    Do you think Eddie would let him? EH didn't even want Brook fighting Spence at 147, how's he going to let him fight Khan at 147 when he's promoting both fighters and when Khan doesn't even have a 147 lb title? EH knows that Brook is at his best at 154, I just don't see how he'll let Khan drain Brook to a catchweight or to 147. It makes no sense, Brook's a Silver Title holder at 154, and Khan is fighting Lo Greco north of 147 Lo Greco being a natural 154-lb fighter.

    I think Brook said recently he’d go back down to 47 to fight Khan? Brook wants that paycheque and it’s an easy fight for him I think. Easy money for
    Brook so would be worth going back down I think. I’m not even convinced Khan beats Lo Greco. He should do easy but one punch on the button and it’s career over for Khan.

    I didn’t realise Khan-Le Greco is at a catchweight?

    I'm not convinced Khan beats Lo Greco either, I'd favor Khan to win though, especially if Lo Greco is struggling to make the catchweight. Lo Greco's only shot is to catch Khan, I don't see how he wins on the cards.

    I don't see why Brook would have to go back down to 147 to fight Khan. Khan is not a title holder at that weight.
    I thought I heard that they agreed to a 150 catchweight, that Khan initially tried to drag him down to 147 but since Lo Greco been fighting at 154, he wouldn't agree to it, but Khan wouldn't agree to 154. Can somebody please confirm?

    If Khan loses to Lo Greco, it really is all over for him. Phil is pure heavybag.

    Brook could agree to 151/152 for a higher split.
    But he should probably get another confidence builder in, then smash whichever LMW dares to come get some.

    Khan as his first defense April 2019

    Even though it's only a Silver Title, do you think Brook picking up a 154-lb belt will give him a sense of confidence that he's now at the weight that he should be at? I just feel like him having that Silver Title gives him a little leverage against Khan seeing how Khan will be title-less. A Silver belt is still better than nothing, no?

    I just don't like the idea that Brook would have to drain himself even to 151 or 152 to fight Khan. Brook weighed in just under the 154-lb limit yesterday. He's taking every advantage of the 11 stone division. I really think these extra few lbs could swing Brook Khan one way or the other. It's that much of a toss-up fight.

    Why doesn't Spence call out GGG?

    Why would he want to get KO'd?

    That title is worthless as teets on a bull.
    It gives the holder a middling WBC top ranking. Setting up an eliminator if he needed one.

    As for the rest of your post....

    It was utterly burned when you opined how the fight is that much of a tossup.

    Brook carries monster power.
    Khan has quick hands and feet and knows how to tie up.
    However, all of Khan's offensive prowess is mute considering Brook will be the heaviest hitter he's fought. The best counter puncher with the best body attack and the finest inside game perhaps in the entire sport.

    Khan could run for 3/4 rds but Brooks timing of the catch and counter will end it no later than the 5th.

    Weight... even at 145 a sickly Brook would last the distance and score a KD with every counter.

    Is there any fights that are worth watching and scoring on any card from last night? @CST80

    So i placed a bet on lenroy by decision last night, Thought i was money down the drain but just checked my account and it says the bet was void and my balance is still the sme. Never placed a bet before in my life is this normal if the fight is stopped in the first round or something?
