^Nah. I doubt Brook has had time to get used to the extra weight and lacks the speed and punching power to trouble Golovkin.
Once Brook gets cracked by a few bombs from the hardest-punching true Middleweight out there, I think he might start regretting taking this fight on, tbh.
As a Brit, I'd like to see Brook win, but can't see it happening.

brook looks way better than khan, who looked soft and podgy at the higher weight

So far no one has been good enough to put GGG under pressure , for me the way he's handled far bigger punchers than Brook like David Lemuix suggests than Brook is in for a well paid hard night which could end early ,as I have said before Golovkin is a far better boxer than people give him credit for , he knows how to close people down and to make openings for his shots , in conclusion I think that this will be a mismatch and the naturally bigger man in Golovkin will close the show before round 6 .

^Yep. Like most of the really good Russians and Ukrainians, GGG has a tremendous amateur background and schooling to go with the power-punching and eye-catching KO's.
He possesses very good footwork and ability to cut off the ring, a tremendous jab when he needs it, and great timing and positioning to counter and then get his own [damaging] punches off.
Brook was always a big Welter, but jumping up 2 weight classes to take on a beast like GGG seems daft to me, especially given the depth of talent and potentially-great / lucrative fights to be made at 147 lbs.
Welterweight Ratings by Ring Magazine

The opportunity arose for Brook to make his biggest ever purse and no one can knock him for that , the ring magazine ratings brought back old memories as I used to buy it every Month when I was a kid ,I like the look of Errol Spence Jnr having seen him twice now destroy credible opponents ,for me the kid is the complete package and can go all the way if boxing "politics" does not stand in his way , your assessment of GGG is spot on , the guy served his apprenticeship with distinction and how it shows , his check weight at only 165 shows his true professionalism , as stated I just cannot see it lasting more than 6 rounds but at least it will give the local fight buffs a chance to see one of the hardest punchers in the middle weight division at this moment in time .

Good Write up on what could well be the next great name at Welter weight , I've mentioned him a couple of times now , as well as being a good fighter Spence has the gift of the gab in the nicest kind of way Errol Spence Jr: I could have fought for a world title 3 fights ago | Boxing News | Fightnews

I'm surprised you are cheering him on blue, after all he is clearly non-white and yet fucking a white woman.



Normally this would be enough to drive you into a racist, dribbling frenzy.

Are you going soft in your old nic, er I mean age?

Of course all members views/opinions are respected and appreciated, but if memory serves me correctly Blue appears to go for the underdog, very likely going for the big odds I dare say , however there is nothing in Brooks armoury that can give Golovnikov any problems and as I have noted and Kmart too that he is a far better boxer than many scribes give him credit for ,its OK being a big puncher but you have to make openings to land it and in this GGG appears to have that rare talent has his KO record readily denotes .

I lost about 15 boxing match bets in a row, including a few Mayweathe fights , luckily all small bets.

The only time i was right was favourite Amir khan losing , but i didn't bother betting - too short odds .
last win I had was Hatton beating costa zoo (however the immigrants name is spelt.)

As regards accusations of racism - I agree , Brook is one, as like all 'British' black sportsmen only dates white meat .

However I'm able to put his bigotry aside, in my cold analysis.
GGG is 34 years old
If he was 24 with his Ko record, ring time ,etc , I'd hail him too, but 34 and no real defining fight ?
You get great and learn by being tested, digging deep, adjusting with a B plan, surviving cuts etc . not just KO ing a line of brave but limited opponents


Loads of seemingly unbeatable fighters get beat.
How is he going last in a long fight, if brook smothers and frustrates him for 8 rounds, maybe he will lose his cool, gas out ,
Brook might be a bit thick, but at least he's half white, so could be reasonably smart.. The ingle gym is top class , maybe Brenden etc have a good plan ready.

Still I agree a brook win is a long shot
but good value at over 4-1
Also my losing streak has to end...
I predict ggg quitting on his stool round 9-11

I think posters would read more if you did not write that sentence. Especially when you took Brooks to beat triple G

I stopped reading.

He might be better off with a couple of nurses, tbh. He's going to need them.

^I don't have to spell it out for an old boxing buff like you ,but as we know everything in boxing comes from the jab , and looking at this video of the Lemieux fight I just cannot see how Brook will be able to cope with it never mind the firepower

I see my next bet for Greatness in his division Errol Spence Jr did it again this weekend against veteran Leonard Bundu who has never been stopped before and give Kieth Thurman all he could handle in 2014 before losing on points , here is the write up from Bad left hook Errol Spence Jr. dominates, knocks out Leonard Bundu - Bad Left Hook

^Yep. Impressive. Highlights and KO:

I read a story about a year back when Kieth Thurman was being interviewed by some boxing scribes about who he was going to fight next and what his future plans was , some one must have annoyed Thurman by keep asking about Spence and was he in Thurman's plans as a future opponent , Thurman then replied angrily that if any one mentioned Spence again that would be interview over as he would vacate the premises

Enough of that UFC rubbish...

...thought you fellas might enjoy a bit of classic boxing; best first round ever?

Well not long now , Brook is talking the talk ,however walking the walk with an animal like Golovkin is a different proposition alltogther , for me Brook will be on the back foot from the start ,he just cannot hope to meet GGG mid ring and come off the best ,as stated previously I cannot see it going any further than round 6 , and don't be at all surprised if Eubank and son are there at ring side to offer the next challenge http://www.badlefthook.com/2016/8/30...nnady-golovkin

Heres what Martin Murray has to say about the Upcoming GGG V Brook fight , Murray went 11 punishing rounds with Golovkin so he has first hand experience of what will be on the table for Brook Martin Murray: Kell Brook won't go more than six with Gennady Golovkin - Bad Left Hook

3 or 4 rounds only...

Just to clarify for some posters; GGG will win...

GGG surprised by Kell out-weighing him going into this fight:-

Gennady Golovkin thinks Kell Brook's size makes the fight more interesting - Bad Left Hook

Daniel Perez pulls off one of the cleanest knockouts ever in boxing against Gustavo Molina

Daniel Perez brutal knockout of Gustavo Molina on Saturday night is probably one of the cleanest KO’s you will ever seen, never mind a lights out punch of the year contender.
The bantamweight fight was set to go on for just six rounds, but Perez made sure he took the decision out of the judges hands with a devastating right hand to floor Molina.
Molina left himself open for just a second and was soon heading face first for the mat thanks to Perez’s quick reactions.
As Molina crumbled to the canvas, Perez peeled off in celebration to maintain his unbeaten record in eight fights.
