GGG vs Kell Brook - Sep 10th at the O2

Anyway Golovkin is surely too strong for this kid. Nevertheless I think the kid has a better chance than any GGG opponent to date. Brook is a very good fighter.

 

An upset is never a bad thing. I just don't see it, though. GGG is too big, too strong, and too powerful for Brook especially at 160.

 

I think Brook will make a better fight of it than a lot of people are expecting, can't see him actually winning though.

 

:scratcher: You reckon? I thought Brook was massive compared to Golovkin?

 

Brook will revert to Ingle stink to try and survive for a few rounds, then he gets hit, then he falls over, then he gets carried out, then we never see or hear from him again.

MTF

 

I suspect he'll give it a real go.

It won't matter, though. I agree with you that Brook is getting KO'd here. If he ran, he stands a chance of going a little late in the fight but I think he'll aggressively use his perceived "hand speed advantage" and that will serve to him getting laid out in no more than 6 rounds... And GGG ought to be ahamed of himself for this pitiful matchmaking.

What a joke this is.

 

Brook doesn't really fight like an Ingle fighter. I wouldn't have guessed he was one if I was watching him for the first time. I think he'll give it an honest effort and try to land that straight right. The jab from GGG will break him down though.

 

My head says that GGG wins by KO in the middle rounds. It should be a massacre once Golovkin settles down to the task. However, for some reason, I smell an upset.

I may have to drop some dollars on this fight

 

I'd be very surprised if this one is competitive. Brooks barely was able to keep Porte off him. He's a decent fighter, but he's overmatched (skill wise and size wise) in this one, and it's a disgrace that this fight was made.

Even so, why would a 175lb guy being dropped by a hard-hitting 160lb´er be such a big deal anyways? :scratcher:

 

I dont know if its a big deal or not, but some claim it never happened.

 

Factoring in This and the Critically Acclaimed "MSG Merchandising Record", GGG's Canastota Bound for Certain...






REED:hammert:

 

Not to mention there were more people watching the open workouts for his bout saturday than at wards last few fights

 

REED Sees This Playing Out like BHop-DeLa...

GGG Will Be "Troubled" Early by Brook's Speed, but by Mid Rounds, Golovkin's PRESSURE (Coupled w/Brook Carrying MORE Weight than he's Accustomed To) Will Compromise his Stamina...GGG Finally Closes Distance, Catches Brook to the Body, Convincing Brook to Take the Full 10 Count, KNOWING Things Would Only Worsen if he Got Up...

In the Aftermath, Brook Will Be THE Happiest Guy in the Building, Because his Face Won't Be Marked Up Tooo Much, He Will Have SPARED Himself Being KnockedTHEFUCKOUT and he'll Deposit the Largest Check he'll EVER See In his Boxing Life...






REED:hammert:

 

I don't think brook will be able to outbox golovkin or win any rounds. We'll see

 

If Brook is competitive in this fight it means Golov is carrying him.

Kell is outgunned in every way imaginable - this include skills. Golovkin might be the "stalker" here, but he's still by far a better technician than Brook.

If Golov lets this fight go longer than 5, he deserves criticism.

He should put Brook away in 3 or 4, honestly.

If Brook were in Crapnelo, he'd put up a far more competitive fight.

 

I disagree Xplosive.

Wincobank fighters are famed for their ability to be shifty and hard to hit.

You saw what an ancient Ryan Rhodes did to Alvarez. Hell you saw what Shitty Khan did to Alvarez till he got caught.

Brook is shifty and clever and may well go rounds.

 

Brook having to hold Porter so often doesn't speak much to his slickness. It does say something about how big and strong he was at welter that he could shut him down like that though.

 

Re-read what I said.

I said Brook WOULD be competitive with Crapnelo.

Ultimately, I think Crapnelo's too strong for Brook and would break him down, but Brook would give him problems.

 

It's not a disgrace the fight was made. Brook is arguably a top 10 p4p fighter, undefeated, and has been pretty dominant. I don't remember people crying when Otis Grant moved up to fight Roy and this fight is way more justifiable than that. It will have a huge crowd and I'd guess it will be HBO's biggest audience of the year.

Regardless, let's say you disagree with everything I've said. The fight is a 6-1 fight. If you think that is a disgrace, then bet big on Golovkin and clean up. 6-1 title fights happen all the time and aren't 'a disgrace.'

 

It's a terrible fight for both fighters. Brook is cashing out and GGG is wasting time fighting welterweights. I'm not buying this shit on general principle.

MTF

 

Brook will retire after this fight unless by some miracle he wins. This is his cashout fight.

::

Dominant? He's fought ONE good fighter in 30-odd fights. He needed a favourable decision to beat Carson Jones. Who is his second best win? Jones? A cokehead? That Jo-Jo bloke?

Dominant...

Uuuuuuh, NO:nono:...

"Arguably", Brook's Hovering Around the Top 20-30, but there's NO Argument for him Being Top 10, as REED Types...GGG Has a Shit Resume, but it Diarrhea Shits on Brook's Resume...When the ONLY Name on Your Resume, Literally, is Shawn Porter, You're NOT 1 of the 10 Best Fighter's in the World...

As for Roy-Grant, Roy was a NATURAL Supermiddle Who Moved Up to '75...Roy Typically Weighed '71-'72 for his Lightheavy Bouts...GGG is an Average Sized Man for his Weight Class, @ Worst...He's NEVER More than 1/2-1 Pound UNDER the Middleweight Limit...

By NO Means is Otis Grant a FEATHER in Roy's Cap, but GGG-Brook is a WORSE Example...







REED:hammert:

 

I don't rate him in the top 10, but The Ring does and Boxrec does (with Porter at #13).

Other than the first Jones fight, has anyone come close to beating him?

 

I wonder in which fucked up world Brooks is arguably a top 10. The only decent fighter he faced was Porter, and it was a contentious decision.

But I must honestly say that I'm really surprised it's only a 6-1 fight

 

This is a very weak era for talent and top guys rarely fight each other so any decent fighter with a decent win is in the running for p4p. Frampton for example is pretty average but he's definitely top 10 with a case for top 5 based on scrimping by two other slightly above average fighters.

 

Just to be clear, are you saying Jones-Grant was a better, more compelling match up than GGG-Brook?

 

Yep. Down here it'll be on HBO. I'm not terribly interested.

Though fighting Triple G isn't much of a cash out, I reckon.

Can't imagine Brook making a monstrous pay day here.
