Khan vs Brook - who quits first

Brook is clearly spent and his face looks like its being held together with mascara. The only real question is how shot is Khan? Last fight was nearly three years ago against Billy Dibb, he doesn't look like he's been near a gym in a while and just been scoffing Frey Bentos pies.

If Khan has 50% left, he should win. Can't believe how unexcited I am about seeing this fight.

 

I hope you're right, friend. A few years ago, I wouldn't have hesitated to pick Kell, but Khan has slimily waited 'til the end of the line for a reason — Brook's shopwear and weight issues have created what is far and away Khan's best chance of coming out on top of this matchup in a decade or so of the fight being on the table.


Besides, the emotion Brook has shown in the build-up to this one has allowed Khan to easily score mental victories heading into the bout;

The psychological games aren't the be-all and end-all, but it's still not good to see Brook so easily controlled (emphasis on the second syllable) in that department.

 

I think khan will still have his speed so he will get brook out of there in quick time. Early stoppage khan win

 

There's two outcomes for me and that's one of them.

Khan overwhelms Brook early, blinds him with speed and gets a stoppage inside the 2-3 rounds.

Or alternatively, Brook gets through those early rounds... starts getting his timing down and then stops Khan between 6-8.

For me, it really depends on how quickly Brook can get his timing down.

 

Yes agree with you

 

It's not just the timing either, this could turn into a similar scenario to the Eubank v Williams fight. Where Brook goes down easily to fast shots because he's so weight drained but Khan doesn't do a Eubank and then finishes him pretty quickly.

If it goes past 6 you'd start to favour Brook - as long as his timing isn't completely shot.

 

I don’t even think Khan is that quick anymore. He looks to have slowed down a lot in his last few fights. I still think Brook chins him if his face holds up.

 

Last fight was 2019 and he did not much in that fight.

 

fun stat despit not fighting any wbc contenders for 10 years
khan still holds a top 15 ranking lmfao
aint corrupt though lmfao
never ranked early on by them
only after garcia banjoed him
then never wins the strap
but hold a ranking and becomes president
ha ha ha
he didnt want to know about the wbc a lightweight
nor at lww
but moves to welter wins **** all and as a nailed on ranking despite inactivity

 

Only thing that can beat Brook here is the weight. 149 is probably still too tight for him at this stage and that was the worry coming out of the Crawford fight because he has shown a great chin to that point. Khan has had one meaningful fight in 6 years and was completely embarrassed. His handspeed might be an issue for a round or two but if Brook is even at 50% then he’ll start to time him and get him out of there.

 

I really can’t see an early win for either.

 

brook ko round 11

 

From the outside looking in kind of looks like a haye v bellew situation. Where khans heard through the grapevine brooks seen much better days. Reports of brook not turning up to the gym...drinking etc. Well known he struggles with the weight. Looks like khans turned up to finish him off. Think khans turned up a bit too smug and confident for it considering hes hid from the fight for years. Reminds me of hearn and bellew turning up looking more than confident in the lead up to the haye fight. Defo believe they knew going into that one the extent of hayes problems.

 

Only thing I would say in defence of that is had it not been for covid, this fight could have happened in 2020 and before brook got smashed by bud.
