Will Kell Brook come in overweight on purpose

Nice to see a weigh in without Hearn sticking his face in the middle of them doing that stupid pout he does followed by an interview.

 

He is one punch fighter - soon as it lands fight over.

Earn hidden away on DAZN UK out of sight, out of mind - even Maya Jama left the sinking HMS Matchroom

 

Watch Dominic Ingles interview with boxing social from a few days ago. They had the choice of WBC, WBA or IBF check weights in order to insure fighters health wasn't at risk. They agreed on WBC. Now they have a rehydration limit of 163.9lbs for tomorrow.

 

Just watched brook interviewed after the weigh in and looks to me like it was a huge struggle to make weight.

He looked so dry in the face.

 

ive seen Brook look way worse than that at previous weigh ins. He's looked awefully gaunt and drained before, this time i think he looks way more comfortable to be honest. I know its a different sport, but i remember seeing Conor Mcgregor coming into weigh ins when he fought at 145lbs and he was breathing heavy and barely able to speak. Brook looks fine, all things considered

 

With Penfold and Anthony Bellew stood next to Koogs just waiting for their 10 minute fix.

 

I did and he said "WBC style" not WBC, only WBC have check weights, only IBF have post fight check weights.

The promoter has already denied there is a check weight tomorrow, which is likely why from his interviews Brook on Sky Brook has already had 2 litres of water and the rest

 

I had the opposite reaction. I thought he looked better making weight than I've seen him in a while.

 

True he looked worse vs spence IMO.

 

It is nice to see a big fight in Britain without Eddie Hearn all over the gaff.

 

A big fight in Britain without Hearn's pout and without Franks cheques bouncing

 

Both looked fine to me, seen Brook look way worse. The rehydration might be an issue and it could be worth his while giving a few pounds away tomorrow
The 'Brook is shot' narrative makes me laugh though, seem more prevalent than similar comments for Khan. Its impossible to know, personally I think Brook's punch resistance might be lower because of weight issues. He's always had a good/very good chin but the Crawford stoppage a worry. But its a different level of fighter and a small sample size of data. Personally think Khan would have been a relatively easy fight for Brook at 147 when it should have been made. Brook was the one with the higher ceiling, Khan has way too many flaws. Unfortunately due to bad timing, bad application and bad management it wasn't to be for Kell at the highest level. Still had a decent career and made a few quid.

 

True coming straight down from middleweight was madness, but pride made him do it. Should have moved to 154 and vacated.

 

Spot on. in their Pomp's I actually think it would have been a straight forward win for Brook.
