    Last time i watched Horn i am pretty sure he moved up from 147 to 160LB !!!!

    Decent fight imo and would not surprise me if its the end for Brook....Such a shame ,5 years ago he was THE man in the hottest division in boxing until bad luck/judgement and the Matchroom sh1thousery have ruined his career

    Brook should only fight at 154ib from now on, He's done at 147ib, he was fighting at that weight 15 years ago !

    I think Horn grinds down and already partially ground down Brook. He looked like dogs hit in his last fight and anyone other than Amir 'please anyone other than Kell' Khan must be up for fighting at this point. Decent payday, decent name, doesn't look like he has a lot left.

    At least Kell Brook has all his faculties intact - he sounded thick as 2 planks with his Eh Day voice from day one.

    50/50 fight

    Horn could aggressively bully him into retirement , or Brook could have enough skills left to hang on for a points win.

    I think Brook should take the Jessie Vargas fight, that's an easier fight for him and Vargas is arguably a bigger name.

    Horn be easier to hit than Vargas brook beat both for me. At 154 he be too much for horn. Crawford showed how easy it is to hit horn and traps and brook is a very good boxing brain compared to horn at somewhere close to his best.

    Brook was never THE man at 147. He was A man with a very good win

    Sorry to chime in again with Crawford but he makes it look easy against anyone. My point is, I don’t think we should/can judge Horn from that fight. Brook would not be able to do what Crawford did to him, I think Brook would end up in a war with Horn and I think he could get outboxed at this stage of his career. His timing isn’t what it was and I think he knows it. He’s looking for a cashout and I don’t blame him but he’s in no man’s land.

    I don't get why Brook gets so many negative comments on here. His only defeats are against top P4P fighters in the world. I agree his last performance was poor but that doesn't mean he has turned into a bad fighter overnight. The only issue I do have with Brook is his size as 147lbs is a struggle and 154lbs is too big.
    Personally I think he still beats both Horn and Vargas which should get him in a position for a world title shot.

    The Kell Brook that stood toe to toe with GGG, beats the **** out of Jeff Horn. Kell lost his next fight after GGG. That's to be expected. He hadn't recovered. History is full of fighters beaten by lesser fighters after a hard WT fight.

    He has had 2 fights in 18 months since. Won both. Had plenty of time to recover. My money is on Brook.

    Horn was undiscovered. Now he is exposed. Brook KOs Horn by 7.

    Where to start?

    He sold himself out against GGG and suffered a bad injury as a result. He has wasted his career chasing a Khan fight instead of all the champions he claimed to want to fight too; the move to 154 appears to have been a particular waste of time. Post Porter, I was excited about his future but he just did nothing. He defended against one guy that was worth a damn and ended up taking a knee in front of his home crowd.

    Horn is more than beatable, he's not hard to hit, he's a tough guy though.

    Horn has a legit frame for 154, tough and awkward style.
    I'd fancy him to grind Brook to a decision even in the UK.
