Does this Brooks guy actually have a decent chance or is Golovkin just too good?

I would say he has much less of a chance than Khan did against Alvarez and that ended in one of the most brutal kO's in recent years. You just don't know though, this is boxing and anyone stepping into the ring has a chance. If Golovkin hits him a few clean shots to the body early in the fight, it'll change up Brooks entire plan and it could easily be a first round K.O.

It would appear the only way Brook can win is on points, if he knocks out Golovkin I will be shocked, it would be one of the most unlikely KO's in history.
 
Or Brook for that matter...
He's up against it, Golovkin is many peoples number 1 pound of pound fighter in the world. But Kell hasn't truly been tested and will be fighting at a more natural weight, so it a bit of an anomaly.

I don't agree. At least in that match, Khan had a huge advantage on speed. Here, there isn't anything that Brook does better than GGG.
 
carl froch is a right ballbag. malignaggi the best analyst they've ever had, he calls the fights perfectly.

Im confused. you say you dont agree but it looks like you agree with me? Im saying Brook has less of a chance than Khan did
 
Have to admit never seen either fight before
They've showing loads of their old fights on SS. Watched one and Golovkin took out this Pole with a crunching left-right to either ribs then an uppercut. Was pretty brutal.

Froch only ever talks about himself. He is boring.
 
Been a lot of rumours that GGG has been ill and still is. Hearn, Nelson and a few others commented how he looked drawn in the face yesterday and that he was sweating profusely.
Yeah, it was mentioned that GGG was sick just three days ago. It would probably make a more interesting fight.

Yeah, you're right. For some reasons, I read the sentence as Brook has as much chance as Khan had.
 
Sadly as I mentioned about Charlie Edwards, he caught a few too many and the fight ended as expected. Still spirited display.

Hall and Haskins is a bit of a slog. Still, I put a quid on Hall because I can see a stray hook taking Haskins right out.
 
The way Froch started dropping Calzaghe's name about the place once it was clear Joe was retiring was embarrassing.
 
The moment Golovkin lands something of note on Brook, he'll be disheartened.

Can't see this going past 6/7 rounds.
 
My stream is pretty shocking and keeps cutting out.

Anyone mind PMing me one please?
 
I thought Hall did enough but hey-ho. Betfair told those judges not to let me win £6.50

Can you forward any on please. Mine is kack and keeps freezing/buffering. Am looking at Reddit, but loads are asking you to create accounts.
 
Yeh could someone send me one as well, that Facebook stream is a bit laggy like.
 
Really hope Kell doesn't get chinned.

Golovkin is dangerous but I do think there's a bit too be said about his fight record. It's not exactly a who's who of top boxers. I think this will be comfortably his toughest test and Brook will cause him some problems.

Cue a round 1 KO...
