    Odds about right - Brooks good and there still pretty wide.

    He's classes above Eubank, but a WW.

    Imo Brook is a better, more skilled fighter than Eubank Jr. He is also probably faster and might even hit as hard or harder at 160.

    Because it's not as big a mismatch as this forum and some of the media will lead you to believe...

    I like brook and there is no way i'm letting that cloud my judgement on this fight but...

    I honestly feel come september 10th, don't be surprised if a few people win a lot of money for brook to win. Brook is a world champ and undefeated it would VERY stupid to put him as a 12/1. Golovkin gets hit ALOT but has a sturdy chin but he has never been in with someone with Brook's power. We saw how effective brook can be with counter punches. Eubank was obviously higher odds due to the fact he lost to BJS and his last fight was at british level..

    Put everything into perspective guys, Golovkin is a huge favourite but I'm honestly preparing myself for a shock and not the obvious like others on here.

    Because enough UK guys are willing to bet on their own man.

    As the fight gets closer and particulary on fight night the odds will get even closet, they always do. Easy money on Golovkin really

    You would think easy money on GGG but that line is clouding my judgement now. I wouldnt be shocked if Brook pulled it off now.
