The referee told promoter Eddie Heard straight after the fight was stopped all three judges had Brook in front on points so much was Brook's brave efforts against all the odds in the early rounds but alas you can't artificially pump up fighters to fight in higher divisions against supreme outstanding champions like Gennady Golovkin and expect them to win.”

I only saw a few highlights on SSN, but what was that fella with the towel doing at the end? My understanding is you hoy the thing in as quickly as possible, but he seemed to stand waving it in the air for ages without the ref, who must have had severe tunnel vision, seeing it. Brook had even dropped his guard so it could have been worse for him.
