    Good preview but I'm one of the few people who think this is a legit close fight or atleast closer than people give it credit. Brook has tremendous ring IQ and a good stiff jab that will give GGG problems in cutting the ring off. My prediction is GGG on points.

    As a fan of Brook's I'm not thrilled with this fight, since Brook's getting KTFO, but like you said no one will be shocked and his career, barring a career altering brutal beating, can resume at 147, but most likely at 154, I doubt he'll be able to get back down to 147 successfully. That being said I like this for GGG business wise, its going to put him on the map in the UK, and add in Liam Smith possibly being KO'd by Canelo, it'll make the GGG-Canelo match far more profitable in the UK as it is in the US. And potential fights against CEJ and BJS, far more interesting and appetizing to the Brit fans in the long run.

    what in particular does brook do, or has done, that demonstrates a higher than average ring iq?

    gstring should really be embarrassed skipping three weight divisions down to fight little kell. The only justification would be he wants exposure into the british market. but if thats the case froch said he would do a catch weight close to his 160 but gstring refused that. So thats two old retired mw he has retreated from froch and hopkins with big names that would look good on his resume.

    gstring is really pathetic. and this fight is pathetic.

    1) The fight was offered to Eubank Jr, who pulled out and then Hearn offered Brook. K2 didn't have a list of the 147 division in front of them and decide to seek Brook out

    2) Froch never offered anything under 168, in fact as I understand the only formal offer from Froch's side was at 172

    3) Welterweight is not 3 divisions down from Middleweight.

    I don't like the fight at all for the record

    Brook is so easy to hit if you ask me, no idea what Kid Galahad is on saying Brook is hardest to hit in uk alongside Fury, erm not by any stretch is brook hard to hit he gets tagged by everyone which is not good news vs ggg.

    This is just Brooks way of cashing in and not losing face like Khan.
    Don't be shocked after Brook loses if he doesn't fight Thurman porter again or spence or anyone with a pulse.
    He will probably chase the khan fight "we both stepped up and lost bravely lets fight to see who is the king of the losers" blah blah blah all very predictable

    shocking video...it was more about you than GGG or BROOK....u said no one in the MW division stands a chance then u said Kell hasn't got a chance...well ill tell u something, no one stands a chance not even super middies... Matchroom have said this fight is bigger than Frochs last 2 fights and the biggest thing they're family business has done....you over thought the tito,oscar,hopkins,joppy scenario ....i expect another video after the weigh in
    p.s lift your game

    :lol:

    Unfortunately, I don't have as much time the next two months, and I haven't had much song motivation. Maybe that will change after Sept 10! :good

    Thanks.

    I think you view Brook's skills and IQ more favorably than I do, but I hope you're closer to the mark, as I'd love to see this turn into an interesting fight.
