Monroe was straight trash tonight, GGG had a hard time with him.

    Sure brook got rocked but that's what to be expected. GGG being lifted off the ground by a WW uppercut was highly impressive and stole the round for me.. That was eye candy. Disagree if you will, but imo I had it 2-2 regardless going into the 5th round.

    See, that's the bias I was talking about earlier though. You can't just give extra points for things like that. You have to be objective. Brook didn't really hurt GGG even with that. He ate those uppercuts. Brook on the other hand? He needed a moment. Brook is a natural 154 lbs fighter. He was really just at WW because he got a title and was hoping to get a fight with Khan that never came. GGG is a average to small MW. On Fight night Brook may have been a little bigger than GGG. Objectively, not arbitrarily giving extra points for a size difference (that isn't really extreme), it was 3-1.

    Haha, yeah neither one of us is going to budge on this. We can agree that Brook impressed us though so that's something, lol.

    It's a shame Monroe lost his slick card after GGG knocked him out.

    Had that fight not happened, the same mofos downplaying him now would be off the wall about how GGG doesn't want anything to do with a slickster like Monroe. But since he got destroyed, he's useless to 'em. Off to the next boogeyman.

    Are you also an african-american ?
    Just curious

    I'm trying to figure out whats with the anti GGG hate from black americans.
    Just cuz hes russian? And russians inside Russia are also to be racists against blacks, is that it ??

    No im not black. How could you determine race thru a simple opinion or from point of view. Why would race even matter? There ia plenty of whites who dont care for GGG fyi if you wwrent so closed minded you would understand
