Why is Brook fighting at 147 ? I think he will look drained and get knocked out

    He'll be 170 plus in this fight like he was against Golovkin. Eventually all this dehydration catches up with guys, but Brook is still young.

    Oh it's Dino....DIIIIIIINOOOOOOO

    He was 178 on the 30 weigh in. He had rehydrated to 168 on the morning of and likely was back over 170 by the time of the fight as Hearn said he would.

    What is your thoughts, Dino? That Brook dropped 20 pounds after the morning of weigh in, and entered the ring at 148.

    Yes, an assumption that is likely correct since the plan was for Brook to be over 170 as usual and at 168 on the morning of the fight was on his way.

    When was Brook over 170 when he fought at welter? Is this another figment of your imagination?
    Show me when Brook was 170 plus at welter weight?

    It was pretty clear Khan wouldnt fight him next. Khan mentioned Spence more in interviews around that time than he did mayweather! Thats some feat for him.

    Nobody is disputing that. Hearns said his walking weight is over 180 and he usually fights at 160-170.

    If he's drained, is that really an excuse? Or a simple matter of fact? Truth of the matter is, that happens. But ultimately, it's still up to the fighter. If Brook looks drained and sluggish, and he loses, it's still all his fault.

    No excuses .... I believe Spence is the real deal. May the better fighter win.
