Khan VS Brook

Pub car park stuff? Really??????

I couldn’t disagree more.

 

That's exactly what my girlfriend said! Started like a funeral but then when it kicked in and the ring walk started i could actually feel the hairs on my neck. Was a fantastic fight, especially the first couple of rounds as you say. Couldn't take my eyes off it.

 

In terms of a title run it’d have to be a states fight or at least bring a world level fight over? I don’t see that.

Only options are Eubank below 160 or Taylor or Benn around 150 for Brook.

If Khan won then Taylor or Benn at 147.

There’s no value in a fight against anyone else in my opinion.

 

I read it as the stream was like someone had filmed it from the pub car park and then I understood A bloke on the next table to us in the pub was filming it for someone through a video call, which was quite funny. And why not, saved someone 20 quid he kept repositioning the phone though and it fell off the table a couple of times.

 

Brook won every round with ease & dodged almost every flurry thrown.

I was amazed with how sharp he was. I’d like to see him retire but I get it if he carries on.

Khan had almost no success & was a mess by the time the stoppage came.

I don’t know if people watched it but Sky Box Office showed the moment Khan’s entourage left him & he was alone taking deep breaths walking to the stage & you could see the fear in him. He looked like a dead man walking.

 

Interesting round that. Will have to watch it back but I said at the time Khan had Kell on the back foot but my girlfriend saw it the other way. Really pleased for Kell.

 

I've massively got into boxing in the last year and it's my second favourite sport now (after footy of course), but I do find the scoring difficult. I know it's all opinions and I usually call it correctly, but on a basic level I don't know how they score so precisely (e.g. 10,9,10 etc). I know that even the judges can be very different in their scoring however. And there is a bit of corruption, I think? For example, Campbell Hatton's last fight - I was shocked when he won on points. But as I say, don't fully understand the scoring anyway, but love boxing now, definitely a convert

 

Each to their own but there wasn't any round that I'd definitely have given to Khan.

 

Good fight, early UK style stoppage but not didn't see too much complaining. This sounds like a stretch but I think if they fought in their primes, with a lenient referee, it could've been an all time classic. Even far beyond their best that fight still had such speed to it. Enjoyed it much more than the Munguia fight I just watched haha,

 

This is a really interesting thing about last night, how both fighters have been called ‘passed their prime’ or ‘too old/should retire’ etc.

Nobody is saying that about Usyk who is 35, Fury who is 33, Joshua and Eubank Jr are 32.

I think there’s been a lack of respect to the 2 lads in that ring last night. It wasn’t 2 old dudes having a last exhibition fight for their last payday. It wasn’t Roy Jones Jr against Tyson.

 

Funnily enough I was saying exactly the same last night.

 

Both have a lot of miles in them in terms of fights and punishment they have taken. Kahn hasn't been in the ring for 2 years. Both have been knocked out badly previously. Brook hasn't been the same since GGG broke his face.
So yes in terms of age I get your point but in boxing terms they are probably both spent forces.

 

Age didn't really have much to do with it and it isn't lack of respect. Fighters peak at different times. Amir Khans prime he was at 140 and it was over ten years ago, he admitted in the post fight he peaked at a very young age.

 

"I think Khan may get on top with hand speed early on but once Brook adjusts to the speed and starts landing then Khan goes down for me - Brook by knockout rounds 5 - 7" - The fight went more or less as I called it Loko - Khan gave it is all and fair play to him for that, but he should now hang his gloves up and retire - nowhere else for him to go after such a comprehensive hiding
