Does anyone give Brook a chance against GGG??

The main fight has got a decent undercard too. Looking forward to seeing Benn jr!

Saw Benn Jrs debut. He's very raw. Don't think he has much of an amateur background.

No doubt - very raw. Just want to see has he progressed any.

Not really. Brook had good hand speed but can't see him having the power to keep golovkin off him. Which in turn means his footwork and defensive work would need to be be Rigondeauxesque which it isn"t which is going to be a problem as golovkin cuts off the ring very well.

Give huge credit to Brook for taking this fight as shows he has some pair of stones but can't see how doesn't end in KO. Brook has a good chin so may not be as early as you might think but hard to see him lasting into the championship rounds.

Agreed.  Golovkin will just keep marching forward and doesn't mind taking a few as he continuously lands bombs.  Brook won't last 8 rounds I don't think. Brook will certainly land a few but will they be enough to ruffle Golovkin? Can't see it  tbh.  Really looking forward to it. 

Be about 11pm ring walk?

Think I seen 10pm or a little later....

No doubt KB will put up a good fight....

Both fighters can't get a fight at their own weight...

Win/win really for both with loads of cash...

Brook has more of a chance than Khan had going in against Canelo but I still can't see past Golovkin and agree with the comments above.

I actually think Brook has very dangerous fights (Thurman, Spence Jr) at his own weight class and may move up one weight after this fight to avoid them. Other than Porter he hasn't faced any top class opposition. That being said I'm a fan of his and he is probably the best boxer in Britain at the moment.

Both make weight with GGG coming in at 158.9. A bit strange.

[BennyHarp]

I'm a big Brook fan but he realistically has no chance tomorrow night, but I've been sucked in by all the hype and as the fight draws closer I'm beginning to think Brook might put up a decent show. I don't think we have seen the best of Brook, he's unbeaten so you just never know..........actually, we do know.......he's going to be knocked out! But I'm still looking forward to it!

Whats strange?

[bridgegael]

Reckon ggg will be close to 170 by tomorrow night

That he came in more than a pound underweight.

Oh yeah. missed that thought it was 159.9lbs

I think this could be cracker but alot depends on Brook no.1 if his power carries up with his weight because if he cant keep Golovkin off he'll just become prey and no.2 if his stamina lasts.

Tho even if he does manage those two things its still very difficult to see him winning

[heganboy]

I think GGG in 6. With a couple of canvas visits before the finish for Brook

Frochs nose is nice

This is working at the moment.
