Amir Khan vs. Kell Brook | Sky Sports PPV - 19 February 2022

[JamesPhilips]

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.

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

Is the gloves are off out? I can’t find it just a teaser. To be fair gloves are off are insightful and the only preview type show I watch

[samwbr]

Who is in Khan's corner?

[Ruthless-RKO]

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.

Brook looked like he had no punch resistance in the Crawford fight. Brook always looks really good pre-fights. When he makes weight etc.

[Frostieballs]

I see the bookies have Brook a fairly strong favourite.

I’ll be going on Khan stoppage.

Could it be the battle to make weight the caused Brook's problems taking punches ?
Been known to really pack the pounds on in between fights .
Took some real punishment from Golovkin and didn't fold easily, punch resistance didn't appear to be his Achilles heel in the past unlike Khan.
Like everyone says , who's the least shot ? You really couldn't say at this point .

Anyone know what time the "day of fight" weigh in is at?

[Ruthless-RKO]

Anyone know what time the "day of fight" weigh in is at?

Probably the usual, Morning. I guess we’ll find out closer to the time. If they tell us.

[margaret thatcher]

was it tuan jim who thought brook was still in it and going to beat golovkin lol. premature stoppage!

Pretty key info. If brook has to be 163 at 8 or 9am thats probably so easy it dosent mean much. If he has to be 163 a few hours befor the fight its potentialy a real issue...

Alot of money moving around the bookies for this fight considering noone seems to know key information...

Is it contracted that they can weigh no more than 163 on the day ?

I think so, thats what iv heard but heard nothing about its timing. could be bulshit because i havent heard it directly from anyone that matters, just read it somewhere that seemed trustworthyish on the internet....

Ah ok. I’m just speculating here but if Brook has agreed to 149 with severe financial penalties for coming in over that, I’d be surprised if he’s also agreed to a rehydration clause. It seems he was more desperate to make the fight than Khan was but even so there must be a limit to the amount of hoops he was prepared to agree to jump through to get it signed

Id say giving up the 2 pounds to 149 was balanced by a rehydration... thats my guess. Khan said "you can have 147 with no hydration clause, or 149 with one" somthing along those lines. pure speculation but i feel khan wouldent of given up both seeing as he is the big dawg with more options (connor benn was practicaly begging to fight him).

[coneye]

Can't pick a winner for this one , gonna sit on the fence ,,

[MightyWarrior]

Bud Crawford is over helping Amir get ready for the fight ..how did that happen ?

Been training with him for many months now. Great sparring for Brook though and tells me that those spars have shown maybe Khan has a little bit left?

[MightyWarrior]

Thanks, I missed that.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Brook looked like he was about to cry seriously.

Felt a bit sorry for him.

He looks and sounds like he’s had a few years of IQs taken off him. Khan isn’t the smartest but made him look stupid. Brook could have some kind of brain-related issue. His body has taken a lot of punishment and some people recover better than others.
You can tell that Brooks’ been a boxer. Harder to notice with Khan.
Kel has always been a bit slow but I’m seeing stuff that worries me about him.

[forcefraser]

I thought Brook sounded a bit punchy, like his brain was in a fog.

Its all about the money for both of them.

I think Khan stops him early after a flurry and a Foster stoppage. Kells's eyes are damaged goods.

Yes it's not good is it?

I think the Golovkin fight ruined him, as well as smashing his face it's clearly left its mark on his brain, he's not been right since that beating.

[stujones]

Obviously this was recorded a while ago - wasn't it the day of the first announcement conference, so neither had experienced the camp. I think Brook is right about Khan knowing that this was always a "lots to lose" type of fight for him - he always had the british market to fall back on had he lost appeal in the US with too many loses, but a loss to Brook would have left him with no where - he sort of "side stepped" the domestic scene. I don't blame him, made a lot of money in the states and was in negotiations for huge fights.

Khan definitely looked and sounded sharper (don't think I've ever seen that) but at the same time I don't think I've ever seen him laugh and smile so much when discussing a fight. I'm not sure it is genuine either.

Yeh, not seen Khan act like that.

He’s always won the verbal battles against Brook and makes Brook look really small. Brook’s never had a decent comeback. Buts it’s not gonna matter on Saturday.

I checked my Sky guide. I can order the fight now.

[Switch hitter]

Kell sounds no different to 10 yrs ago. He's never been as good as Khan in the verbals. It will make no difference on Saturday night I've never seen Brook as determined. Khan can convince anyone he's in great shape and won't lose he's a great salesman but the true is he's not looked great for years. Just look at the clip of Khan sparring a kid that looks like its is first time in a ring all confidence boosters for him. Brook to win inside 5
