    Are you dumb? Brook was hurt. He put his glove on the ropes for balance.

    He wasn't even close to being stopped from the 5th round onslaught itself . He was stopped because of the eye. The eye is why he took those punches. The eye is why he was struggling to throw back. Brook legit looked like he took those shots like he was egging GGG on to keep it coming in the hope of him gassing and lets be honest GGG was already looking like he was struggling with the pace he was trying to set.

    he is dumb and a mongo, brook took 36 punches to 5 in the 5th round and ggg was landing at will, he was on the ropes trying to dodge shots but was eating plenty and ggg was cutting off the ring so well he couldnt monve

    if the corner didnt throw in the towel the ref would have jumped in any minute from the number of unanswered punches brook was taken

    I can't even type with a broken eye socket much less stand and get hit by a professional boxer, so yeah, good stoppage.

    Regardless, Brook showed a great set of whiskers. He took numerous clean shots in the last round and was still compos mentis. No way anyone at Welter was knocking him out

    Boxers with Broken Orbitals:
    De La Hoya vs Steve Forbes
    Margarito vs Pacquiao
    Malignaggi vs Cotto
    Shannon Briggs vs Vitali Klitschko
    Alfredo Angulo vs Erislandy Lara
    Lucas Matthysse vs Viktor Postol
    Orlando Salido vs Mikey Garcia
    Hisashi Amagasa vs Guillermo Rigondeaux
    George Chuvalo vs Joe Frazier
    Don't remember the corner waving off the fight in any of those.

    I don't remember seeing these fighters traped on the rope eating flush shots for more than a minute without opposition either.

    Btw, I saw a Chuvalo story where he said the night he fought (for the 2nd time I think) Ali, Ali had to go straight to the hospital after the fought, while he went home and had sex with his wife. Not relevant, just thought it was funny.

    It appears you've got a little macular degeneration yourself Blackclouds. Brook was eating shots and they were unanswered for the better part of a minute with the exception of the one flurry Brook attempted, granted he was slipping a lot of GGG's shots, but things were going south in a big way.

    That stoppage was perfect Ingle saved Brooks career. On the other hand what about the courage of Antonio Margarito ?? He went nine rounds with Pacquaio with exactly the same damage. He paid dearly for his bravery. I'd love to know what Tony's opinion of Canelo is

    LOL his hands were down, he was taking multiple shots, pawing at his eye, getting on his bike, and not returning shots. "Not hurt" besides his broken ****ing face being a handful of punches away from blindness. Yep, not hurt at all.

    You're right. Mattysse didn't give his corner a chance.
