    The only people who got played were gullible boxing fans lol. Both Brook and Khan laughed all the way to the bank.

    I'd picked Khan because I thought Brook's timing had left him and without that I thought Khan could buzz around him winnning rounds whilst waiting for the weight draining process to catch up with him. I was wrong, fair play to all those who picked Brook because it was comprehensively his night.

    Both are shot though. That meant they could give us an entertaining watch, but the writing has been on the wall for both guys for some time now. It would be a mistake for Brook to take this performance against a ghost of the fighter that was Amir Khan as a signal to get back in the ring with a top level fighter.

    Khan had the opportunity to prove you right but never wanted the fight until this weekend.

    He's been firmly the A side his entire career and could have fought Kell whenever he wanted.

    Both are shot to bits and have been a long time. But Kell is the much naturally bigger man and heavier hitter.
    Amir was swimming against the tide from the get-go because the bigger man's shots were hurting him a lot more than his were hurting them and he couldn't gain his respect with anything to dissuade him from walking him down. He was boxing in panicky mode after getting hurt so early into the fight and never looked comfortable or relaxed in there.

    I was saying it for years;

    Khan will exhaust and maximise every payday and then fight Brook because there would be nowhere else to go and that the Brook fight would always have been the very last or close to last fights for Khan.

    Khan did it his own way, even if he never got then and congratulations to Brook for getting the closure he so badly needed.

    All the above are true though. It's just Khan had zero bullets left and came into a shootout with no gun.

    It was literally the case that the first one to land a hard, meaningful and significant punch would have turned all the momentum in their favour.

    While you’re right Khan was totally shot, he still showed his Balls of steel, what a warrior

    Both just as shot as each other, khan has slowed down which allows him to eat more leather, which is not good for a guy with low punch resistance to begin with.

    They’re both shot but Khan is beyond shot. Sloppy as hell and didn’t even have the speed. At least Brook still has his timing and power.

    Roach days Khan would have stopped this Brooks and would have been a 50/50 prime for prime.

    Khan still underrated here. His performance vs Collazo, malignagi, alexander, judah was damm impressive.

    They're both over the hill.

    Prime for prime, Khan would have been faster and Brook would have been tougher.
