    Zerafa is a big tough long armed guy. I admit I knew nothing of the bloke previously but he's obviously the sort of fresh unworn young guy who has enough size and reach to trouble a better but damaged guy like Brook.

    Brook is not damaged good. He's simply not as good as some tought he was (still a pretty good fighter though)

    Brook to lose tonight then retire? Never heard of his opponent.

    Brook is absolutely dreadfull when he turns southpaw. If he continues switchhitting, it will prove disastreous against better opposition

    If Khan's career was a joke, what does that say about the careers of Judah, Maidana, Collazzo & Malignaggi's?

    No, Kell is trying to prove he's good enough to be a 2 division Champ. Kell is going to die in there.

    Worst card I have seen since years.

    They had that Dave Allen kicking it all off.

    In an instance of monstrous shambolity, the live show started half way through the opening round.....I shit thee not.

    Aftter the fight, Allen said it weren't all about fame or money, it was about "nights like this".

    Yes mate. Nights where you beat up a Welsh guy called Dorian and the TV company doesn't show your fight in full and the crowd is at the bar when you are "fighting".

    Then they had Kid Glad Your Dad up against Brown Sugar Miguel "King Roadsweeper" Moreno or some shit. Stopped on a cut.

    Then a girl fight, complete with lesbian in the crowd, and not a fine lesbian, but a total man-boy complete with flashout haircut and all the accouterments of lesbianism.....no tits, big angry veins in her neck, the works.

    Then Kell vs a former US Marine who was tough and had spent longer in Afghanistan than he had been learning boxing.

    Kell was totally there to be hit but did as he pleased.

    20 years ago this shit wouldn't have passed muster in the local bingo hall on Friday, never mind Sky on Saturday in a proper arena.

    Fuck off Hearn.

    Judah was finished when he fought Khan. He'd been blitzed by Zoo about what, 12 years earlier? He'd lost to just about every big name since before and after.

    Maidana I will give you, but Khan was hanging on and Maidana had the capacity to blow hot and cold, He was much better at 147 and Khan never rematched him.

    Malignaggi always lost to anyone who was faster or more powerful. And again, Paulies best days were way behind him. He fought Cotto in 2005. Hatton in 2008 and Khan 2 years later again.

    Khan was always good at hoovering other peoples damaged goods up.

    Same with Collazo....the guy lost to Hatton in 2006, lost to Shane in 2008 and fought Khan in...........2014. He beat up Collazo a full 6 years after Shane did it and a mere 8 after Hatton beat him.

    Fucks sake. When you look at it forensically, Khan looks even worse.

    He still has a better resume than Brook. Before he lost to Spence, Brook's career was centered around about a half dozen youtube videos of Eddie Hearn explaining why Kell was fighting yet another bum. Smirking at the camera. "We offered to fight all the big names, roight. But they just didn't want it now did they?"

    I still think Brook looked decent enough for Khan to avoid him again.

    Brook had poise. His problems are either weight or the facial injuries. He'll beat Khan to bits if Khan mans up and faces him.

    It's a shit meaningless fight that will make $$$$ for both men and probably sell out a large arena in the UK.

    Khan is from Bolton. Brook is from Sheffield. It only makes sense that they meet halfway and have an outdoor fight at Peak District National Park. With Prince Haveeb as referee.

    Naz is a friend of Khan and Khan is an unobservant Muslim. In that he's adulterous. In that other people fuck his wife.

    But Naz has the Sheffield connection with Brook. They ran the same streets. Ran with the same louts. And they both lost their virginity to Brendan Ingle.

    They were orthodox before he found them. He turned them. They were scared little fucks. But Noakes Ingle tried to make them hard. And all this time they just thought he liked turning lads lefty. Ingle had the brisket he should have tried the meatloaf.

    Brook has more guts than any other fighter in the sport. Khan has a glass chin and that wil be a bad thing in a matchup with this fellow. Brook is a throwback to the guys from the past who would fight anyone regardless of weight and record. Nothing but respect for this guy from me and all fighters can learn a lesson in courage from him.

    Brook will fight anybody anywhere. He chose to fight the likes of Jo Jo Dan, Frankie Gavin, Kevin Bizier so he can prove that even with a world title, he's not too proud to fight a string of tomato cans in a row.

    In fairness moving up to 160 to fight GGG and fighting Spence in his next fight having worked so so hard to get back to 147 has erased a lot of the stink.

    He's got 3 really big names on his record.

    As I say, he's not afraid, his promoter is.

    What a douchebag and chickenshit thing to type about the only guy with enough guts to fight the two baddest asses out there and he gave a good account of himself both times.

    Agreed. And I doubt Brook was actually afraid of anybody at 147 either but that stemmed from the comparison in resumes between Khan and Brook. The stretch between Porter and GGG was bad for a world title holder. Made worse by Eddie Hearn's smug videos making lame excuses.

    Completely disagree
    Bar the ggg fight, which was more a cashgrab than anything else (as proven by his team throwing in the towel real early), Brook only took the big fights when he was forced to do so.

    Im not saying he's a coward, far from it, but claiming hes the bravest boxer in the sport is quite a stretch

    Those two dudes are stone cold killers. Had they not quit the Gennady fight Brook probably would have been ruined.
