The Boxing Thread

Wasnt throwing any punches and too long to. Go in round. We want it to go on but looked too dangerous.

Tbh Khan looked nervous walking into ring

 

I just want to see * getting destroyed.

Naw I'm glad I never paid for that. I've never ever rated Khan, brave guy for fighting * like Canelo, but overhyped boxer.

 

He did get destroyed really but aye, glad I never paid either.

 

Khans face compared to Brooks, lol.

 

Stoppage was fine for me as well, even though it’s not how you want to see a fight end.

Was clear Brook was on his way to winning the fight comfortably, Khan looked finished and it was only a matter of time before he got sparked out.

Very good performance from Brook albeit against a ring rusty Khan.

 

Khan looked like he was about to burst into tears coming back from ring.

 

He was going to get hurt badly. Perfect stoppage.

 

He’s had a brilliant career. Olympic silver at 17. World champ at 22.

Beat all time legends in Barrera and Maidana.

Beat world class fighters in Judah, Alexander and Kotelnik.

Made multi millions against Canelo, Garcia and Brook.

Doubt he cares that you’ve never rated him

 

Didn't realise the Josh Taylor fight was next week. He needs much better promotion. He's an undisputed world champion ffs and you barely hear his name mentioned compared to some of these *.

 

Absolutely!

 

I think that's down to poor mismanagement from Hearn with regards to Brook. He never had the chance to show what he's made of during his prime at 147.

Brook wanted big fights but Hearn couldn't get them sorted. Following the Shawn Porter win, he should've went on a healthy little streak of matchups against top level opponents at 147 but had a few * mandatory fights that he won easily enough but that did nothing for his legacy.

Then, he took the Golovkin fight when Eubank pulled out (shows how desperate he was for these big fights), got his eye sockets caved in by one of the heaviest hitters p4p and it changed the dynamic of his whole career after that.

I think Brook always had the edge over Khan because of Khan's chin. I knew the fight would either be decided by Khan's chin or Khan's hand speed and it turned out to be the former.

 

I think Top Rank signed Josh Taylor under their promotion to make the Ramirez fight happen (they were under the idea that Ramirez would win), so the belts would be in American/Mexican hands. Taylor saw to it that that didn't happen.

In the UK, I don't know why Sky aren't pushing him at every turn, but it could be down to his opinions on COVID, vaccines, lockdowns, etc.

 

You can bet your baws if he was English then Sky would be all over him regardless of the covid stuff.

 

Probably, yeah. It's a weird one. Only Scots & proper boxing fans seem to have heard of him, which is ridiculous considering he's the first undisputed champion in the four belt era from the Isles. Got snubbed by the Sports personality * from the BBC, too.

 

Like and rate Khan a lot..

Got battered last night and looked like he might go in round one, but he's game as..

Some career. Funny * as well..

Brook was really good last night though. Proper on job and dismantled him and bullied/beat him up..

 

I know Catterall is a quiet guy and a good fighter but Taylor honestly has him a bit spooked for me. It's like Catterall knows he's inferior..
