    Right, but Kell went into detail about how he was gonna knock Khan spark out cold, how he was gonna be standing over his body and all that. Kell made it personal with racially charged outbursts, and personal attacks referencing the webcam incident and how they slept in the same room. It was obviously much more personal for Kell than it was for Khan. And it was a huge motivating factor for him.

    So yeah, they both were stuck in a trash talk loop, but all things considered, Kell talked far more "trash talk" than Khan did, yet Wizzy disputed that idea. It was far more personal for Kell, he was far more cringy in his "trash talk". Khan kept it respectful for the most part, Brook crossed the line more in the buildup and got really personal and vengeful. Now Wiz makes some fair points about things Khan said about Brook in the past, acting like Brook wasn't on his level and all that, but as far as who said more about what they were gonna do to one another, Kell went into great detail about that, and took personal shots at Khan. Khan always kept it professional and respectful, because he's more of a gentleman and a class act than Brook.

    And, you know, someone asked why most of the fans were cheering Khan and booing Brook in the arena, well that's a lot of the reason why.

    Stop your ****. Khan also claimed Brook a happily married family with a beautiful wife and 3 daughters was gay and that he was a racist. Khan was right about one thing that the fight won’t go the distance and it did not,Kell kicked his ass and the fight was stopped to prevent further fatal punishment.

    He shouldn't have took the fight as he must have noticed how shot he was in camp. He must have needed 6-9 months to get back to world class condition after years off.

    Now even his own countrymen are gonna be calling him poppadom chin for the rest of his life.

    When did Khan say that about him being gay? I was mainly referring to the "big talk" in the lead up to this fight, particularly in the gloves are off show and the final press conference.

    No, the reason Brook was booed is because Khan has a sizable asian following

    If you were UK based, you'd know thats the main reason

    So it's not that Khan is more popular with the British public, it's because certain "ethnic groups" are bigger and more inclined to be Khan fans. Got it, sounds like more excuses as to why Khan is more popular than Brook in Britain rather than dealing with the real reasons why.

    Brook's pretty dry so was never going to be a superstar, that much is true

    But what I've said about Khans following is factual

    It's no bad thing but definitely true

    I mean there's probably some truth to what you're saying, but it's only a part of it. Khan is more likeable as a person. He's more charismatic, he's got a better attitude, he also has given the fans more thrills than Brook, and been in more exciting fights. Fans like him more in Britian largely because they identify with him more, not just ethnically but in terms of his character and how fan friendly he is. Brook has a certain bitterness to him that surely turns a lot of British fans off.

    Not in the UK, Khan divides opinion hugely

    Again unfortunately you are not in a position to state otherwise

    He is definitely more box office than Brook for a number of reasons but you are way off track with how he is perceived in the UK

    Also, Manchester is pretty much on the doorstep of his home town and Kell's from across the Pennines. I would think British sport casuals also favoured Khan - on the basis they'd heard of him :lol: - and outnumbered British boxing fans who I reckon were, in the main, pulling for Brook...

    Look at comedian Paul Chowdhurys insta last night, he joked about how many Asians turned for Khan last night

    On a side note i love Paul Chowdhury, one funny guy

    I'm not in a position to state otherwise? LOL who do you think you are wise guy?

    So because you live in the UK, you have a monopoly on opinions as it relates to this? GTFOH man, I am in a position to state anything in contrast to you, but of course I will listen to what you have to say since you live there and evaluate it appropriately.

    How you interpret how he is perceived in the UK is like your opinion, man. You might see it differently than I do, but you're still subject to whatever bias you have from whatever bubble you're in.

    Khan did an interview saying Brook should come out and not be scared of public opinion

    So you're basing your view of this on a tweet by Paul Chowdhry who said there were a lot of asians there. Great work there lol.
