Khan shouldnt be taking punches. If assume brook carries him a few rounds and stops him

Khan shouldnt be taking punches. If assume brook carries him a few rounds and stops him

When Brook KOs him, Kahn will probably be ahead on the cards, like in most of his fights. Always funny to watch Khan, and hear his excuses afterwards.

When Brook KOs him, Kahn will probably be ahead on the cards, like in most of his fights. Always funny to watch Khan, and hear his excuses afterwards.

And then we will hear him say he will be back better than ever.
Same old same old

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

Khan is sloppy and makes mistakes. His speed could mask those mistakes when he was younger. I think he slows enough to make this a catastrophe

Its an interesting fight though since brook is damaged and old too

[Ruthless-RKO]

[irongloves]

This is a genuine 50/50. I'll go with Khan winning (if betting I'd hedge my main call with Brook by stoppage).

[Thomastearns]

This must be one of the hardest fights ever to call. Khan obviously took this fight thinking Brook was shot after the Crawford fiasco, but is that really the case?

Khan is the faster more skilled fighter but Brook is bigger and hits harder.

The catch-weight 149lb limit helps Brook enormously as those 2 extra pounds mean he doesn't have to pare down to his bare bones.

Khan could win by simply boxing clever all 12 rounds but we all know his macho persona often gets the better of him.

It's a habit he just can't shake off, and with his limited power and punch resistance it's downright foolish at this level.

In front of a mainly all British home crowd, will Khan resist attempting to take out Brook?

On the other hand Brook has desperately wanted this fight for years and years and seems rather too intense going in.

Khan has always been unpredictable and this one is no different.

If Brook knocks Khan out many will say it was obvious all along and if Khan outpoints a fading Brook many will also claim that was obvious too.

[goose 5]

Brook by stoppage is my prediction-looking forward to this.

[adislav123]

special k will dish em out plenty & king khan chew up those sweet crisp chocolate brownies, til he wants no more.

[irongloves]

I am a bit hyped for this. I haven't been hyped for a fight (boxing or MMA) for a while.

[victor-romeo]

two fighters well past there prime in a 50-50 fight

[Enlightened-One]

10-9 Brook.

Both men wobbled.

Khan’s resilience seems gone.

[CMCanavessi]

Great 1st round! Khan started better but then he was almost knocked down. Is he alright? Doubtful.

10 - 9 Brook

[lazboy]

Khan’s in big trouble.

[lazboy]

10-9 Brook.

Both men wobbled.

Khan’s resilience seems gone.

Both men wobbled? What?

[victor-romeo]

I only saw khan wobbled..which aint hard to do in Khans glass jaw case..

[Enlightened-One]

19-19 Khan wins the second.

Kell Brook isn’t letting his hands go often enough.

[Enlightened-One]

10-9 Brook.

Both men wobbled.

Khan’s resilience seems gone.

Both men wobbled? What?

Khan wobbled more than Brook. But Kell briefly wobbled.

[CMCanavessi]

Khan seems to have recovered.

10 - 9 Khan
19 - 19

[lazboy]

10-9 Brook.

Both men wobbled.

Khan’s resilience seems gone.

Both men wobbled? What?

Khan wobbled more than Brook. But Kell briefly wobbled.

Don’t think so buddy.

[Enlightened-One]

29-28 Brook.

Kell won that round due to the late barrage.

Amir won most of the round though.

[CMCanavessi]

10 - 9 Brook and it looks like it can end very soon
29 - 28 Brook

[lazboy]

I wonder if Brook will burn himself out? He should be able to finish Khan in the next two rds…if he doesn’t…khan could get back into it.
