Not really interested in this fight anymore, should have happened years ago. I still expect Brook to KO him though if it does happen.
I had/have no interest in this especially at 147. Brook looked done anyway, never mind weight draining himself to fight Khan. I like how Brook has took himself off and got a new trainer, looks in great shape and looks like he’s got the desire back. Was pleasing to hear him mention a multitude of names who fancies facing whereas in the past I thought it was the Khan fight and done. He’s got the hunger back and that doesn’t bode well for Amir.
Assume the trainer switch is to save some money and maximise his earnings from his last few fights...
Khan starts lightening fast, probably wins the first two maybe even first three rounds, by then Brook has the timing down and lands a right hand and then it's game over. Brook punches hard enough to stop Khan, Khan hasn't got enough resistance left in him to survive. Khan will try and spin it like he was "dominating" and got caught with a "lucky punch", pretty much like he did with Garcia and Canelo.
Brook but brook with a re-hydration clause worries me. I just feel the later a fight goes the worse it is for him. Without this I would say Brook easily. With it I do give Khan a chance.
Tbf a change of trainer at this point in his career may be the best thing that can happen for Kell. Take away the fact that what he was paying his trainer £, will of been part of his decision making process, things can go stale sometimes when you spend a long time with 1 trainer. Maybe this is exactly what Kell needs to revitalise his career
The weight is the only reason Khan has a chance. He's been decked by non punchers and was in a bad way more than once V Sammy Vargas. Heart of lion chin of glass. I know people point to him standing up (just) to Maidana but that's an anomaly over his career. As long as Brook has gas in the tank he lands a right hand and finishes Khan off. If the weight leaves him drained Khans speed might be enough to keep him gun shy or off his game. Brook would start favorite but after Khans last performance i'm surprised he doesn't call it a day.
