Brook/Smith sparring ?

Post by Anzi »

Brook still going back in straight lines and getting caught, he cannot makes these mistakes with a much bigger puncher like Golokin : https://www.facebook.com/Boxingexposure ... 774876431/

You shouldn't read too much into sparring but I'm going to double my bet on a GGG first round KO!

Going off what we saw there, Brook vs Smith would make for a very good fight.

Brook bully's people at Welterweight, up to a certain level, Liam Smith who is a light Middle is walking through his shots and Golokin is bigger, stronger and has far more power then Smith.

A ten second clip is enough to see a weakness or fault in a boxer.

Yeah, reaching the pinnacle of his sport as a world champion and retiring a multimillionaire swanning off into the sunset to live a great life in the Caribbean probably, terrible ending.

I remember the clip of Eubank Jr sparring with Froch before the Groves rematch, some people read way too much into it. It's just sparring, doesn't mean anything.

I remember that. Froch looked awful and very slow. Good point. I remember watching it and thinking Froch was in bother.

Everyone does in sparring from time to time. So what? It's not as if we got to see the whole spar.

Love Smith's style. At 0:33 he feints a left hook to the body, Brook goes to block it, Smith comes upstairs with a left hook followed by a straight right. If one feint is all GGG needs to land a clean right hand it will be :zzz: pretty early for Kell.

He still loses because he's still not as skilled a boxer as Golovkin

Didn't he get rocked by Senchenko? It might be good but I doubt it's granite.

Brook has pretty slow feet. If you watch most of his fights he doesn't use his feet much to evade punches. He tends to sway back and make his opponent miss by a few inches. However if you feint him, I imagine he's wide open to a left hook.
