Gotta give it to the pair of them, both looked in good shape for their ages. Khan still has very quick hands and was looking for that quick knock out. Brook is a much clever boxer and had the more power.

Khan was hitting more often but not hurting brook. Brook landed harder punches and knew he could take him.

Brook far more composed and looked the more natural fighter. Khan looked very scruffy and ragged.
If he retires I'll eat my fucking cock.

That's the truth. No one knows if either of them has completely fallen off the cliff or not yet.
Turns out it was Amir who had. Shows why it was a joke fight. Khan was done.

Just one last pay day for both of them. Khan had no chin in his prime but that was embarrassing.

Thought they'd both retired. They definitely should've done.

idk it was getting worse with every round, that last round was just a beating. Probably he could take a little bit more but why do it to him. These guys arent 22 year olds on the way up with everything on the line. Just a grudge match really, with some retirement money attached.

Both taking around £5M for that fight, so that should last them a while and therefore hopefully that’s the last we see of them.

Brook still has something left in the tank. That fight against Golovkin caused him serious harm, but he looks on it.

As for Khan, well well past his prime and shouldn't have taken the fight. Should have retired by now and he's hurt his legacy with this one. His chin was never the best but it looked dangerously shot in this one.

Funny the ESPN commentary saying Khan should outright retire

Based on that? Yeah. That was woeful. He has no business being in the ring if that's how he is now

Good for Brook. Did everything right. Don't think he was really tested. Meh. I'm happy

I think Brooke could get another pay day from this . Think he’ll end up fighting Chris Eubank jr , and getting beat. Still physically very strong but with both eyes damaged he won’t last long.

Haha yeh i suppose relative to Khan he looks like a spring chicken. But I think his eyes are still rekt and he would be good to retire on a high or, if Khan is stupid enough to active rematch clause, take another pay day from that one

Cupping is beneficial for the body as it cleanses bad blood.

Just not sure it benefits so close to a fight when any energy loss can be critical.

Bit like boxing, timing is everything.
