In case anyone was wondering how boxing careers can be manufactured, look at the champs that will be on his record though: Saunders [some think he won] Degale Abraham Korobov Brook Who cares about the details!
Horrible fight if it happens. Kell, yet again putting it on the line against a bigger foe. Eubank has better fights out there.
Strange strange fight. Brings name value but surely a hard sell otherwise. Although the sport seems to be ruled by marketing these days. Eubank easily beat Williams but at times looked really poor doing it. Brook took some punches from Khan and didn't budge but Eubank hits far harder than Amir. I was really hoping Eubank would try and get in with GGG/Murata winner and finally test himself. He seems content with warm ups and has been while never really going for it. Which is strange he's lost twice already. Unless he's waiting around for a soft touch champion for a major belt.
It's a good pay day for less risk....The name is meaningless as Brook is shot to bits. It's like Calzaghe beating RJJ - no one thinks it's a brilliant win. Context matters. Euabank looks to gaming his way around the boxing world. The Williams fight was a good one for him and he won handily - build on that. Beating a shop worn, undersized Brook tells us nothing. Even in his prime Brook would have it hard the size difference is pretty big. The only positive I can find at that is it's another fight under Roy and it might smooth his style out (i doubt it).
I think it's a coin toss to beat Spence but for me the GGG fight took years of his career. Despite Khan's hubris and arrogance Brook was always the more rounded fighter and wasn't anywhere near as vulnerable.
Sadly, Eubank will stop Brook, after getting out-boxed for a few rounds. The smashed glass active ex-boxer Amir Khan, who cupped his skin better than his gloves, made Kell look rejuvenated, when in fact he's a fragile meme of his former self. Never hoped I'm wrong about anything as I hope I'm wrong about this...
You're completely correct though, there's basically no way that Brook wins this one barring some freak injury or something.
This is a terrible match up for Brook. He should go out on a high after the Khan fight or fight Danny Garcia. He's just going to get beat up here.
I'm a big Brook fan But this is a ridiculous fight and one i doubt he can win Junior really does not deserve Brooks name on his record
I would have liked kell to call it a day.. But hey, it's on terrestrial tv, so well done to C5 and kalle for gurning it on. Sorry, I mean getting it on!
