    Khan looked uncomfortable on the ring walk because he must have known by that point his timing, reflexes and muscle memory were gone.

    There's no way he went through sparring thinking he still had it. His hand speed was there still, but his legs, his in and out movements, his combos, his snap, all gone. And he must have known it as well.

    Everyone knew Brook would have chinned Khan had they fought in 2014, I was surprised Brooks eye held out as well as it did. I thought first left hook it would explode.

    Brook looks like he still has something to offer, Khan doesn't.

    Brook looked confident because he knew the inevitable was going to happen. Khan looks nervous he knew the inevitable was just a few minutes away. This fight was already decided. It wont matter if they fight 1 or 10 times. Brooks makes that chin explode every time.

    I don't know anything about cupping or whatever methods Khan was using but I know a completely weak fighter when I see one. He had no strength, or punch resistance whatsoever far worse than even his reputation of a weak chin . He had virtually nothing to offer and Brook knew it and just went through him.

    Agreed, Brook my have one more good effort left at 154, this fight surely didn't take anything out of him

    I’ve used it several times for my shoulders and the marks are worst about 48 to 72 hours after treatment.
    Still a dumb idea as he might as well had a full rub down between rounds

    Kell is only one serious punch away from retiring himself to be honest. Khan is just way more shot than anyone could have imagined.

    When his legs started dancing in round one I knew he was in trouble.
    Glad I was so wrong on my pick of Khan winning VIA points:aaaaa:

    Khan couldn't defeat Kell and Bomac couldn't defeat Domingle. Dominigle also went undefeated at the press conference (yet again). It is what it is. Deal with it, deal with that, K?

    The pre-Good Boy'd aka the pre-shot prime Kell/Domingle winning combo would've whooped Bomac and Terry too. But Kell stupidly (not the first time Kell sabotaged his career by making terribly stupid decisions) decided to sever ties with Dominigle so not only was he shot to bits and dead at the weight, but he didn't have ''father figure,'' life coach and spiritual adviser and guru/elite trainer Domingle in his corner and he was a mere shadow of his former self with the punch resistance of a non-Brit Level toddler. But despite all of that, Kell was more than holding his own against Terry up until that point and it was bizarre to witness someone who was able to withstand horrific abuse at the thunderous hands of a closer to prime GGG who was the sport's most feared and ducked fighter and the most destructive puncher in the game end up going out from a nothing shot.

    The pre-Good Boy'd aka prime Kell/Domingle winning combo would've also whooped E-Spence too. Why Kell opted to drop back two divisions after spending months bulking up adding lean muscle to take on an undefeated touted prospect like E-Spence for his first fight back after having his eye socket smashed to bits by the sport's most feared puncher (a career MW) and after having undergone gruesome surgery to repair it I'll never know. I don't care how much he got paid or how overrated Spence was and still is it was one of the dumbest decisions a fighter has made in recent memory, right up there with Khan opting to fight a 190lb juiced to high heaven Clenelo.

    Even though Kell was damaged goods both physically and mentally and nowhere near his best for a whole host of different reasons after the GGG beating, surprisingly, he was actually ahead against E-Spence on most sane people's scorecards prior to the vicious billy goat butt hell in round 8 which I, Serge, deserve a lot of credit for spotting and exposing to the boxing world, which shattered his non-Good Boy'd eye socket.

    That butt completely changed the course of the fight and the balance totally shifted in E-Spence's favour after that which is totally understandable to anyone who is familiar with the psychological hell Kell went through after suffering the first eye injury. He had no idea if he would even be able to see out of his eye again let alone continue with his career and the surgeon who had informed him that one more punch in the GGG fight could've permanently blinded him was actually sitting ringside for the E-Spence fight and Kell even caught sight of him gesturing him to pull out via the shaking of his head upon said surgeon clocking the damage to his eye

    The pre-Good Boy'd Kell/Domingle combo who tamed a prime and much fresher and better Shawn Porter than the one who was robbed against E-Spence and was more than holding his own against Terry prior to Father Time catching up with Porter would've 100% beaten E-Spence and that's just FACTS talking.

    Kell threw his career down the pan with a series of monumentally terrible decisions :facepalm:

    And check this :facepalm::facepalm:

    That clown is clearly trolling. Everyone knows that a Welterweight is Gennady "The Tomato Can Devourer" Golovkin's biggest win to date.
