Anyone else concerned that Brook has lost the weight too fast?

    He's well on schedule to make weight comfortably. It shouldn't be a problem as he didn't bulk up dramatically for his last fight at middle, and there are fighters whose weight fluctuates by more between fights even when they aren't moving up and down divisions.

    Of course you never know exactly what toll it will take on Brook's body, but I think there's a bigger risk of lingering physical and psychological damage from the Golovkin fight than the weight being an issue. I'd be more concerned about how Brook reacts to surgery and his first loss, rather than how his body reacts to gaining and losing a few pounds.

    Personally I think Brook will come to the fight in top shape. He knows this is a career defining fight which he has to win to become a legitimate mainstream star.

    Brook is looking in great shape. He has a really good camp behind him that's for sure

    Kell looks in fantastic shape in that pic. Fit and more importantly healthy looking.

    I'm sure he'll look a lot drier and more drawn at the weigh in, but he has in the past and still performed.
