A really good main event that I’m looking forward to but is this the worst ever PPV undercard in the U.K.?
You mean you're not hyped to see Natasha Jonas make history, the first women to leap several divisions and go straight for a title shot??! (Adopt Adam Smith voice) I mean its like a real life Rocky story!!!
Anyways watch the gloves are off? Was good tbh.
Obviously doesn’t mean much but Khan is definitely quick with his mouth and made Brook look a little brain damaged.
Genuine 50/50.
Khan TKO1 or Brook KO5.

Can you buy Sky Sports PPV on Now TV? If not, how do you get it when you don't have Sky? Cheers.
I think you need the Now Box? And not just the app.
That was last time I enquired, few years back.
Yeah it’s still the same. I have a TalkTalk box and had to buy AJ - Usyk on my laptop because even though I was paying for Sky Sports via Now app, there’s no PPV facility without the specific Now box. And then also I had to download the special Sky Box Office app to watch on my laptop, was a right faff.

Bloody Nora.
If you want the full story of what a ballache it was - my mate came over to watch it with me, and it wasn’t until the show was about to start that we realised my laptop didn’t have the right connectors to hook up to my main tv. I quickly tried to download the Sky Box Office app on my work laptop as I knew that would sync up, but the IT boffins must have automatically banned those sorts of downloads, so it wouldn’t work. Eventually we had to get my mate’s missus to drive over with her laptop so we could use that instead. Right fvcking headache

I've never noticed it before but you can see that Brook has had an issue with his eye. Cant see the fight lasting long, but that eye will swell I think

I'll not be surprised if Khan wins inside 3/4 rounds and I can see it being an anti climax,possible a rapid flurry finish or injury

I think it ending early for either man has to be the betting favourite. I do favour Brook, I think his size and timing might be too much. Incredibly hard to judge, but I think there is more "fight" left in Brook -but that eye could be a potential issue, although I cannot see it going beyond 4 for either man.
It's always felt like Brook being so big and powerful and Khan having well documented chin issues that it's just about when Kell lands.
Khan is speedy for the first 3-4 rounds. Or was... And under Hunter he was quite disciplined in the ring.
Brook always fades in fights due to making the weight. I'm worried about his punch resistance too. Guys who are big at the weight often tend to get old overnight.
If Khan runs and gets himself into the second half of the fight then he can win this.
But I always favoured Brook. And still think he will win. I might even have a bet. Only bet very occasionally on anything. Never lost a boxing bet so far. Only ever made about 5-6 in my life, mind you.
I can't see this going the distance, both are shop worn, neither has the legs left. I expect them to stand and trade and one of them will go over in the first half of the fight.
A lot is made of Brook struggling to get down in weight and it's true, but looking at Khan in an interview last week he looked terrible and was glugging water. Not a good sign.
I favour Brook, unless his punch resistance is completely gone, which is very possible.
It is interesting hearing Dom and also Brook himself criticise / question his prep / weight making for Crawford. In the build up all we heard about was how "he's doing the weight right this time" and I must say I thought he looked cut to shreds (in a good way) weeks before the bout and I thought looked a million pounds going into the ring. I think he had a ready made excuse for perhaps the punch resistance not being there.
Although Khan's timing looked way off also against Crawford - yes lets not give Crawford a disservice he is an exceptional fighter but it was interesting how Hunter just left him out to dry really post fight with the criticisms that he was "shot". Khan looked more shot than Brook, untill Brook got floored.
