    I saw this coming Dob. He was more defensive than anything. That's a sign that a fighter struggled to make weight. I didn't think that he would be the Brook against Porter. That's how Jones fought Johnson. Had some good moments, then became defensive. Jones going to HVW killed him. Brook going to MW killed him. Brook probably should've stayed at 154 and say **** the WW title.

    I was perfectly fine with the stoppage. The vast majority of fighters would've either been sparked out if they ate that many clean flush power punches in succession from a heavy handed guy like Groves or if not they would've hit the canvas or been wobbling around the ring like a drunken one-legged Russian sailor on an inflatable castle. Chudinov is crazy tough.

    I've always like Groves but he used to rub me up the wrong way sometimes. Lots of people have that effect on me though.

    Yes I'd like to see a third encounter between Groves and DeGale too.

    It was definitely a factor but is he going to body punch every welterweight to death? Doubt it

    He'll be fine.

    A payday vs Khan, then after that, onto a soft titlist like Hurd at 154.

    No sense boiling down and losing strength and stamina at his age, and the paydays are N vs the non-Haymon fighters anyway.
    Liam Smith....Brook KO 5.
    Liam Williams.....Brook KO 7-8
    BJS....Brook by decision
    Lara.....Brook KO
    Mellow....Brook KO
    Andrade....Brook KO

    I mean....154 is so, sooooooo f/n weak without Mallow, unless Lubin swoops in a starts snatching titles, Brooks got plenty of options, including domestic ones.

    And Khan will need him if he wants a 2-3 mil payday as well.

    154 weak?

    I thought it was one of the more competitive weight classes. Some good fights to be made in that weight, they just aren't the biggest names

    Charlo, Lara, Andrade, Cotto (think is fighting for WBO title), Liam Smith and Williams - Not exactly weak

    At that point, Margarto was nobody's punching bag and had bricks in his gloves on top of it. You fail. Thanks for playing.
