GGG was far too tough for Brook

    What are you saying then? Brook's eye was damaged in the 3rd round at the latest. His team threw in the towel in the 5th. If you let him continue fighting with a fractured eye socket then you are essentially letting him get hit in a broken eye. Each powerful left hook from Golovkin is doing more and more damage to an already damaged eye socket.

    Just watched the replay again, Brook was taking a lot of punishment,

    He looked back to his corner after he saw the towel and Ingle pointed at the eyesocket

    Yes the eye was damage we all get that. But what you and other knuckleheads don't get that in boxing is a very tough risky sport. What you and others keep ignoring that past fighters have fought through badly career injuries that was almost ended their careers in doing their fights which most of the times I didn't see past trainers like what I saw last Saturday threw in a towel while his fighter wasn't close of being soo badly in trouble smh. If the fight continue, would brook eyes look alot worse? Likely but we'll never know. If the trainer was very concern soo badly for his favor safety? Then he shouldn't let brook sign the contract in the first place. I feel sorry for the fans that was in the arena buying alot of money to watch a terrible stoppage.

    Yes, GGG broke his face, Brook was clearly bothered by the eye socket fracture from rd 2 and tried to fight like a boxer who knows the only chance to win from there is by early knockout, when his coach was waving the towel he was already on the way to being knocked down after several unanswered punches, he would have gone down without the stoppage, by the way, did Kell complain about the stoppage?
    Still, Kells did a great job, he was annoying GGG, and landed big shots. Credit where credit is due. GGG is the real deal.

    Listen, simpleton, Brook could have been killed if the fight continued. You compare a broken bone in your skull with a torne muscle or a broken hand? How ret@rded are you, seriously?

    perhaps someone sould break your eye socket and see if you think it warrants you stopping to go to A+E.

    By tough you mean big. Brook was clearly the smaller man.

    hes not ret@rded. Hes simply had a bone broken in his skull and then didn't go to A+E. Such thickness is the outcome of this terrible life decision.

    ah but wat came first? the thickness or the broken skull?

    That's because GGG didn't open much against Lemieux who could one shot GGG. GGG didn't try to feel Lemieux's power. He boxed in a shell. Plus, before the stoppage, I thought Lemieux was coming back in the fight, being more and more confident. Against Brook, GGG just steamroll him.

    Good god rayhogan are you being deliberately think or can you not see the sense in what Ingle did?

    GG broke Brooks eye socket in round 2. They carried on another 3 rounds whilst the damage to the area got worse and started to affect Kells sight to the point where he had treble vision.

    The trainer took the only sensible decision. He owes nothing to the crowd, and everything to the duty of care to his fighter.

    That is exactly how I see it. Brook won one round. Yes he connected few punches, but so did GGG, in bigger numbers, and with bigger punches. I don't know what fight did people watch! It was a domination! The action had to stop by the 5th in a eye (life) threatening fracture and somehow GGG was "exposed". GGG walked thru Brook's punches like they were spiderwebs: annoying, but not threatning.
