    Brook knocks out Khan mid - late rounds. This fight is still interesting as the build up will be huge. Yes both fighters are past their best but Brook has more power and better chin. I also think Khan's heart isn't in it anymore as he blatently quit last night. You could hear in the corner before the 6th round the team was telling Khan not to give up.
    As far as Brook is concerned I don't think he is a quitter. The GGG fight he kept on going even with a broken eye socket until his corner threw in the towel. Yes he quit against Spence, but you really can't blame him for that as his other eye socket was broken and he knew potentially he risked being blinded. All the people saying he is a quitter would have done exactly the same.
    I still want to see this fight just so Khan can be shut up once and for all.

    Not interested in this at all now, years too late, both past it and I'm a fan of Kell.

    Past its sell by date obviously, but either would be extremely stupid to avoid the payday. Both have nowhere else to go. They're very lucky to still have this payday on the table.

    First six rounds the fight is there for Brook to win. If he can land on the button, Khan will go down as we know, and once there's time left in the round, he should take Khan out.

    If Khan survives the first six, Brook will likely gas badly due to the weight cut. Then I think Amir should win handily.

    It's all about those first six rounds for me, and whether or not Brook catches him.

    Brook was thinking of his eyesight. and be able to see in the future

    Khan quit because of a punch to the leg, when he had 5 minutes to recover and was wearing a protector. He basically quit because he has no heart and knew he was gonna get KO'd.

    Khan is the biggest ****ing quitting coward by far out of the two of them

    I saw an interview with Kell when he was at the fight on Saturday and gotta say I was pleased to see him say he wants to fight Crawford or any of the other champs ahead of khan.

    I hope he really means it. As for a fight vs khan. Even at 147 I gotta favour brook!

    Looks like the one thing khan had (speed) has now gone. He normally looks real quick early but on Saturday it wasn't there at all. Cant see how brook doesn't tag him and when he does he will hurt Amir.

    Khan has already quit by running from Kell and taking fights for good money but in which he knows he has no chance of winning (Canelo, Crawford). If Amir had gone out on his shield on Saturday he may have still had a chance of a big money fight with Pac in a stadium but he's probably ****ed that up now.

    If the fight ever happens it's 50/50 for me. Kell can still punch and Amir has those glass whiskers but does Brook still have the timing and skill to actually land enough ??

    Might have just moved a step closer. Massive upset in America. Hurd dropped and then lost on points to Julian Williams (a pbc fighter).

    This or Brook vs Smith next?

    I don’t think Brook had any intention of fighting Hurd, which is a good thing as this version of Kell would have been beaten very badly.

    I’m hoping the Crawford fight comes off for Kell- he will lose but he won’t be too viciously destroyed.

    As for Khan, I’m hoping that when he sees the figures on his offer from Hearn reduce, this will help him make the right decision to retire.

    He is completely gone, his balance is all over the place, hand speed slowing down and his once unreliable chin has now completely left him. The Brook fight would be a disaster... For Khan, Sky and everybody involved.

    I’ve decided I actually do now. Let’s be honest it’s pretty much a 50/50 still. The only grievance is that yes they are past their best and that they will still expect PPV for it.

    Shyte fight most fans have left either stable it ain't a ppv fight
    Ones shot to bits and quit in his last fight looking for a way out and the other is injury prone making 147 especially with rehydration clauses arguing who deserves the bigger slice rah rah rah
    Ain't interested its in the bin with wicky witter
    Khan Murray
    Calzaghe froch
    Anyone saying others wise is as deluded as Khan in afraid
    Move on people
    It is no longer value for any ones money it's gone
    It's over man it's over
