Golovkin-Brook is an underrated fight

i really cant see this potential to outbox him that you speak of.

 

I agree.

I don't get why this is such a terrible fight, but Golovkin v Canelo is the dream fight in boxing at the moment, because I would pick Brook over Canelo at any weight.

 

If Brook can handle the size of Golovkin, then I'd say Brook is more fundamentally sound than GGG.

 

No it isn't.
I read so many evaluations that say Brook is going/having the potential to outbox Golovkin, but he hardly could outbox a crude fighter like Porter when he came at him, let alone someone like Golovkin. If anything GGG is a better technical fighter as Brook, in addation to all other advantages.

Brook won't stand a chance in hell

 

You'd be the only person in the world.

 

Brook handled Porter fairly easily. It wasn't close enough to have been a majority decision.

That said, GGG via KO. :bbb

 

I am not liking Brook's approach to this at all. He seems to be going out of his way to put on tons of weight, which does NOT bode well. His body won't be used to competing at this level at that weight. When this matchup was first announced I was thinking that we could potentially see the best Kell Brook we have ever seen. Now it doesn't look like we will get that, but you never know until fight night.

Brook could very well be the best WW in the world right now. I don't think he is, but I'm not too familiar with him. He is definitely a big WW and it isn't like GGG is a big MW so the weight won't be an issue. Actually, right now Brook weighs more than GGG but Brook seems to have just gotten fat lmao.

 

The bookies have this has Golovkin's closest fight ever.

Which is astonishing to me.

 

Do the US bookies have it that way as well? Because with the British ones it's to be expected.

 

Really? Now that is interesting. I asked a similar question in some other thread earlier. Thanks for this information.

 

brook opened as a 7 to 1 dog vs golovkin. if this is the tightest odds golovkin has seen, then the oddsmakers must already think golovkin is levels above anyone who can challenge him.

 

That's a fair point, unfortunately I don't know much about Golovkin's history with US bookies. I mostly follow British ones.

Right now, it looks like Vegas seems to have the Brook-Golovkin fight at pretty similar odds, but it is a tad wider than under British bookies.

 

odds for canelo vs ggg are at about 3.5 to one in ggg's favor, so basically, they see brook as having half the chances of winning that canelo has.

 

We'll see come fight night. There's always that possibility.
