    Didn't look great yesterday to me, his body frame looked to be a bit skinny and his face gave me the impression that he didn't look too well. If true it could maybe shorten Brooks odds of winning but even a 70% GGG should still beat Brook right?...

    Eddie Hearn also mentioned this. Could we have an upset here?
    Is he over looking Kell?

    Yes he looked grey-skinned and callow in the face. I also noticed he wasn't smiling much at the press conference, and we know how GGG like to flash those pearly whites at every given opportunity. It can't be making weight because he was only a few pounds over 160 10 days ago. It's possible he's having jet lag issues, and arriving just one week before the bout was a mistake and hints at complacency. The weigh-in today should tell us more.

    Golovkin looked awful yesterday, grey skinned, and very drawn, typical signs of dehydration.

    Having said all that, he looked fine at the scales today, maybe everybody is looking/hoping to see a weakness ?

    He looks alright to me. Might be a bit of truth in the rumours but think it's mostly Hearn making mischief, hyping the upset.

    The fact that he looked drained just shows he's genuinely a bigger man than Brook by a real margin.
    I thought he looked really skinny at the weigh in too.
    In the ring tomorrow night he'll be big again.

    Brook isn't even the best 147 pounder,they talk about ,"who has GGG fought"? Who has Brook fought?
    This will be an early night , but I applaud Brook for stepping up to the plate in contrast to Canelo!

    His arms looked like twigs compared to Brook's but his bone structure is much thicker, where have these rumours of him having a virus come from?

    I don't think there looks to be anything physically wrong with him. He just seemed off. Not smiling, not giving interviews, his body language just made it seem like he isn't 100%. But for a man with nearly 400 fights amateur and pro, I doubt he has 'fear in his eyes' as Brook is alluding to.

    For Christ sake can't anyone see through this?

    If you were promoting an embarrassing mismatch wouldn't you want to make the public think it was a fairer fight?

    We'll see where Sky's hot air and bluster is at when Golovkin ruthlessly beats Brook down.
