agenda.

I hope Malignaggi says GGG is going to spark Brook out just to see all their faces.

He is no different to many other pundits. Brings nothing special and no point bringing him over.

Pauli would have a job on sky full time if he wanted it. He doesn't wanna give up his job with Showtime though.

Pauli is a good analysis guy though. Not sure why anybody would rather he not be employed by sky for the big fights.

I don't think I said anything to suggest that either? To be clear, I think GGG sees Brook as just another fight.

I think it should be a good fight, although Golovkin is the fave i fancy Brook to upset him. I don't think hes unstoppable as made out to be.
He isn't. He has some great attributes but is actually quite hittable. Problem is though he takes a whack and hits back harder.

This video says it all about GGG's ability to take and give a punch, especially the moment at 6.38.

When I watched that fight about two years ago it convinced me that GGG was special. Something I guess most of his previous opponents already knew

I want Brook to win and have laid money on it despite the odds not being as good as I expected. I don't think I have a snowballs chance in a sauna of seeing a penny back. Brook probably believes he can win, but Hearn sees this as a stepping stone to a mega fight at middleweight for Brook v Khan provided Kell can last at least as long as Amir did against Alavrez.

Nah the khan fight would never be at middleweight. I think khan would only fight kell at 147. Kell and eddie would have to get it at catch-weight so 152 as there is no way kell is boiling down to 147 again.

I think the fight has probably gone to be honest. Fight should have happened last summer. Khan went on stupid and now it's gone.

More chance seeing kell fight Liam Smith at jnr middleweight. They have been sparring recently and I saw an interview with Johnny Nelson recently who hinted kell showed Liam Smith he was on a different level.

For the first time in my life I have had a bet on a fight - Brook to win at 9/2. Only a tenner but I think he can cause an upset.
