What a BS stoppage. Kell was waiting for GGG to run out of gas.

    Kell was using the rope-a-dope tactic against GGG, but the ref stopped the fight.

    In the Ali-Foreman fight, the ref could have stopped the fight in the 5th when Foreman landed a series of unanswered punches on Ali, and it would have been the same as what we saw last night.

    Of course Kell's cornermen wanted to protect the health of their cash cow, so he could continue making them money in the future. But the ref had no good reason to stop that fight. Kell was lucid and was even making fun of GGG.

    He would have had a long wait. Brook would have run out of life before Golovkin run out of gas.

    Kell was out of gas in the 5th lol... If rope a dope means getting pummeled for 5 rounds then he did that very well

    Did you actually see Ali vs. Foreman? Ali wasn't getting hit in that fight, he probably won every round in that fight. He certainly didn't have a fractured orbital and lose every round but maybe the 2nd like Brook vs. GGG.

    They guy stood there for a minute and ate flush shot after flush shot without protecting his head, because he couldn't even lift them arms anymore. You could see his head snap back at a lot of them. The basic in boxing is protect yourself at all time. When you talk about quitting in your corner and the next round you show up staying trapped in the ropes eating power shots without protection and only throwing 5-6 shots yourself, you know you are gonna get stop. His corner had been waving the towel for almost 15-20 seconds shouting at the ref before throwing it at the ref because he didn't see/hear them. If you think he was letting GGG unloading so he could finally snap back, you are wrong. I remember thinking during that 5th round that if the fight was anywhere else but in the UK with a UK fighter the ref would've stepped in earlier. For once, this was not a british stoppage.

    Good stoppage, brook should tell his trainer to actually throw the towel next time!!!!! He saved his fighter from possibly bad damage, Brook admitted he was seeing 3 GGG's, that makes nine G's, wow

    He was on his bike for most of the fourth and clearly in trouble in the fifth. His eye was obviously hurting him quite badly for most of the fight.
