Brook wasn't too disappointed!!

Gettin outta there alive was a bonus.

fair play to Brook but some amount o shite being talked there about a guy that was pulled out of  it in 5 rounds

Brook wasn't too disappointed!!

I would say he will be feeling extremely frustrated rather than disappointed. His eye socket more than likely broken so what can he do? He's never going to last 12 rounds with that sort of injury so he probably knows it was the right decision. But no doubt feeling like he could do much better if he hadn't of got that injury and will want another shot, even though there are much easier fights out there, for more money. Would have been interesting to see how long he would have lasted injury free.

The commentators talk some shite about this is the blue print to beat GGG and all. When really the fight went as everyone expected. Stoppage in middle rounds. I really rate Brook though. Cracking fighter and will hopefully be back at the top soon.

Brook is some fighter and fair dues to him.  GGG is an absolute beast and would have caused serious damage if that had went any further.  Brook landed that upper cut and a combo in the second,  Golovkin jesters and you feared the worst for Brook.  As has been mentioned,  the Sky commentators are full of sh1t.  They even tried to portray the fact that GGG got angry was a weakness.. dear me.

Brook handled himself well, maybe drop back down and clean up. Socket was broken early. Good call by corner. GGG is some fighter.

The result shows just how brave, but incredibly stupid, a decision it was for Brook to jump that much weight. GGG hasn't looked good or healthy all week, was very low at the 30 day weigh in and he still smashed him.

Aye Brook landed a few but nothing troubling. Brook was likely to end up in a bad way if they allowed it to go on so he right decision from the corner. Not ideal for paying public but the guys health was on the line.

Was he tho? Thought that myself about his weight but then was reading that Abel Sanchez says he rarely comes to camp above 170.

But then there was the 159 weigh in as you pointed out.... do you think he had a bug or something?

Anyone still doubt GGG? #1 in the world.

Last night proved nothing more regarding GGG other than what we already know. That he can beat up guys who he shouldn't be matched with. If that was a proper middle weight or above landing those shots that Kell was landing last night, then we would know a bit more. I felt he was actually outboxed a little in the exchanges last night but ultimately was too big and too strong at the weights!

The number one fighter in the world was fighting last night but it wasn't GGG. Roman 'chocolatito' Gonzalez picked up another world title. The man is amazing but doesn't get the correct regonition as he is in the smaller weight classes. GGG is an animal though, we are yet to see him in with another top 10. He might have to go up to some sort of catch weight to try secure his legacy, he's not getting any younger. Judging him against a fella who has jumped up 2 weights is pointless.

I don't mind Eddie Hearn. It's the business he is in. I like to listen to him and he takes the piss out of himself a good bit on the interviews with Kugan Cassius. Who else is better outside of America?

I agree and would argue he is putting on better shows than the Americans are at the minute, selling out arenas up and down the country. He's managed to get some fairly average fighters World Title shots and even World titles, (such as Lee Haskins who fought last night) and he's convinced half of Britain that Anthony Joshua is the new Mohammad Ali. Also to be fair he gets his fighters good money in the process.
