Well, Brook survived 2 mins more than Khan against Canelo. Moral victory for him.

GGG is so good. Best p4p in the world. A shame that everyone avoid him.
 
They're really overplaying Brook here aren't they? GGG took one or two hits but he fecking ruined Brook there.
 
I can't remember a boxer like Golovkin before, seems to take anything thrown at him without it affecting him at all.

Maybe it was for the best tbh- he was dropping his defence with his weird Raging Bull bravado stuff. Credit to Brook though, he took it to him.
 
To spin a positive (like he needs it going by Sky's commentary), I reckon Brook has done enough to earn a Khan fight.
 
Fantastic fight. Credit to Brook. GGG is a beast.
 
Outstanding fight.

Credit to Kell, he fought magnificently and showed a lot of grit, determination and courage.

GGG punches like a light heavyweight. Scary fighter.

Bring on Canelo!

Shame for it to end like that, but I think Brook comes out of this with a lot of credit.

I agree. As I said, I like him, but he's fighting the best in the world at any weight AND he stepped up TWO weights. It was always too much to ask, but fair play for him having the balls to do so. I hope he can go on and do well from this. I doubt anyone can touch him or will want to fight him if he drops back down to his normal weight again, he can walk away knowing he actually took a fight to GGG which is more than anyone else has done for a while.
 
Smart by Ingle. Brook was about to get knocked out cold there, comes out with more credit this way. Pointless fight to be honest, Brook landed a few nice shots, but overall got completely outclassed like many expected.

Yep, hitting him seems to mean feck all. On the other side, when he hits ...
 
Absolutely the right decision from Brook's corner that. He was clearly having issues with that right eye and you could see it was a matter of time before Brook was going to get badly hurt. In that last round Brook did nothing but run away and throw some token punches.
 
Wait a minute, can't watch the fight so decided to keep up via this forum(think it might have been a bad decision). Im reading about this close fight then out of the blue a towel is thrown in? wtf is going on?

Brook wasn't a big puncher at his previous weight so I@m not surprised his punches didn't register two weights up.
 
GGG looked vulnerable there. A harder puncher could have done GGG serious damage.
 
Meh I think that towel was a bit premature personally, though carrying it on would be delaying the inevitable.

At least 50 times more testicular fortitude than Mayweather.

You've got to assume that Brook's face was in a bad way. He wasn't unbalanced.

He was definitely caught up in the bravado, his guard was dropped a lot in those last two rounds. Golovkin could've done serious damage there.
 
What is the deal with Khan/Brook 'glory'? They accepted matches with two way better boxers who are also bigger, and got knock out-ed quite early on the match. Where is the glory on it?!

...

Good interview from GGG.
