Hence I refer you to my first answer mate.  ;D

Even Kell's ma is going against Kell, only Fordy remains in Brooks corner.  ;D

Kell will do well to get this to points.

If he does the above he might his ultimate cash out fight with Khan.

Going by Khan sweet talking in the week he might have the same idea.

The reality is both are way past their best and it really is the only money fight left for them even though its 4 years too late.

Crawford v Spence is the one id like to see and I tip Crawford to beat him.

Loads of big talk from Brook this week, says he's going to do to Crawford what Calzaghe did to Lacey ;D

Reality is he has no chance. Lomachenko v Crolla level mosmatch. Although the odds are so good that I might have a silly punt on Brook in any case.

Brook has exactly one live opponent on his CV and that was 6 years ago. Since then he has had his skull fractured twice and lost to Michael Zerafa in my opinion. He might come in big and try to make it a shootout but he'll take too many shots and get stopped late.

Watched the weigh in last night & Andre Ward was saying what great shape Brook looked in. Just watching an interview that him & Crawford did with Max Kellerman afterwards. Kell looks weight drained to me. I wish him well but think Bud will have too much for him.

He hasn't made 147 for a long time. And he was struggling with it then.

I thought the same, weight drained. Shame it’s not available on tv as it will probably be a good watch while it lasts, but if he is drained at the weight I’m not sure it’ll last 6 rounds

It is amazing how many athletes come to boxing after excelling in another discipline. Probably the example best is Audley Harrison who came to boxing after a career in pacifism.

He's not though. Postol and Benavidez are far better than this version of Brook as was Gamboa. This is a shot version of Brook. If he pulls this off, it's the biggest upset in years. It would be a modern, Poundland version of Turpin against Sugar Ray. Crawford ain't Sugar Ray and Brook sure ain't Turpin but it would be a monster upset.

I forgot Bud pasted Khan in 6 😁

Man, just saw the end of that Franco-Maloney fight, disgusting to see how boxing robs fighters, not a single headbutt to the right eye, and they simply lie in order to either rob the fighter or save face for the referee, what is the point of replay if you can't see the obvious.
