    the blueprint to beating now seems to be go for the eyes, and now most fighters know he's vulnerable there - thats going to be there target.

    khan has gone on record in the past and said that will be his target

    I think the better fights for Brook might have been somewhere between Frankie Gavin and Gennady Golovkin.

    I thought his eyes couldn't be damaged the same now because of the metal plates? Either way I don't think Brook is getting his soul back from Golovkin.

    I believe that GGG actually damaged Brook's entire face and was partially responsible for the other eye that went against Spence. Too much of a coincidence for me.

    Suicidal move all round. Thank God Ingle pulled him out.

    either Hearn is heartless or he must feel really bad for chucking Brook in with Golovkin.

    Khan will be done in a year too. I don't know why Brook has continued to to chase a fight with that ducking clown who has used the biggest list of excuses ever. Theres always been other good paying fights Brook could have had.. if I was Brook I would've stopped wasting time saying Khans name completely a long time ago he's clearly terrified of the shame of the chocolate brownie KO it'll never happen.

    Maybe two fights. One while he waits for Khan. Sad state of affairs, but putting him in against GGG was suicidal. Now he’s got two muffed up eye sockets. Can see Khan v Brook being Khans last hurrah as well.

    If one of them could get a world title it might bring some hype back to the fight but that's not gonna happen they are gonna be matched really easy

    No one forced Brook to fight Golovkin, in fact, no one in their right mind would even entertain the idea. Kell wanted it. It was all about one upping Khan in some crazy ego fuelled delusion. He's a fking idiot for stepping into that ring and he only has himself to blame. No use crying about big bad Eddie Hearn.

    Brook is looking and sounding like a mentally beaten man

    One way to see yourself to another loss, forget all the physical side of fighting you've got to have it up top and brook sounds like he's losing it up top

    Khan is stale.Think Brooke has by far the better chin.Will grind Kahn down and top him late.

    I heard Paulie say on his podcast that an orbital bone break means that the other side also becomes more fragile, he compared it to when someone breaks a hip the other side is weakened as well.

    Don't be surprised if Brook loses this fight and retires. He has a glass heart.
