RUMOUR MILL: Is Kell Brook planning on coming in overweight?

Maybe, considering he fought his last fight at 160, and hasn't fought in 7-8 months since. But i honestly don't think he's going to miss weight. If it's a half a pound over, I don't see a big deal with that.

 

If Brook misses weight and wins, I say ok he obviously had an unfair advantage he should be fined and should move up to 154

 

He won't lose just muscle, this isn't anything remotely close to Roy Jones Jr' case. At the press conference he looked to be close to his weight, though I don't exactly know what he was weighing at that time.

 

Depends on how much he misses it by. If it's half a pound, sure it's unprofessional and deserving of criticism, but it's not a big deal. If he comes in three pounds overweight then he won't get a pass from me.

Same as any other fighter. If they honestly try to make weight and only come in slightly over, I am hesitant to criticize. If it's a unethical attempt to get an advantage, then I will be unhappy about that.

For another example, Liam Smith missed weight a few weeks ago, most people gave him a pass because it seemed like an honest mistake rather than trying to gain an unfair advantage.

 

Maybe half a pound would be acceptable. Either burn it, or turn it into more $$$ for spence Jr.

 

What Smith, Joe Smith?

 

Lol, I don't think spence would trip off half a pound. I think he'd gladly take a few extra $$$...

 

From his last fight?

 

I was very unhappy about the way that fight ended, but didn't care much about the weight issue. I saw a few mild criticisms before the fight, the forum only exploded after the fight in my recollection.
