Brooks biggest mistake last night was that he did not consistently

    I agree 100%
    I too think Kell did everything he can to win, but he didn't do himself any favours by bulking up
    At least he gave us a good scrap

    GGG puts on a front of not being affected when he is hit by good shots and fighters go for that and start backing up. That's when GGG is at his most dangerous, when he has you backing up. Brook should have stayed right there in his face and backed him up. Yeah, and he should have been digging in that body with the intent to break something. Half of GGG's fight game is psychological and the thing to do is to destroy that myth that he can't be hurt. I saw Kell get off some bruising combos and then let GGG come forward. If he was gonna lose that fight. He should have lost it in the middle of the ring and not on the ropes.

    Brooks fought well. He is just not acclimated to anything above 147.

    GGG hurt Brook to the head and body within the first round IIRC. That must have shook Kell's confidence.
