the fight takes place later this year or early next year like it should. I have Khan by UD this is why. Khan is much faster than brook and that will play a big factor. Brook can not box with Khan he knows this. Yes kell has a great punchers chance if he catches khan in a flurry with a solid straight right hand it could be over for Khan. But to me I think Virgils gameplan will be for khan to use his jab a few right hands flurry at times and move and tie up. only thing at times Khan does throw caution to the wind so he might be koed. My final key Point in the Khan vs brook Scenario is their history: No one talks about this at all and i cant understand why? They have sparred numerous times yes some will say sparring is just that sparring but when someone clowns you in sparring and just flat out dominates you that has a physiological effect. and when Khan says he used to clown kell is sparring i believe it. Even when they sat side by side on ringside and khan brought up the sparring kell tried to act strong but you could tell khan was not lying. its that father/son Scenario big brother/little brother or that kid you used to compete against you in a sport who always beats you and just was a step ahead. But years roll by you get bigger stronger faster start to make a name for yourself that and the other kid is still good but other guys have beat him and you think im a man now. There is no way he will clown me like when we were kids every again so you end up competing against the guy again and he dominates you just like when you were kids and as its happening it breaks you down you realize this guy just has my number. sometimes kids over come and beat their old foe but i dont think kell will. And as the round go by and kells nose starts to bleed or his eye is cut he will feel like that kid that khan used to clown in those sparring sessions and he will realize he is just better than me.
Pretty much my thoughts. Khans hand speed causes everyone issues. Can Brook deal with it and find his own success? That's the big question for me.
Khan better step up if Floyd avoids him... He hasn't got long left in him. Less than 2 years. He has to fight someone decent at the end of this year or he might as well fugg off.
A precise counter puncher with good power is bad news for Khan. Not saying he can't win because you never know with him but on paper Brooks all wrong for him. Would love to see this fight.
Khan will have plenty of success early boxing and moving but eventually Brook adjusts to his speed, times him and begins to land flush punches and once that happens I see a late stoppage or clear decision for Brook. Kell can take Amir's punches Amir won't be able to take his, that's what it will boil down to in the end for me.
If Khan is so confident he can beat Brook because he schooled him in sparring then why didn't he take the fight, and why does Brook really want it. Have you thought that through? :think
I don't understand. What as good as? What has he done so spectacular for you to say that. I honestly don't believe you making a rational comment like that. I also don understand you guys mentioning about brooks power like he is some Lucas Matthysse. For all we know, Mathew Hatton said he punches hard than Canelo? Is that all we have for us to claim that brook is some monster puncher? Who has he KO who is an elite? That's right, the only elite on his resume is Porter? Guys just please stop nut hugging. You are wasting your time backing a protected fighter. You are being fooled for all I know. Don't buy his ****s.
The issue is Brook doesn't have to be a monster puncher to crack Khan's chin. I'd say his pop is pretty good, but even Algieri was able to shake Khan up multiple times. And Brook is pretty accurate with his work. Khan can be as busy as he wants, but Brook has shown enough to indicate he can handle Khan's level of punching power. Khan has shown enough to indicate that he can't handle Brook's.
No khan will drop kell at some point of the fight mark my words. plus another thing is kell is very flat footed and robotic. Virgil will have khan to use the ring and move well in overall spots. because when kell has to pick up his feet and move his offense will struggle and i know kell can not cut off a ring period. Brook is a counter puncher he will struggle leading.
No. Some people here project brook to have insane power. In one other thread somebody was claiming that he can drop manny as well. True. He can drop Khan if he manages to hit the dance button but apart from that I dont seem him stopping anybody like many claim here. I mean, he can stop manny? For god sakes.. Accurate? Again.. How do you say all these about a guy who has never fought in elite level as much as others do. How do you call him accurate? What is your logic behind it? Based on what? This brook nut hugging is going out of control in this forum. I wish he gets exposed or atleast prove me wrong. But for either of it to happen, he needs to step up his game. His fight with Rios is hanging on a rematch clause, for fcuk sake. He is not even confident that he needs a rematch clause with freaking Rios? Fight him already. Can we say he is ducking Rios? who his he going to fight next? Gavin 2?
Then why is Khan so **** scared of fighting him? If he beats Kell then he deserves to go in with Flloyd AND he'll be a belt holder too. But he knows he will get KTFO by Kell
