I dont care what reporters or anyone says, I am okay with this fight. I prefer this over Golovkin-Eubank because I believe Brook has more of a chance of beating Golovkin than Eubank. I'm looking at brook's latest interviews, he looks very big. He is much bigger than Khan and Canelo fights heavier than Golovkin. This is nothing like Canelo-Khan. Brook actually stands a chance, Golovkin has been fighting bums, time for Golovkin to have a test in skill. I think GGG will win, but it will not be a 2 round job like everyone says. If GGG KO's him within 8 i'll come on here and admit I was wrong. People hating on GGG when eubank chickened out and golovkin had to fight soon and had no choice... smh
The only problem I have is that Brook despite what he walks round at has never fought or acclimated to middleweight,using MMA as an example you seen what happened when Mcgregor went up against Nate Diaz at 170lbs,Mcgregor being the more skillful guy did well in the first round but thereafter his power never translated up which is precisely what happened with Khan v Canelo so why would this be any different?
I agree, the weight will surely be an issue, I don't think Brook is a monster puncher anyway, a very solid one but not huge so how does he keep a Golovkin charge off him? Side note, are you watching UFC 200 tonight? I wouldn't call myself a UFC fan but for some reason I have an urge to watch this, I have a gut feeling something crazy will happen.
Not a good card , the main event was removed and they are left with Aldo vs Edgar as the only really good fight , unless you are into tiny woman fighting which is a good fight as well.
Well one huge difference is kell is going up 13lbs not 25lbs and mcgregor walks around at less than 170 ... kell wlks around heavier than 160, he'l have to come down to 60 so theres a difference there. Its true though there wont be much size difference but i agree will brook be used to the size and strength of a bigger man, he'l have to get some big sparring partners is n to hopefully get used to this.
Except Mcgregor is NOT the more skilled guy. He has striking....Thats about it. I agree with the weight though, when I saw how much he had to put on for that fight I knew he would be in for a rough go.
brook is helluva fighter. he's no amir khan but I want to see him against the likes of Garcia or Thurman not GGG. Anyway, he has ***** bigger than Canelo, Eubank , Saunders, Jacobs..., so that's that.
It's good in the fact that it will end in knockout and we all like to see knockouts. Brook is good yes, but he's only beaten one good fighter in Porter and that fight was close. He's been fighting nobodies since, and now he's going to go up 2 weight divisions to face the destroyer at MW.
Bad example man...Diaz is more skilled than Conner. He is a high level striker and a fairly elite grappler. Conner is flashier with spin kicks and is probably more athletic... but not skilled. Had Mendes wrestled instead of trying to brawl McGreggor, the Diaz fight would never have even come about. Khan vs Canelo is a better example, but either way, Brook has no chance here. Unlikely he can hurt GGG enough to stop the relentless pressure. If Brook is really tough, he lasts 6 rounds...probably no more.
This fight is ****. Eubanks was a decent challenge and a top middleweight. Brook while a top welterweight has almost zero chance. He's not Mayweather or Pacquiao level, who are the only welterweights I'd give a chance of beating a middleweight as good as GGG. You need a Hearns, Trinidad, Griffith, Napoles level welter to handle top middleweights. I've seen no signs that Brook is that good.
