    Cracking fight. 6-0 Brook. Totally one sided. Khan can't moan at his defeat. Ref did the right thing stopping it.

    Won the second at a canter. Won the fourth for me outside of the last 15 seconds.

    Great fight. Neither fighter needs to go again though. Both definitely finished.

    Fair play to both, they went for it and put on a good fight.

    Well I was never gonna pay £20 for that card but curiosity got the better of me and I watched main event on a dodgy stream. Horrendous, proper pub car park tackle.

    Fair play though it’s done great business so a very nice retirement present for them both.

    Not a massive boxing fan but decided to buy it on a whim. A really good fight, no fannying around, great entertainment and Yorkshire won, what’s not to like?

    Pretty one sided, I'm not sure I could give Khan a share of a round tbh, totally static head made him easy to hit...which surprised me, but Brook showed a great variety of punches.

    I’ve never been a real Kell Brook fan, but have cheered him on in most fights. But I do love the fact he has an iconic ring walk tune to come out to.

    Feels like a lost art having something iconic play when the lights go out like ‘Simply the Best’.

    Kell wasted his career chasing a win against khan.

    I predicted Khan to win on points, but he looked spent didn't he? His fast hands were there for the first few rounds, but he was just missing with his big shots.

    I had Brook 5-1. He didn't look 'special', but he looked much better than Amir and deserved that easy win.

    They should both call it a day.

    In the ring walk Khan was almost as white as Bruno when he fought Tyson in Vegas. The confidence and calmness from the earlier interviews prior to fight week had completely switched in Brook’s favour. Even the glove change didn’t faze him.

    Two and a half years without fighting showed for Khan. Think that’s why he got caught so cold in round one, and despite being as tough as nails in terms of staying on his feet, I don’t think he had the same desire as Kell and nor did the fight mean as much to him.

    Really don’t want to see either fighter continue but they’ll be millions on the table for Brook to fight Eubank. As good as Brook was vs. what many expected, it says a lot that he couldn’t finish Khan off in those last two rounds. Some wild misses, not much timing, but could throw enough punches because Khan literally offered nothing back.

    Eubank suggesting this fight is an embarrassment as well. Why isn’t he chasing the champions so aggressively?

    Come on, Kell was streets ahead of where I expected him to be, and Khan was game for a fight.
    I thought the ref stopped it early, but the result was only going one way, and Brook could still do a job at British or European Level, no problem.

    I don’t think Brook could beat Eubank Jr, but I think it would be a commercially successful fight. I do think it suits Brook’s career much more than Eubank’s.

    I thought that with eubank he knows he has the upper hand and a domestic fight that would make money. Hope kell retires.

    I agree, it’s worth remembering that Wilder is 36, Crawford 34, fury 33 and Eubank is 32.
