    imo fair odds on this fight would be 1/20 Golovkin and 16/1 Brook

    Brook has come in to 5/1 or shorter across the board. People are waking up to the fact Kell is very, very special.

    And the new....

    GGG isnt the best p4p or even the hardest puncher.

    People like you are the reason why he gets so much hate.

    Canelhoe jockeyed khan for five rounds lets have in right
    Oscar told canelhoe to go was and not brutalize khan finish it without to much punishment
    Canelhoe could have ended Tha fight at any point he chose to

    Brook as no such protection he is getting brutalized for a fifth of what khan got that's b a l l s

    It's what I call "mug punters" who would take the 9/2 Brook. Brooks odds should be double that.

    It's mind games played by bookmakers, it's the optic of the actual book.

    They open the market shorter than it should be because if the casual gambler saw 10/1 Brook they would probably think "He has no chance" but they see 5/1 or 4/1 and they think "Brook isn't the outsider some believe, they must have had big money for Brook and shortened the odds" and are willing to have the odd £10 or £20 and it all adds up.

    It's just psychology sometimes, people who gamble like to believe they know something others don't, they see something others don't, they read in to things that most of the time are not even there so if bookmakers make it look slightly more competitive than it is on the odds they are likely to take more money.

    I give brook more of a chance than I gave khan against canelo. But it's a tough ask I can't see nothing more than a GGG knockout
