    Brook will make weight. Not very not convinced it will be done correctly though.

    Brook has 5 rounds to get the fight won.

    Good catch, went in one ear and out of the other when I was watching it.


    People are just wording their posts lazily. It's not so much whether he'll hit the number on the scale, moreso what he leaves there when he does. Deliberately missing weight would actually be a beneficial thing for Brook in the fight, even if he forfeited a few hundred grand for it.

    The 149 weight limit was a clue Khan is struggling to make Welterweight. Those 2 extra pounds will be precious for Kell.

    Will be pointless if there's a rehydration clause in place though.......

    ....which is what Brook alluded to not being allowed to talk about I am guessing

    149 has nothing to do with Khan, Khan can make 147 quite easily, Brook can't...149 was the lowest Brook would negotiate to which is why he cried about it in the face off.

    Khan looks very lean and skinny right now. He will make 147 extremely well whilst Brook is going to cut a lot of water and die on the scale.

    You can hate all you want, but you can't deny that Khan is rarely(if ever) in boring fights.

    I might have been mistaken on this point, if recent reports hold any water.

    Could be haggling for step aside money.
